make sure you all order up 7k sprins because they offer bs lower rate springs for the rear.

What's the spring lengths on the GR+? I was looking at THMs website, and they show a list of replacement springs available, but I don't know what size springs are needed for front and rear.

you need to custom order cobalt springs as they do not offer direct replacements.

yep. its because of the way they designed the spring in the back. all the rest can do right into their other coilovers.

for coilovers there no such thing as good for under 1800 lol....atleast not from my stand point......street coilovers between 1200-2000 is one thing but not race coilovers like what i want.

Deffinately get the upgraded rear springs if you go with stance. I am dealing with this bullshit right now, try telling your wife that the $1300 suspension you just bought needs an upgrade.....she isn't too happy to say the least and honestly neither am I.

I'll buy them if you're considering getting rid of them.

PM me anytime if you want to consider this.

Didn't i post months ago that you need at least 7k in the rear with Stances?

And stance offers replacement springs for less than $100 a pair i believe.

Deffinately not getting rid of them, I spoke to the engineers and got most of the issues worked out. Still need the stiffer springs but the ride is better with the changes they had me make to the bumpstops.

Yeah I saw the post about the stiffer rear springs but just figured maybe it was a prefference thing, just happens that a few of us just bought these at the same time and the issue is being beat to death right now. From stance they are $50 a spring for the rear barrel springs.
