Fitment is fitment. Get it right or get it tight.

Hard to say, I installed them a couple days ago and have been adjusting them almost everyday ever since. I adjusted the front so many times I could probably do it with my eyes closed. It's almost dialed in though. Now I need to adjust rear. Once everything is good I'll drive on them a while and post a review.

Also does anyone recommend that I cut the bump stops in the rear?

A couple people backed out of the Stance groupbuy. I'd jump in on that. They have custom spring rates which are stiffer. So it's good to be a better, less bouncier ride similar to BC.

nothing?

I know this is Stance or get out but some of you have to daily your car. WOuld like to hear more about the ride. If a stiffer spring makes you less bouncy that in turn would find you with harder hitting potholes. Get a middle of the ground spring rate and a good adjustable shock should fix that. Who has a very good ride and back it up with why.

i have ksport and with it all the way down with locking ring in it was bouncy due to the short spring 4k hahha and shock length probably, i havent adjusted the damper yet but i plan to set them harder to help with rebound when i go over bumps. more rigid maybe?

a new spring set in the rear, higher spring rate and taller spring might help

cant really help haha

thanks D. I am really finding it hard to spend the kind of cash on a CO just to have to turn around and wish I had just kept the CM springs with fe5 shocks/struts.

proper length in the shock with a great spring rate spring will give u lows and a more rigid cozy ride...or maybe its one or the other

when i ride in cars that are stock my back always hurt after haha leather seats and a few hour ride makes me feel like grandpa
