I want to figure out how to shim the rear like he did but not quite as much as he was running.
civic coils are way shorter and he got them for a deal i believe, the rear i think he had cut and rewelded, no shim.

Says he made his own custom shims and dialed in his own toe, then did a mini tub so he could fit 18x9.5 -8 (after adapters)

I don't understand why he would have to mini tub since guys are tucking 18x10's without tubing.

Hey guys. Need some quick help. Hoping one of you can. I'm putting in coilovers and can't get this damn bolt off. It just spins freely. How do I get it off??

vice grip the stud so it wont spin, but leave enough room to thread nut off, then use open ended wrench and hold the vice grips!

im pretty sure the end link is a 15 - 17 mm on the inside of the end link. if its 15 you can use a pedal wrench for a bicycle.

To each their own. I needed something right away since I cut my stockers so I just went to the local parts store and picked up Moog. Powergrid are more $$$ and adjustability isn't something I care about when it comes to endlinks.

Thinking about getting moog as well. Mine were a bit beat up so might as we'll replace them. I am going to end up cutting them as well. I couldn't get those f'ers off even with a tiny vice grip.

It's worth it, just replace them. BCs actually come with new end links, not sure why Stance didn't included new ones.
