We werent going to have a specific group buy, we were just selling them for a crazy low price. If there is enough interest, we may think about doing a group buy.

it's 16 way adjustable I think it should be I havent played with all my dampening settings yet.

Question for THMotor:

I have a set of GR+ myself why is it that one side front and back I have to adjust the coilover rings a bit more to get an even height setting?

The front I would turn the ring a bit more higher on my front passenger to get my front end the same lowered height

The rear I would turn the ring a bit more high on my rear passenger to get my rear the same lowered height.

Also..... I compressed my front coilovers with the same amount of turns and same dampening setting my front passenger side seems to still bottom out a bit often then my driverside (Upper Control Arm hitting the upper chassis).

Thanks,
Dara

They are 15 way adjustable.

DPromGS: Thats interesting. Obviously, the corner weights are going to vary slightly, but it shouldnt have that much of an effect. Ill look into it and see if i can dig up some more info.

Okay thanks! Im just a bit worried hoping it doesnt play a role of blowing the shocks/coilover or leaking them.

Do you have a shock dyno graph of these coilover for the 2GS application. What I'm interested in is the low speed compression/rebound graph. Also, what spring rates are offered for these coilovers.

I gave them a called but they said that they don't have the shock dyno nor know if they even have them. So I asked them if they didn't have it on a shock dyno, how were they able to design the coilovers in the first place... They replied by saying they just have a good product... The only reason why I'm asking for the shock dyno is because I want to compare there's to mine and then do a write-up on proper suspension design for the GS..

Asked the guys here and we are not sure. The shock itself does not move so im not sure what the problem is. I understand what you are saying, but it doesnt make sense that it would happen on just one side. Could be a problem with the shock. Hopefully your still under warranty (1 year). Give the guys at stance a call and see what they have to say.

Like I said about the different positions of the rings, corner weights vary which is why they are not all the same amount of turns.

Well thats not good. I have been told that the factory has dyno sheets, and that they did conduct tests.

Thank you,
