Stance LX+ coilover install and review IS 250
Got my Stance LX+ coil-overs from THMotorsports..Great people to deal with btw..
background info.
Car 2009 IS250 completly STOCK
roughly 900 miles.
ugly wheel gap
coilovers out of the box
old shock/spring next to new coil-over
front installed
new ride height
trunk dissassembled
new ride height
it got late....and i didnt get to snap anymore pics...i will post more as soon as i get a chance.
Settings
i left the dampening adjustment alone, as in they are set the way they were sent to me, i belive that it comes at setting # 8 out of 15
height- i need to make a few minor adjustments, but i measure the over-all height of the stock shock and took 1.5" off in the front and 1.25 off in the rear. i need to get the car on level ground and take a few more measurements and make adjustments. so far i belive im a quarter of an inch lower on the drivers side.
driving impression- i LOVE it. drives like stock, but lower. dampening is GREAT! not bouncy at all. ride it similar to my Tein Flex's that i have on my nissan (set at full soft)
car handles great....leaves more confidence when weaving in an out of traffic...(not that i do that LOL!).
if you are in the market for coil-overs that wont break the budget and will preform like high-end guys...these are for you.
Thanks THMotorsports!!!

sorry for the lack of updates. been working on my other project car.
they can go super low. i have a LOT of adjustment left.
i still need to get it aligned and would like to stiffen the back a bit.
i will get some pics hopefully tonight.
Thanks!
