Stance GR+ (true coilover) 12 G37s sedan

So I just installed my Stance GR+ coilovers (true non OEM type) & I have to say, I LOVE THEM! I don't know why more people aren't going with this setup as it is a very well built & pretty cheap setup. Anyways, on with the review. Install was a breeze & pretty straight forward. My only dislikes were that the mounting "stud" for the front brake line wasn't able to thread on the nut due to the heavy coat of black paint on the threads. I just used zip ties to hole it in place. Also if you're worrying about adjusting the dampening, you will need extenders for the rear (stance offers them as an add on) & drill a hole for them. Or deal with the fact that you have to remove the rear coilovers to make dampening adjustments. I set my ride height all around to 26 5/8" from the ground up. Dampening set at 6 clicks from full soft. I only went with the SPC rear camber/toe kit for alignment, which was a bitch to grind out the eccentric bolt holes lol. Took it today for an alignment & got everything (except front camber) dialed in. The ride is slightly stiffer than stock. Feels like it should've came like that from the factory. No rubbing when turning, going over dips, speed bumps, etc. I would highly recommend this setup to anyone who is looking into upgrading their suspension. I'm sure there are many better options, but you can't go wrong with these. Here's some pics, ENJOY!

Dampening setting? It's at 6 clicks from soft... The car can be slammed WAY more than that. But I wouldn't be able to get up my driveway lol.

But I Agree for the $$$ You get one of the Best Set ups IMO... adding Sways and Strut bar even makes it better ...
Nice Drop! I have the Stance SS's snd yes buying the Extenders is a must in the rear... $98 for the set... $10 for gromets, sealer and mounting bracket... electrical dept... from Home Depot... Stance are Low strait out of the box though sitting at 25 1/2 4 corners I still can go a lil lower without scraping the reflectors off the road...lol

Seriously by far the best, after I buy sways Iam going for the extenders which I have them at 4 clicks away from stiff I believe, dont bother me rides almost inches away from stock, So Sways make another level change on handeling ?

Im 12 from 15 in the rear almost max Stiff... to compensate Fuel and my kids I was at 10 but went even on the Drop and had to go stiffer once fuel went in to not droop so much... 10 in the front from 8... but yes adding My Sways (Hotchkis) and Cusco strut it went from riding on rails to running on a track... responsiveness is tight... some turns to tight but you'll get used to it..
