Finally Stance AWD
#17
I got them installed a few months back and it is a day and night difference between springs and coilovers. They ride much better and the quality is on point. I got the extenders for the rears so they can be adjusted from my backseat. Here is how mine sits.

Would anyone know how to configure the TRUE type setup for the Stance coilovers? I have them ready to install but just unsure of the correct method of installing the rears. Any insight will be appreciated as i'm confused as to the proper way to put it together. Thank you.
Attached a picture of the True type kit.

No instructions? I'm looking at photo in low res on my phone but you will need to remove the top mount to get the soring on. Looks like there's a rubber isolator for both ends of the spring. So starting at bottom, you'll have the cinch collar, bottom metal mount, rubber isolator, spring, upper rubber isolator, top mount. For spring preload just rotate the bottom spring perch til you can barely rotate the spring by hand. Tighten cinch collar. Check after a few weeks to see if the springs settled and check shock preload again.

Thanks! Yea i didn't receive any instructions per say but just information on pre load and other info that doesn't explain installation. Unsure of the names of the parts, i attached another photo with the parts numbered , so i know to be %100 sure as i'm doing the installation myself. Thanks.

Ok looking at photo on a real computer now
First really important question...have you ever installed suspension pieces on a car before?
You'll need the FSM which has the torque specifications. You can find it here:
Infiniti G35 / G37 Factory Service Manuals - NICOclub
So looking at your photo, #6 is the lock (cinch) collar used to lock and unlock the height adjustment portion of the rear shock. Once installed, you loosen the collar and spin the shock body clockwise or counterclockwise to lower or raise the vehicle.
#4 and #5 are essentially washers which protect the top and bottom (assuming aluminum) spring mounts from the spring itself. On mine, they're nylon or delrin. Kinda shocked they're using metal washers.
#7 is your top mount. It'll go top mount, one of the metal washers (4 or 5) then your spring, 8.
1, 2 and 3. 1 and two are threaded spring perches. #3 is the lock collar. You'll have to take #7 off, spin on #3 first, then 1 or 2, then your metal washer (4 or 5) then the spring (8). I'm not sure why there are two of the perches (#1 & #2) unless that's the bottom spring perch for the other side? You should really only need one for each side.
For the actual installation, I believe there are more than a few threads on it plus there's a decent video here:

You are a life saver, thank you very much for the detailed explanation. I have never done suspension on a car before but have installed my swaybar, exhaust and other small repairs. Will def. be torquing everything down per the manual. I was quite confused as well why there were two perches for each side, i have 4 total. Everything else about the install seems straightforward and the only confusing part was how the True setup goes on (and you cleared it up for me).
