Just installed my gr+ pros 3 weeks ago and couldn't be happier!!

When you install them, don't tighten the rear helper spring up barely at all--I was fighting a bad squeak in the right rear every since I installed them and couldn't figure out what it was. Called stance and they told me to droop the spring 1 or 2mm (or basically don't put much, if any, tension on it), and the squeak went away!!

Also, did you buy rear toe arms??

Are those PS traction control rods as well? Be forewarned: I have run them for 2+ years, and the heim joint needs constant lubrication. I was lax in the first few months and mine have rusted.

Keep us posted on the RUCAs. For how cheap they are, I may pick up a set.

Yeah I got the GR+ pros from auto RnD.

I got the tension rods off ebay. I am kind of weary of ebay parts, but these have a 1 year warranty on the rods and a life time warranty on the sperical bearings, so I figured I'd give them a try. So far the only complaint I have against tension rods is that they don't have a boot to cover the sperical bearings.

Here is a link to another set:

Kool, I will check that out. I told my buddy who had Stance and he said he didnt like them. I am like what how could you not, I have heard only good things, and I have wanted them for a while. He said the dampering was reallly soft and he didnt like them. I was like well cant you damper them, 15 way I thought he was like well i guess.. He has had about 5 different sets of coilvers from Stance to Megan, he is currently runnin KTS and said they were the best but whatever, I am going to go Stance and if I do not like them I can sell them and get KTS. thanx for the Auto RnD tip.
