FINALY installed my stance GR basics

[hungryjoseph]

if any of you guys order the GR basic, have the shipper make sure that the item has the pillowball mounts and camber plate, because apparently stance didn't have them assembled in some of their products.

ummm the install sucked. rusted bolts, stripped nuts, finding out the stock pillowball doesnt fit the coilovers after compressing the spring to take it out, then putting that strut back together, and more things that went wrong...

They're alright, not too stiff at all when you're on the softer side of the dampening, between 1 - 4. My downpipes been scraping everywhere, so i officialy feel like a cool kid now, i'm probably going to raise it tomorow, and bumpsteer aint no joke guys lmao. i'm going to get some outter tie rods and rucas sometime this week, then i'll give driving impressions.yeah i know my car's not pretty

[srpowered240sx]

sweet. did you get it aligned yet??

[hungryjoseph]

sweet. did you get it aligned yet??

nope no allignment yet, not until i get the outer tie rods and rucas in, and i'm still debating on rucas. i honestly dont give a poo poo about -3ish camber

[lucky7]

you might care if/when you start eating tires. lol. i havnt gotten an alignment either. i havnt gotten tie rods or ruca's yet, so im going to have to do that in the next few months.

[bamboo]

nice,how much did u pay for it total (shipping and handling)?

[hungryjoseph]

920 from enjuku

[ryguy32789]

How long did it take you to get your camber plates? I ordered mine from Enjuku and got the coilovers on Thursday, still havent gotten the camber plates yet.

[240love]

i order them for C2auto for more then enjuku unfortunatly...and i got no camber plates either...sucks

Negative camber really won't eat tires that much if your toe is good.

enjuku sent them to me through 2 day shipping, arrived to me on saterday.

did you call them to get the camber plates? cuz ill b ordering stance basics in a month or two and i really dont want any problems with missing parts

[hungryjoseph]

yeah i had to call them, make sure they check your coils before they send it out. and incase you didnt know, cus i didnt, the dampener for the fronts are on the BOTTEM of the coilover

[E7-S14]

yeah i kinda figured that out in another thread you made.but yeah ive had problems with parts shipment before and im fed up with the bullsh*t.Do you know of another site that ships them with camber plates and pilowballs

[hungryjoseph]

i know tougefactory.com has them, but they're expensive over there. i have the email from Stance with directions on how to assemble the coilovers, i'll post it if you guys want. it's not that complicated... but it's not exactly "commen sense" either. If i recall correctly, stance messed up a batch that went out to multiple places. but i am REALLY fed up with shipment problems.. almost everytime i order something online, something gets lost, or messed up... if i could do this over again, i would've gotten megan racing coils or KTS

[E7-S14]

Megan was my first choice.. but a few ppl say stay away from them.. but on the other hand ppl that have them love them

its like gay butshecks.. you either like it or you dont.

[240love]

well i think most companys that sell stance shipped them straight from stance them selve cause i got mine at c2auto and *didnt* get camber plates either

[hungryjoseph]

everyone i know has megans, and i've driven two cars with megans, and they're really not that bad. The steering response is way better than the stance basics. the basics feel a little bit sloppy... at almost every dampening level.

[E7-S14]

seriously.. i was all hiped up about getting Megans then changed my mind to stance..

I might get Megas now.how long has ur friends had theirs?and i assume no problems?

i dont understand y everyone gets on Megan coils so muchyou have to remember Enjuku racing used Megan coils on their FormulaD at one point

[hungryjoseph]

i've never heard of a good reason to down the megans. They're not like your high end stances but they ARE considerably cheaper. if i could do this all over again, i wouldve gotten kts or megan. one of my friends has had his for over a year, no problems. My other friend has had his for two months, and he backroads almost everyday, crashed his car twice, and the megans are still fine. he destroyed his steering rack. if you get megans, i'd get them from http://www.hopupracing.com , they sell them for 900$ shipped, cheapest i've seen

[E7-S14]

you have successfully changed my mind.. thanks for the info.. and link

[hungryjoseph]

ok theres WAY too much play in my steering...

[hungryjoseph]

Um so about the play in my steering, the shop pulled the tie rod out a little bit, would that cause the play? or could my pillowball mounts cause the play?

can you post up the instructions that stance gave you?

[Injured Gazelle]

I installed my gr basics last sunday and now my car bounces up and downwhen I hit a small bump in the road. It feels like im riding on cut springs!

I adjusted the dampening to soft then took the car around the blockand it still bounced up and down, adjusted it to hard and the bouncynessis still there.

Does your gr basics ride like that?
