lowering rear stance coilovers

[nelli]

I have a set of stance GR+ coilovers and i cant figure out how to lower it Can anybody help?

hmm k

loosen the bottom collar, turn the entire coilover body i think right until you get the height you want, then tighten the collar again, done.

Rubber gloves help when turning, gives you better grip.

**I actually took pictures for a "how to" incase i ever decided to make one... but i didn't think it was really needed. If a mod wants me to, i'll make one to be stickied.

You need to turn thread body which is not easy to turn. Wear rubber gloves and do it. It's easier that way.

the collar is inbetween the upper control arm and i cant get the wrench on it and cant get it by hand.

You only have to turn (loosen) the bottom locking nut (collar) whatever you want to call it.

My threaded body doesnt go down that far, but i usually just put one hand in between the locking nuts on the threaded body and the other around the spring, but making contact with the body of the coilover inside of the spring so i know i'm not just spinning the spring.

If you loosen the top locking collar, its just gonna mess up your preload when you spin the body, that isn't for height adjustment.

I understand what you are saying but on my car the bottom collar is in between the control arm i cant get it loose to spin it.

Do you have any pictures of the rear suspension so i can see better?

I have GR+ Pro and I know what you mean. Space is tight, but you should be able to loosen it up. I had no problem with mine. If you can't, you have to undo one bolt on RUCA and adjust the height. Don't tighten the RUCA bolt until you have perfect height you want.

is this the same way to lower the rear stance coilovers or just the front?
