lg's customer service is also not an issue so that should be factored into the price... they have been nothing but helpful anytime I had a question or concern

Would I be doing any harm by lowering my car now (removing front bolts + longer rear bolts) until my coilovers arrive in a few weeks/months?
As far as I know if I get a quality set of coils I have to remove the front and rear bolts anyways, as well as the leaf springs am I right ?

Now, a very similar, but different instance just happened to me.
EXCEPT the parts "being left out" was the fault of my vendor, Dennis Dummer of DoubleD Mods, and NOT the fault of the manufacturer as the above case.
Scott, from Stance, is sending the parts out to me that I ASKED FOR BUT WERE NOT EVEN ORDERED BY DENNIS, and they will arrive to me Thursday. Two days! AT NO COST FOR THE PARTS OR SHIPPING!
Now, please tell me more about LG's customer service, at a much higher price point, I might add?
I don't care if my car rides like a wagon after I get these installed. Stance just gained me as a customer for life!

Agreed! If you ever have any questions with any of their products, give them a call and they will stay on the phone with you as long as you need until you've found your answer. A lot more than I can say for other companies.

They are sealed and need to be in a nitrogen chamber which I don't have so they have to go back to the manufacturer...

I will say a lot has changed in shipping and I think we have cut down dramatically in lost/damaged/missing items from customer orders. As was stated in that thread, and I do remember who was fired/quit in shipping during that time and yes we had a lot of problems while he was here.
We are humans, and humans make mistakes sometimes...all you can do is learn from it and do better the next time. Looking back, yeah we should have overnighted them to him, but we can all say that after the fact.
We have been doing this (Corvette parts), for over 28 years now, and plan to for another 28 years. If you have an issue with a part or service, let me know I'll do what ever I can to make it right.
Those who do not learn from history are bound to repeat it....

Our policy has always been replacement parts shipped the way the order was put in. Do we vary from that rule from time to time? Sure we do. That thread was 3 years old and I don't recall the exact specifics of why it wasn't done on our dime and the customer paid for the difference in shipping.

Received a PM from Anthony at LGMOTORSPORTS today RE: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...some-help.html
I was pleasantly surprised to hear from Anthony that he was going to correct an error in judgement back in 2013 (See above thread) It's always nice when someone can own up to a mistake and admit it, it takes a special Vendor to do that.
By the way, I love my GT2's., high quality, beautifully constructed product, I have NO noise issues that many other coilover installed Corvettes are resigned to, handles like a go-cart and looks good lowered with an OEM ride quality.
My son also has a '02Z and regrets purchasing another brand about $300 cheaper., has all the symptoms of clunks and squeaks many are experiencing, our suspension Tech installed both, LG's in my car and the other brand in his Z., his first observation was the superior quality of the LG's and noted that it was easier to adjust and install.
For a mere $300 difference quality always trumps price in the long term satisfaction, just my 2cents.

My Stance don't have any of the noises described by others in the past. Maybe the new design helped fix those problem. Just follow the instructions and use the stock rubber bushing on top of their bushing. NO bad sounds

Just an update RE: LG Motorsports & Anthony, received a "Care Package" today to atone for a mistake in judgement back in Apr. of 2013 and a very generous Package it was,
Not many Vendors would ever do that.
Thanks to LG and Anthony in particular!

installed the stance coilovers in my father inlaws c5 vert with no issues. he really loves them over the stock suspension and the adjustability. when I drove it, it handled great and no noise or clunking. I've used various coilovers on other vehicles over time, and never heard of friends that had stance coilovers have a bad experience. I personally used ksports (local in AZ) and have tried to be a lab rat for them if they were looking to make coilovers.

Your setup is not right from my understanding, you need "zero preload" tighten the spring perch untill you cannot move the spring easily by hand then tighten the nut one full turn.
if you give me your email I can send you the .pdf file
thanks Jason
