I just installed a set of Stance coil overs last week. I currently have the dampening set on 6 front and rear and went right off the recommended spring length so far. I have the fronts all the way down on the perch and I can put two fingers between the tire and the fender lip on both sides front and its about 1/4 higher in the rear. Street car only thus far. Feels much better over expansion joints and feels more composed over stuff that used to make the rear "step out" some what. I am looking to learn from others as I bet there is a lot more with fine tuning.

SSrallyred, do you have issues in the back with the stances hitting the tierod? I have pfadts all around and have some clearance issues. I am thinking of going back to leaf springs in the rear and keeping the COs in the front.
