Default Coilover question..

Right now i have stance coilovers and want raise the rear on one side, but the shock will pop out of the cup. Are there coilovers with different length cups? Thanks

I have Stance as well.
When you say the shocks pop out of the cup are you saying the cup/shock body is striped out or do you have the cup unthreaded to entire way?
You should not have to unscrew the cup that far you might want to have the coilovers looked at, they could be wore out.
Are they the older Stance? If I remember correctly they changed the length at some time.

I don't remember if the earlier or latter coilovers were the longer ones. I'm not recommending this but you could add to the lower or upper mounts.
