Stace+ Coilovers

[AveZ4coop]

I am interested in these too.

I was told by venom motorsport that the adjuster on the rear should go at the top, then the spring sitting on the lower rubber pad... I may have put mine in upside down lol... still its a fairly simple thing to sort out haha

I had the same problem. I tried the adjuster on top, bottom and removed completely and I still had the clinking noise. Turned out it was the coils of the springs touching while compressing. I removed them and stuck some eibach springs in instead and I've had no probs since. My adjusters kept winding themselves down also which was quite annoying.

Good to know, can I ask which Eibach springs did you use in the end?

Eibach pro

well shock are in... thoughts,

Ride is not bad, bit bouncy but better than old ones and car passed its mot today.. yey..

after 10 mile drive a click from rear and a clonk from the front, god dammut

had a look around, the rear springs are the suspect for rear clonk/click seems the coil spring touch on full compression
as for the front, I have no idea.. check/tightend everything.. still bloody does it. Due to my current mood, tempted to burn the German POS other two thoughts are maybe bump stops are touching the top of the coil over or the top nuts are not tight enough, so in the meantime it's parked up and i'm here venting and ordering a proper socket to do up the strut nuts as a 22mm socket and mole grips just don't seem up to the job... If I can't find it its going into a garage. if still no joy the wife will just have to pay for stock shocks/springs to go back in and the stance+ are going in the bin.

Still..there is a cold beer in the fridge with my name on it.

Damn, I'm sorry to hear you're having so much trouble with them!

I guess this is the challenge with stuff that has a generic fitment.

Shame too as my shocks are done at 92k miles.

Found the issue was slightly loose drop link bolt, angry darren is happy darren now, Now I have had a bit of a drive on them now, i would actually say there pretty decent, with the spacer car feels stable even when pushing on. Alignment next should hopefully see better things still.

Ahh wonderful! That's good news.

Apologies for bringing this back from the dead!
The stance plus coil overs and drop links are coming up as £260 currently, any more feedback from users on durability and performance? I wouldn’t be expecting wonders but being able to alter the ride height is appealing and obviously the price is attractive compared to a Bilstein/eibach combo. Any other budget recommendations?

 

[yyz_bobby]

for those who got the stance+ kit - it has been awhile so any further updates on the ride? performance? handling?

Can i ask what settings you had for a good ride without too much lowering (possibly i wont bother lowering at all when i get the kit)

 

[jamie_z4]

interestingly, i have bought back a 2.5i i fitted stance+ ultra coilovers to back in april 2019, car has been MOT'ed since and done around 12,000 miles - it still rides lovely , no knocks/bangs etc - the adjusters are not seized up and the drop link rubbers arent perished etc.

ive raised them up from when i owned it, so it sits at OEM sport suspension height now, so rides even better

I’ve got this issue on my coupe with the clonking on the rear which was the exact problem I had with the joms

Venom told me to fit the adjuster at the top without the rubber pad so I’m going to have a play tomorrow at fitting the rubber back in and adjuster at the bottom, the springs are binding with it just sitting so if it’s the spring making noise I will have to speak to them about it

The kits in the US I see the adjuster at the bottom with a bolt and washer locking it to the lower arm

The clunking is the coils contacting each other. The lowering springs sit together in the middle, all the cheap ones do.

hi im liking the reviews on here on the coils so far. does anybody know where to buy the stance + ultra coilovers in the states or canada

 

[Special Kay]

I know this is an oldish thread, but have any of you guys got an 2/3 year update/review of the stance coilovers?

 

[chanlon1]

Bump on this one.
Anyone any further feedback on these after a few years?

 

[Meds]

Bump.
Any further reviews on these.?
Is the clonking still a possibility or have they redesigned something to counter it?

 

[M-Chaps]

I had to remove my set after less than 5 months. Both front shocks leaked leaving a bouncy front end. Rear shock bushing failed too.

Buy cheap buy twice.

Got a set of HSDs from diftworks now and have had no problems last 2 years.
