I wouldn't bother even trying to go through stance because its been almost 3 months since I ordered a custom set and they said 4-5 weeks max. Went through BC and got a custom 7k rear set and it's too bouncy for the shock to handle.

Have you tried stiffening the rear shock?

Is the 7K same length as the Stance 7K rear?

To a point. Only the front tires are affected by the drop. Its always recommended to get an alignment after you lower the car. Caster is not affected or adjustable with coilovers, just camber. What ever the caster is after you install them is what its going to be at, and it doesnt affect how the tires wear. Camber doesnt really affect how tires wear all that much either unless your over like 3* where the contact patch is only on the sidewall. Toe is what really eats up tires and what gets affected the most by the drop. However aftre installing my coilovers and dropping my car like 4inches the toe in the front was only off like .5* from spec. I just set it back to zero and went.

I have the rear set to full stiff but it feels like they can't handle the stiffer spring. I hit a medium bump and it keeps bouncing. Just not overall happy with how much I have spent on these compared to the ride quality, front is great but they REALLY need to improve the rear.

Mine are set right in the middle in the rear and I don't get much bounce at all. My car is much lower than my SC was on sportlines and it rides a lot better now with the coilovers.

PMs sent.
Can someone get me the dimensions of the springs they want to run and I will look to see what I can get?
Let me know... I want to help. Hopefully the guys at STANCE can chime in.
The rear is a progressive spring. So you don't want to compress it too much. But should be able to handle it no problem no matter the drop.

The rear was full stiif so I dropped it down 2 clicks and it rides a little better. I am still waiting to hear from stance about my springs because the BC's I put on I had to take the lock rings off and there is still a finger gap between the tire and wheel well.
What kind of measurements do you need? I can take some from the stock rears that are sitting in my garage when I get back to MD on saturday.

PMd ya!
Basically the dimensions of the ideal spring that you, or anyone else would want. Along with the ID,OD of top and bottom. I have one in stock, but Once its sitting in our warehouse its packaged up and in ready to ship condition. I really prefer not to open anything up and mess up the order of things.
