I had the Stance coilovers set to 0 out of 15. I once tried to run a 4 of 15 but I think my fillings were going to fall out, lol
At zero the dampening was probably 2x as tight as stock but add that to spring rates of 7k & 9k, you can imagine how harsh the ride was. |

Wow. Just went through this entire 51 page thread while watching the Oscars. It was cool being able to follow your past two years all in one go.
Who doesn't love a SWP hatch, right? There were a few things that I was going to reply to (but knew I should wait until the end) and in the end it wasn't needed. I went through many of the same decision processes as you and so many others that have benefited from this thread. I went different ways from within your same list of considerations, TE37SLs in 18x9 +45 (on conti DW 265) for summer, Greddy SP Elite, KW v3 coilovers, etc., but it was a very entertaining read following along with your choices/reasoning. The amount of time and effort you have put into your build is outstanding. Congratulations! Andre |

Looking forward to installing these this weekend. I'd like to do them today but I wanted to take some install pictures and my car is a mess after the snow storm yesterday |

I'd love to see images of your car as I still think about getting super laps and would be interested to know how 265's fit on a 9.5" rim. I was disappointed about how narrow the 255's on the 9" were and wonder if it's the same for the 265's on a 9.5" I'm assuming the DW's just run narrow than star specs or similar. |

Snow storm or not, the install had to be done. Suspension parts get impatient when uninstalled. They can only sit idly by for so long.
