I currently have stance gr+ coilovers and the rears as you may or may not know come with cable adjusters. I have routed my cable adjusters through the only opening i saw possible and then through the carpeting in my trunk however the cable adjusters still seem terribly hard to turn i believe due to the routing. Im trying to figure out two things how have others routed thier cables and I have an idea that i would like input on. I have provided my awesome ms paint skills to help clarify my thoughts. Below is a picture of my current routing and my idea. The black line represents a plate behind the housing u cannot see that only allows about 1 1/2 diameter object through in this case the top of the coilover with where the adjuster **** lies. The green line is the current routing of the adjuster cable and the red circle is my idea in which i cut out that area to allow easy routing and a more direct path for the adjuster cables which i believe will make it easier to turn. Thank you for your input im sure people will comment on my wonderful paint rendering too.

 

Is the damping adjustment hard to turn without the cable attached?

I don't see a problem with drilling a hole where that red circle is in your picture. It should help to keep the cable at less an angle which would make it easier to turn. Of course, this is assuming the cause of the hard turning is the cable and not the adjustment on the shock itself.

 

i cant get my fat fingers in there to turn them without the adjuster cables. My thoughts exactl about the angle. Im wondering what others have done.

 

I have the Stance GR+ as well. And have done exactly what you did. Yes it is a bit harder to turn, but that is the same with all adjusters like that.

 

rx8ya, maybe this might help...

Just want to bring something up about the adjuster cables since I went through the same problem with it being stuck and hard to adjust. I know shaving the bottom is a good idea, but I found an easier solution to this... Instead of shaving the bottom a little, I stuff the inside of the adjuster **** with 2 small pieces of zip ties which I cut out, so that will raise the **** a little. Any small thin plastic or metal will work! (Just remember not to stuff too much in there where it will block the little alen screw from locking the **** on to the adjuster)

After raising the ****, it becomes very easy and smooth to adjust!

If you want easier access to the **** from your trunk, I suggest cutting the trunk liner a little where the **** is located. This will allow the **** to be visible and stick out a little. That way you won't have to dig your fingers behind the sharp *** fender liners!

 

Mine were installed just as yours. The left rear was 'tight' but could adjust, but the right rear would not adjust. Rerouting the cable adjuster is not the issue. The **** that gets fastened to the adjustment rod is too big and needs to be ground down. Unfortunately, Stance did not do a very good job assessing the clearances.

 

I had the same problem, same solution.

Kinda a thread jack, but did anyone get a 3rd, smaller spanner for locking in the spring pearch?

 

^ Nope but i believe some of our vendors were communicating to stance that it would be nice to have.
