I went with the default spring rates, which seem to be fine.

No sense in getting custom rates until the car has been corner weighted with the final wheel, tire and component composition that is going to be on the car for a while.

They're standard sized coilover springs, so I can get swift replacements at any time from any retailer that sells Swift coilover springs, so there was no impetus to buy them from Stance direct.

Can't be cheap though. To save some coin I might just go with 14k, 8k off the bat and they keep their defaults.

I think it's ~250 a set for swift coilover springs.

Could be wrong tho.

Drove it to work, popped a 20A fuse on the O2 circuit, so I've definitely got something wrong.. sigh.

Guess I'll start by unplugging the secondary sensors and see if that makes any change.

If it doesn't, I guess one of the main sensors has been damaged and will have to be replaced.. yippie..

Blah blah blah...lame car/race car. :p

Have you tried cutting out random harnesses? I hear it's great.

wstar 11-01-2013 10:24 AM

Could be a damaged wire run to one of those sensors, too. Could check that with a meter on the connectors and the wiring diagrams for the sensors in the EC section of the manual. But yeah, if that doesn't work, just cut more wires till the car stops bitching :)

It's possible, but those harnesses ride inside the one that runs down the side of the tranny, so I don't have any reason to think they'd be damaged like the main O2 sensor (drivers side) was from the heat.

Still kicking myself for letting that happen, but I repaired the harness... I just hope it didn't do something to that sensor that's making it blow the fuses.

As a diagnostic step I'm going to disconnect the secondary sensors and do a drive cycle, see if it pops the fuse. If it does not, I will do a few more cycles until I am satisfied and then figure out where to get some O2 bung plugs.

If that does not make any difference, I'll have to sit down with my multimeter and the main sensors and see if I can find a high impedance conductor or something. Sigh.

If its the secondaries causing the problem, and you're running UpRev you can disable them completely and keep them removed, as long as you don't need to pass inspection(it will show as "Not Supported" for heated catalyst).

Hans, yeah that would be the plan. Hopefully that's all I need to do, really don't want to pay for a new primary O2.

Where can I disable the sensors within the software?

wstar 11-04-2013 09:16 PM

I think you just remove the sensors (if you have something else to plug the holes with) and disable the CELs for the malfunctioning heaters + sensors in the long list of disable-able CELs. Never tried it myself, though.

Sh0velMan 12-05-2013 10:55 AM

So I put a 30a fuse in and it hasn't popped.

I'm bad, I know. I just hate trying to nail down electrical issues with no obvious cause.

Other than that, I am more or less hunkered down for the incoming baby, so I haven't been doing anything with the car. I have an annoying rattle just behind the drivers' side seat that I can't identify. Can only reproduce it while the car is in motion, seems to be caused by an up and down motion of the car itself... So if I have free time in the coming weeks, I'll probably be out in the garage with a mallet trying to isolate what is rattling.

Yippie!

Mike 12-05-2013 08:41 PM

you can actually hear a rattle? Mine is so loud without an interior and with the open exhaust that I'd never hear a rattle.

synolimit 12-09-2013 08:32 AM

My gas tank covers rattle. I just reach back and punch them.

DEpointfive0 12-09-2013 10:49 AM

If you need a primary O2, PM me
