Stance lx+, gr+ pro, and megan coilovers review on s14 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

tr0n9h · 02-04-2011, 12:23 PM

I can chime in on more review on those coils-over for s14. I bought the LX+ coil-over after I try the gr+ pro. gr+ pro ride very ruff compare to my first coil-overs megan. I could not handle the ruff ride on the gr+ pro so I sold it and went with the lx+. At first the lx+ was very comfortable right out of the box lower about .5 to 1inch above tire. Then i decided i wanted to slam my car (bad decision.) I lower where each of the fender about 1 inch below the top of the tire. The ride all of a sudden became very stiff and bouncy all over again like the gr+ pro but just a tiny bit more comfortable.

So comparing all 3 coil-overs that I have experience with.

I will rate the following from 1 to 5 stars.

Ride Comfort:

Megan- 4 stars
Stance GR+ pro- 3 stars
Stance LX+- 5stars (UNTIL U SLAM IT THEN IT RODE LIKE SHIT)

Stiffness:

Megan- I don’t remember .
Stance GR+ pro- 5
Stance LX+- 4

Comparing both GR+ AND LX+ on full soft settings. The LX had a lot more body roll doing a sharp turn at 80mph.

So all in all. I like the LX+ only when you don’t slam your car. If I could rewind time, I would go the GROUND CONTROL AND KONI YELLOW SETUP. I use to have this setup on my Honda Civic EK Hatch and they rode very comfortable to the point where it felt like stock even when tucking tires.

What a horrible review. You dont include any alignment specs nor what you do with the car. Is this a daily comfort driver, drift, time attack? Did you even dial in the dampers, change spring rates or lengths?

All those coilovers you listed have height adjustment independent of preload...lowering it should not make it stiffer or bouncy.

This is the most worthless review ever.

Also, it helps to use complete sentences when you are trying to give a respectable review on a product, but that is obviously the least of your worries.

I am guessing you did the epic noob fail and lowered the springs lower colar instead of raising the lower mount to lower your car. Resulting in butt loads of droop and fail.

It's cool that you tried to write a review thread.

It's not cool that you spelled rough as "ruff".

Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard.
At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought.
Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.
I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
