New! STANCE XR Premium Coilover - For the guys that want the best! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

tougefactory · 11-17-2010, 05:12 PM

Hey guys,

STANCE has released a new coilover, XR premium.

So you want to know what's so good about it? Here are the features.

First thing you'll notice is the huge size of the XR. The outer diameter is 60mm. Is bigger better? Yes, when it comes to dampers, size does matter.
Larger piston area produces instantaenous response to the slightest suspension movements. No dead spots with XR.

Larger diameter reduces rod pressure and keeps pressure more consistent to heat changes.
Larger oil capacity allows for fade free performance in the toughest conditions.

XR features completely new piston and orifice design that allows excellent "low speed" feel and "high speed" control. The result is a smooth ride and super stable car.

All STANCE monotube dampers feature inverted monotube technology. Don't be fooled by other monotube dampers that doesn't offer inverted dampers. Non-inverted type monotube dampers on strut type suspension have many performance disadvantages. The lateral load can actually put load on the shaft and prematurely wear out the internals. The lateral load during cornering can bend the shaft and in worse case, break. There is a reason why OEM high end factory cars like Benz,BMW, even WRX and Evos all come with inverted monotube dampers.

XR also comes with Swift springs. Swift springs are much lighter and offer more stroke than any other springs on the market. Tested back to back with other springs, it offers faster response than any other springs.

XR has been tested at the highest level of competition.

MSRP $2395

Available now for S13, S14, FC3S. Future applications Z33, CT9A, AE86.
S13 8k/6k
S14 9k/7k
FC3S 8k/6k

While others are developing lower quality products to keep the prices down, XR was developed for highest performance with no compromises.

On to pictures.

Was there when the first batch was unboxed. These things are legit. Wish I had the cash, maybe next winter...

Yeah these pretty much are DG-5s and scrumptious.

HAHA Funny, I was thinking the same thing! Well I just bought a set of coilovers but if I was in the market, I'd check these out for sure!

+1.

Just looked up the specs on DG-5's and compared them to XR's and they look nearly identical. Assuming the dampers are built to the same spec as the rest of the coil I'd venture to say that these are equal to DG-5... Except less expensive.

It's obvious they're ripping off the DG-5s just by the appearance and them now using SWIFT springs. That doesn't mean the dampening is the same though. :P

How's it obvious? Stance stated that XR is a completely different than the GR+. Stance has collaborated with Swift because their springs are good. Swift springs come standard on the GR+2 and GR+3 also.

If you guys are distributing these with the swift springs does that also mean you will be a distributor for swift now or are you just selling the stance product?

Just curious, but are the DG-5 coils also called the GR+?

Because if not, then where did Stance state that the XR is different than the DG-5?

by 200 bucks....

im going to venture and say since both probably come from the same place in korea and now come with the same swift springs that they are the same. but come on would you rather say im rocking stance or DG5?

thats all it comes down to... i miss my kei office d1 specs, best coils i have ever owned hands down

Sorry, no trade program. But if you have a proof of purchase, Stance is offering extra discount for the XR.

Thanks!

Perfect Balance · 11-17-2010, 07:31 PM

Shock Dyno?

Because as of right now I see a Fortune Auto coilover (Big piston monotubes) with Swift springs (can be purchased for ~$350) and an inverted damper for 2.5x the price.

Not trying to knock Stance, but the damper is what makes a coilover. I know Swift springs are good, but what about the dampers?

Fortune is 50mm and not inverted. XR is definitely not the same.

You said outer diameter is 60mm.

Fortune Auto's outer diameter is 57mm.

That's close enough for me (and not worth 2.5 the price) if the shock dynos on the Stances' aren't worth a crap.

Shock dyno please.

slideways2004 · 11-18-2010, 02:36 PM

all you guys asking for shock dyno's, do you even know how to read them?? Do you know what to look for on the graph?

It seems like you guys just want a dyno test performed without even being able to analyze the results.

LOL... that is so true. Many do ask for it, but there are a few on here that can analyze the results. I'm in for a dyno test also

ok. Taiwan's site states 50mm.

I can't seem to find the Taiwanese site. Have a link?

Actually the site says 50mm INNER piston size. The outer diameter is 59mm on Fortune Auto.

Whats the INNER diameter on these coilovers?

I didn't want to get involved in this since it's not usually my thing. But state facts.

Thanks.
