Currently saving up for GR's. Mr_240sx has GR + Pro, but has yet to drive on them because he's a big faggot and doesn't want to finish his car.

But he likes to take long walks on the beach.

^^ random. lol.

backwoods · 07-09-2007, 02:27 PM

So from what I've read the biggest difference is the extra springs and the helpers........right?

last time I checked you were his beach walking buddy

umzenki · 07-09-2007, 03:11 PM

better get on it if you want the GR+'s. They've been backordered for a good month or more. I ordered mine about 4 weeks ago and they're supposedly getting shipped out today. I can't wait!!!

DOOK · 07-09-2007, 04:05 PM

don't know where you ordered yours from but I called about a set last week and i could have get them overnighted if I wanted.

I don't think Zeal has a US page. Google can probably convert it for you.

It was a inside joke. I am running the function X and they came with some type-x springs. I was lucky enough to find some swift springs though. I nut in my pants everytime I ride in my car. That is how good the springs and shocks are.

Depends on which. I've ridden in both Function X and Function Bs. The Function Bs I believe are like 18k/12k on my friend's Evo and trust me, they are not soft at all. He has yet found need to use full stiff at the track.

Ok thanks a lot for clearing that up for me.

C. Senor · 07-10-2007, 10:25 AM

^yup, not a prob. edgar. your car is too high....needs to be a little lower man.

nlzmo400r · 07-10-2007, 10:55 AM

im looking into getting some gr+pros for my s13. Ive ridden on them in a friends s13, as well as an s14 and a z33, all of which were very impressive. The Z really makes the dampers look great because the chassis is so stiff already.

I have zeals on my s14...worth every penny. They even gave me a warranty certificate, how nice of them.

I have stance pro for my s13, but they aren't installed yet so I can't compare

I can't. I maxed the front already, lol.

C. Senor · 07-11-2007, 01:09 AM

^boo. LOL. when your low enough that you get stuck on speed bumps and cant get over them.....then you know you're low enough. and frankly edgar, you're just not low enough....even though you're slightly lower than i.

I don't get stuck on speedbumps cause I force my way off it, lol. Anyways, doesn't matter if I'm lower by 1mm or by 3 inches, point is, I'm lower ;D

DoriftoPnoy · 07-11-2007, 03:12 AM

I got GR+ Pros. Ride is way more comfortable than my bro's Ksports. I feel like I need to visit the chiropractor everytime I ride with my bro. But yea, my stances have been pretty good. Stiff when you need it, yet ok on the street.

davidrools · 07-15-2007, 03:00 AM

I just installed a set of GR+ on my s13 today. I haven't ridden in many other modified cars so I can really only compare to stock. I'm running the 8/6 springs and set the damping to 6, 10, and 13 but its still crazy bouncy. going over roads at speed I could comfortably take my stock suspension, on the stances, it makes me bounce so much that i can't help but jab the throttle with some of the bounces. did I just get some shot dampers or am I doing something wrong? I'm on 215/45/17 tires with about 1.25" of drop all around.

I'm sure I'll have better things to say about Stance once I get a nice ride. This is also a Hicas s13 and the stances didn't have the bracket for the ABS wheel speed sensor so I had to drill in the brake line holder and fab a quick and easy bracket.

SorJS13 · 07-15-2007, 04:00 AM

I ran those settings a few weeks ago, and i'm riding on Stance Basics. I had the same situation as you did. I run 8 front 6 rears now they feel close to stock suspension.

thatdrifterguy · 07-21-2007, 07:42 PM

can anyone tell me how big of a difference the helper springs make?

Gjohnson7 · 07-21-2007, 09:20 PM

Ok. I hear that Touge Factory has the best support, but who has the best price? The less I spend on parts the more parts I can pick up.

d*star180 · 07-21-2007, 09:24 PM

Ugh........price first, customer service is second then??
Not like the price difference is gonna be more than like 50 bucks between different distributors anyway.
Your buying Stance, not some fucking Ksports.

Gjohnson7 · 07-21-2007, 09:37 PM

I didn't realize customer service was that important when buying coilovers. This will be my first set. What issues arise that I should be concerned about?

d*star180 · 07-21-2007, 09:43 PM

Well, obviously, the suspension of a car is a wear item. And even some of the better mass produced coilovers will have bad apples. So say one of your dampers blow a seal and start leaking, or say you track it and bend one of them. Touge Factory is the main distributor of Stance in the U.S so they can give you exact dates on rebuilds and youd be working first hand with the manufacturer as opposed to a third party organization. Not to mention the Owner of Stance USA, Origin, Version:Select and all that shit is also the owner of TF.

Oubre · 07-22-2007, 03:34 AM

stance is nothing but good.
zeal/endless is great too.

comes down to pricing and how/when your going to be driving (DD/Track)

Stance
