Stance Coilovers

[Gearhead_42]

Yah, VERY interested in that dyno... especially at the slow end of things, since I'm running in an autocross environment...

[EchoOfSilence]

sooo..............


where's the shock dyno, KidDynomite?

[tErbo b00st]

The shock dyno is coming...they are in the process of making the mounts.

I have now been driving on my Stance's for over a month now and I still love them. The damping is crazy good, especially considering I have shitty all-seasons. I have done a small amount of parking lot drifting and really like the way they feel thus far. Of course the true test is a full track day w/ good tires, but that will have to be in atleast a month. Still give it 2 thumbs up!

Anyone out there able to add a new review? Iv'e done as much research as possible on these but with such limited time on the market it's still hard to find first hand reviews from actual owners.

I'm literally a day or two away from plunkin' down my cash on a set. I'd love to hear any good (or bad) reviews from anyone running these coils.

Thanks!

[SoSideways]

Seems like the Enjuku drivers love these coilovers.

So I'd say that they're good shit.

[speedstar01]

any more personal reviews on these coilovers would rock!

[mistert]

i can tell you this, stay away from the HKS coils. i had/have hks hiper-d (i still use the rears) and while theyre great, they blow for streetcar and are simply not worth the money. that and hks usa aren't very friendly when it comes to rebuilding, very expensive, bad turnover rate, and they make you go through authorized dealer

for a budget coilover the mookeh's are cool, i picked up a set for $300 (same as the powertrix ones as far as i know) i have those on the front of my car right now. i just changed the springrate to an 8. i couldnt care less about them because they have even more height adjustability than the hks and the car is a daily driven street car.

edit- i really regret not just buying the silkroads or gp sports, best on the market for the money that i know of. warreng at speedalliance always has great deals on them

these origin/d-drug coilovers look pretty interesting, too...

[k-specdrft]

yes stance ar great my friend has them on his s14 and he loves them and his exhaust is like an 1inch or 2 from the ground its low and stiff ive ridin with drifting and its awesome! go with them for all you people that like it low, and stiff

[devonkyle77]

would these be more comfortable on the street than say, megan coilovers?

They both have 8/6 spring rates so the ride would be similar.

I have the Stance and even with damping set to full soft potholes still really, really hurt.

NYC potholes are bone jarring on stock s14 suspension! You learn to be a different driver with c/o's.....

but yea, I would imagine any aftermarket suspension setup would make pot holes a bit harsher!

To my knowledge stance = best bang for buck

[tre]

plus they give you a set of 9/7k springs aswell.

But i'd scrap both sets of springs and go buy some afco springs to the rate i want. lol

[1Via!]

I love my stances'. Ive been driving on them daily for about a month now, and they continue to impress me.
For what I paid i am very happy.
However, I am looking forward to seeing the dyno results.

Ive got these, i have the 9/7's on there, its not that stiff at all to me. When i first put them on the car handled so neutral compared to stock, i can corner so much faster, body roll is almost gone. The only problem ive had is the clearance between the lower rear mount and the ruca's there is VERY little space in beween them and they rub sometimes if there is enough flex in the suspension comopnents. i just flipped the bottom mounts around and its all good now.They can be a tad on the bouncy side if you get on a highway thats not very friendly. ive never used any other coilover so i cant compare to anything else.

[SilviaSR20DET]

is the switching of springs a easy thing to do? i just ordered mine and wiatin for them to get sent to me so i just want to know how to put the springs on and off. thanks

[KiDyNomiTe]

Its just like adjusting the height, just spin the bottom bracket and collars off, replace spring and then put them back on.

[Prok0]

Any shock dynos yet? I remember like 2 months ago someone claimed they were getting them?

[mykem]

side by side pic comparison to my ex Kei Office:

[TurK]

they look real good next to other brands....but do they perform as good? im guessing kts is the competition here.....what make you guys choose these over kts or megans?

[Xracer]

I chose them because i liked the design, they come with 2 sets of springs, and i got them for a good price. plus they just look sexy.

[Jefferson]

yeah a KTS vs Stance comparision would be great. I am kind of torn between the two and don't know which ones to replace my Teins with

[turtl631]

I've got a set of Stance on my S14 and my roomate has a set of KTS on his S14. I haven't really been able to drive on mine yet though. I'll post later on when I have a better comparison, but it still won't be that detailed since our cars are setup fairly differently.

And where's that shock dyno? I'd really like to see it. The KTS one is on the SPL website; they aren't very digressive at all, but the adjustments actually do something and they make a lot of damping force, notably in the low speed area where its important. They probably feel stiff because the high speed damping is pretty brutal.

[cgguy]

Anyone ever heard of HSD coilovers? No? They are a company out of Austrailia, and, if a picture is worth a thousand words they seem to get thier coils from the same place Stance does. I found out HSD coilovers are manufactured in Korea. So perhaps finally an answer as to the build location of Stance's products.

Both are inverted monotube, they share the same damping and spring rates, and they both cost roughly the same price. Aside from being green they look like identical products.

Have a look and see what you think.

Peep those lower brackets, no dust boots, the damping adjustability is different from my Stance and the bumpstops are different, rear shock appears to be thinner, perches are thinner...


I dunno, if its the same factory, the parts are different between the 2...

[-L(-.O)]

I cant explain stance to anyone, but after riding in my cousins 240 with stance... I'm odering them tomorrow.... couldn't care about the other ones. (only because it fits with my driving style) : )

[Clawhammer]

Me too if the Auto RND guys would get back to work! I'm racing a clock here!

[Gumballf355]

I love the Stance Coilovers... I need to pay AutoRnD a visit.
