lol those blue overalls are nice too

and good looking wide fenders you've got there btw.

They are a tad heavier than the silk roads, not too noticeable. The box is somewhere around 70 pounds according to TF.

And I love my overalls

, they say kidynomite on the back, but they are too small, I need to get some new ones...

In my limited experience, I found that even Zeal's with stiff springs (9/10, IIRC) have a better ride quality than Tien HE's. As for handling, I can barely drive a manual, so no opinion there.

I will also add to the beefiness of these coilovers.

Went down to Enjuku to take a look at these badboys (albeit they were for the Z33s, they're basically the same thing, with lower bracket differences), and yup, they're beefy alright.

I'm pretty much 90% sold on these, will be 100% sold once I see their shock dyno.

BlackS14 · 02-15-2006, 10:51 AM

I as well Ernest...I was but a couple months out from purchasing a set of the KTS coils, but these have me changing direction yet again. I can't wait for the shock dyno....

-Bill

driftking777 · 03-03-2006, 03:31 PM

any new results for the Stances? im lookin at ordering these in about 2 weeks, but want to know if i should get kts's or these...these sound damn good, and i like the fact that they come with the extra springs...so can we get a quick review, since you've probably driven on them some more...?

turtl631 · 03-03-2006, 09:21 PM

Ditto, I'll probably nab some in about 3 weeks or so, but I'd like to see a shock dyno first since it's been mentioned as a possibility.

Creizai · 03-05-2006, 11:25 AM

Any word on that shock dyno ?

Gearhead_42 · 03-05-2006, 01:40 PM

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

EchoOfSilence · 03-26-2006, 09:40 PM

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

where's the shock dyno, KidDynomite?

tErbo b00st · 03-26-2006, 11:35 PM

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!

cgguy · 04-11-2006, 02:22 PM

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 · 04-11-2006, 11:28 PM

Seems like the Enjuku drivers love these coilovers.

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

speedstar01 · 04-12-2006, 09:49 AM

any more personal reviews on these coilovers would rock!

mistert · 05-21-2006, 06:33 PM

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 · 05-21-2006, 06:54 PM

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 · 05-21-2006, 08:47 PM

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!

tre · 05-22-2006, 12:12 PM

To my knowledge stance = best bang for buck

tre · 05-22-2006, 12:13 PM

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! · 05-22-2006, 12:21 PM

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.

Xracer · 05-27-2006, 01:04 PM

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 · 05-27-2006, 06:32 PM

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 · 05-27-2006, 06:37 PM

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

Prok0 · 05-27-2006, 07:15 PM

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

TurK · 05-29-2006, 08:03 PM

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 · 05-29-2006, 08:43 PM

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 · 05-30-2006, 08:39 AM

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 · 05-30-2006, 12:00 PM

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.
