Default Stance coilvers

Was curious if anyone has used Stance Coilovers on their S and what their impressions are...

very good products from what ive heard. ive yet to drive on them though. they are the next big suspension. better quality than d2racing, ksport, etc... in my opinion. im pretty sure enjuku racing uses them on their drift cars as well.

i also carry them.

Yeah, my buddy has it on his 350 and loves it but I have never heard of anyone putting it on their S.

They offer it for the AP1's but not sure if its the same fit on the AP2's.

I think that's a perfect springrate for a car that lives on the street.

I've heard Stance's Coilovers were pretty darn good for being made in china. Stance is pretty much a mirror company of Version Select/Togue Factory/and Orgin Lab if you guys didn't now.

Then maybe you shouldn't complain when others "Plug" companies that they have already had experiences with... Those are companies that also pay to be able to advertise on honda-tech just like you.

Actually the company isn't a sponsor. Quit bitching and grow up. I can't believe you're still bothered by it. Maturity around here is pretty easy to recognize, at least when it's there.

when you say the spring rates are 9k and 9k...does that mean its softer, bouncier, than higher springs rates? Sorry I noob.

sorry to answer your question the higher the spring rate the firmer it is.

12k/12k is some seriously stiff suspension for the street. I just got rid of mine because my back started to ache after commuting to and from work. I am searcing for some new coilovers right now and I saw these stance ones but I'd like to see some test data on them before I drop some money like that.

I found some test data on the D2 coilovers that seems promising. I am considering these because of their cusom spring rate availability and excellent. I know they are tiawanese but so are the stance ones right?

Test data from D2 coilovers



look! 1,000,000 cycles and still no leaks



this testing was done at
GERMANY Automotive Research Test Center (ARTC)

Just wanted to shed some light on other coilover options and chime in
