I have heard realy good things about both coil overs, I was just wondering if any one had experience with either or both?

Don't know about Super Drift, but I have GR+ Pro. Got it under $1200 shipped. I was amazed by the ride quality. I have 8/6 springs and ride was not bad at all. Stiff and comfy at the same time. I'm just so happy with it. They also include a set of extra 9/7 springs.

My friend has super drift, he loves them to death..The only trouble came in when he bent a piece of it, tein made him ship the whole coilover to mainland so that THEY can fix it. They wont just ship you the piece you need.

iirc the teins are still using a dated twin tube design, the stance coilovers on the other hand are using a monotube design which reacts quicker (this is my limited understandign)...i had the old tein he's and went to kts. i love my coilovers now and will not run anything else

Didn't know what to get between Stance and KTS. Searched like crazy and this one guy went from KTS to Stance and he liked Stance better, so I decided to get Stance. If Stance didn't come out, I would have definitely bought KTS. Besides, I found special and GR+ Pro was only $86 more than KTS. Both places have same good rebuilding policy too.

i love my stance coilovers to death. i ran the 8/6 springs but then put the 9/7's ( not my dd) and they ride very nice on both sets of springs.

I know how the stances ride, Im not worried about that. I would like to know performance comparisons (sp).

Has any one drifted on both?

stance are superior design, so they will outperform

iirc super drifts are still the ancient design tein's, only their really high end stuff is real good...most low end stuff isnt worth it

IIRC, if you pay $150, they will send you a new one. There's a slight price difference between front and rear ones. Anyway, I made sure to compare with KTS($550 for a new set) and there was not much difference. Stance's customer service/support is as good as SPL. Never heard of blown Stance so far.
