Most People Just Like Them For Their Slamming Abilities And Decent Price.

I'm Either Going With These Or Endura-Tech's For My S14.

im basing this on info i have found over the past years. generally if you want a good price coilover that is good quality if you SEARCH stance and pbm come up all the time.

ive rode in a car with stance and they were nice and not to stiff for dd. pbm i have not. but it probably is the closest brand competes with stance pricewise. coilovers are all about preference.

Coming from someone who owns PBM coils, if you are JUST planning on daily driving these I would suggest to get the extra pair of 6kg springs to daily drive on. The normal 10/8 is stiff for some people, but if you track and drift like me they are great.
