stance coilovers

[D2Falken]

hay i am buying stance gr+ tomorrow and was wondering what you guys think about them. i searched and got all the info but now i need to know what you think ? how is the quality over the years of the coils, how is the service in stance company. and what is the lowest the coilovers will go (how many inch will it lower my car.)

[ashibah83]

ive had my GR+'s for 2 years now and i LOVE THEM, over the 2 years ive had to increase my dampening adjustment by 3 clicks, they still ride great, for coilovers, and i have NO regrets about buying them

[D2Falken]

so they are good coilovers and what about the ride height.

[mystro2424]

stance is a good company there coilovers are very good. but why not get gr+pros thats what im using.

[D2Falken]

i would get the gr+ pro but the only difference between gr+ and gr+ pro is the helping spring. its $150 more for the pro and i need to use the $150 to buy other stuff for the car. maby in the future i will add the helping spring to my gr+.

[ashibah83]

what about the ride height.......

my car, which i recently lowered a small bit more, sits even with the top of the tires(245/40/17) and there is still plenty of adjustment to lower it more

[D2Falken]

do you know how many inch it can lower the car ? and my wheels are stock so they are only 15 in

[ashibah83]

...............

lower than it is possible to drive your car at, you SHOULD NOT lower your car as low as the coilovers will go, you will ruin the suspension by changing the geometry that much, not to mention you wont be able to drive that low

and if that isnt a good enough answer for you 5 inches

[D2Falken]

i am not going that low. the lowest i will go is 2.5in, i was just wondering. and thanks for the answer.

Can someone tell me what the helper spring does? I've heard that it increases ride quality & comfort, but reduces how low you can go. Is this true?

[D2Falken]

helper spring allows the shock piston to be placed in the optimal position within the shock body and increasing rebound stroke and maximizing articulation on cars with minimum suspension travel. so that is what a helper spring dues.

[dopplganger1]

it does help with comfort and i still have plenty of adjustment on mine

i can post pictures later when im on my computer

[simmode1]

So, why is it that I hear some ppl who get the GR+ Pro's end up removing the helper springs anyways? Any ideas?

[D2Falken]

i guess to make them stiffer.

[driftneil]

i guess to make them stiffer.

Come on man...In what world would taking OUT a spring, makes harder to compress? Think about it, makes no sense at all...If anything it would make it softer.

[dan14sweeney]

not always the helper spring could be a softer spring than the main one meaning it actually absobs most of the feel from the road however i have gr+'s and my buddy has pros mine feel a little stiffer but my car has more suspension work as well...as far as ride height you will be able to go lower than you can drive your car for example i had the same question as you when i bought mine so i set my s14 to where a beer bottle cap would touch my oem mud flaps fyi i couldnt leave my driveway either.

[zeedakay]

back is all the way down, fronts i got a few inches to go, do it

[D2Falken]

thanks for all your help and i just bought the coilovers 10 min ago. cant wait.

[anti_flag_army]

Helper springs dont help with comfort, go look at your car when it is on the ground and try to see the springs, they are fully compressed when there is a load on them. They are for keeping preload on the springs when you jack up the car, or if your suspension travels to the point where you could risk the spring comming unseated.

They are too soft to change the ride comfort or anything like that.

I run Megan Streets and I love them. lol

I run Megan Streets and I love them. lol

thats great, but the OP asked about Stance coilovers, so we dont care....

[Dittoz7]

[D2Falken]

[simmode1]

thats great, but the OP asked about Stance coilovers, so we dont care....

Thanks for answering my questions, too guys!

hay i got my coilovers at ebay for $1300 new shipped to my door because new coilovers at a store in town charge me between $1600 and $1700+ GST. do you think i got a good deal or could of i got a better deal from another place.

Considering that includes shipping, I'd say you got the standard online price. I pity the fool that pays $1700 for these.

I'm gonna wait til Thanksgiving/Christmas when all the online vendors start slashing their prices like crazy. I've seen these sell for $1000 shipped during the holidays.

[D2Falken]

$1000 !! thanks cheap if its with shipping
