Stance vs. KTS

[award78]

So I've narrowed my decision down to GR+ Pro's or KTS coilovers. Any one have there opinions on either of these coilovers? The main difference is the Pro's have helper springs on the rears which supposedly help out traction......I think. Anybody think the helper springs are even noticable, worth an extra $200? I could spend that money on rucas and toe arms.

if you had done any research, you'd know that there is no comparison.

I've done lots of research on both and have read good comments and very few complaints about both. I was mainly wondering if there were any noticable benifits of the helper springs in the rear.

Helper springs are not worth an extra 200. You could add helpers to kts for less than that. That however, is surely not the only difference between the two.

d!ck, why do you say that? I personally have heard the same things about kts as I have about stance. I'm not sure which is better. Stance certainly go lower so if you care about being ridiculously low then they are the best bet, but I hear that damping is pretty good on both. They also have similar warranties, and similar rebuild/replacement policies.

ive had my kts now for 3yrs now. ride good but need a rebuild. they dont feel "stiff" and has some street comfort. at the track they are goood.they dont go that low in the front. im not a suspension genius but i know they are waay better than megan. never rode on stance. maybe my next coilover

Only reason he thinks they are better, is he is a Megan hater. Follow his recent posts, just another jdm tyte magen basher. its not a Stance vs Kts vs megan, so why bring the brand up? oh yeah, so you can bash em even tho you have 0 of their products. SKEET! lol

Any ways, you can't go wrong with either Stance or KTS. KTS is a really good coilover, haven't experienced Stance yet, but i was thinking about getting them next.

I guess a good question to answer to get a better idea what you want is....what are you going to be doing most with your bucket?

[naed240sx]

My kts with Z32 rear forks go equally low front and rear. Just enough to eliminate all wheel gap on 235/40 tires at zero preload. That is plenty low enough for anybody interested in good handling. Any lower and suspension geometry gets even more out of wack, and you have to droop rear spring which is just dumb.

DD most of the time but I'll probably do some time attacks at Summit Point this summer, and definately some spirited back road driving. Drifting, maybe in the future, I just know I'll hit a curb and screw something up, so maybe not.

I'm kinda leaning towards Stance GT+ because I hear they are more comfy than KTS and do good at the track, right?

Oh yeah, some people say the damper adj knobs on KTS tend to seize up. I don't like that.

Yes, but the new kts model has replaceable knobs.

do stance come with different spring rates?

[slik_s13]

i bought kts coils but i have yet to experiment with them. =(

do stance come with different spring rates?

come on you should know that...pshh this guy

gr sport, gr+, and al+ have the usual 8/6

gr+ pro has the 8/6 or 12/10 buddy lee

[4bangers]

is KTS same level as GR+ or GR+ pro?

Does Stance offer z32 fork for the rear coilver?

I'm debating between the 2 coilover, what are the strength and weaknesses of these coilver? thanks guys

[94_240sx]

gr+ pro has the 8/6 or 12/10 buddy lee

8/6 were installed and 9/7 extra set came with.

[94_240sx]

I think it's close to GR+

Does Stance offer z32 fork for the rear coilver?

As far as I know, no. KTS does.

word? i got it off the site... nice to know though

[4bangers]

I like Stance very much but I've seen recently many people having problem with the upper camber plate with Stance coilover. Have Stance fix their problem yet?

What advantage does Stance GR+ has over KTS?

[award78]

I just ordered the GR+, Cusco RUCAs, and SPL toe arms. I'll let yal know how I like em. Just might take a while to get them installed.
