A friend of mine has these that hes going to sell me for $1200, brand new, still in the box.

These: http://enjukuracing.com/tein-s...2_104

I was going to go with Stance GR+ Pro coilovers, but I figured, hell, more adjustability, the better, so why not.

Thing is Im not going to be using the car for drifiting, mostly just daily driving, and taking corners fast

So wud these still be alright? Any opinions on em? Pics of your car with em? Thanks guys.

Stance to me is over rated. I rode in 2 cars that have them and i was not impressed at all. But i have drifted a car with the TEIN Super Drifts and they felt really nice, firm, without being stupidly stiff.

Wow, someone with the truth....

I had a used pair back in the day and I would label them acceptable for a daily... If I recall, they are extremely close to another model but higher spring rates. I could guess but honestly am not sure so I'll just leave it at that.

Personally if your cars going to be a daily for the large majority, I'd pick another model.... thats just my opinion though but there are probably plenty of other people who would disagree with me.

BUT, for that price brand new... I'd consider them.

Tein SD's for 1200?That's pretty good.I've never ridden in teins but I think they're the same spring rates as my Part shop max coils and I love those to death. Daily driven and no complaints what so ever. I say go for it
