agreed, i'm looking into the battle version traction rods for the rears now--they require the use of a true coilover rear setup like these STANCE coilovers, so as to turn the previous oem rear spring perch into a single adjustable perchless-toe adjusting rod

AFAIK, Battleversion only offer rear camber and toe links. The camber links can be used on any Z/G and the toe links require the use of true coilover.

I don't believe they offer "traction rods" as the stock's are already the optimal length and the only change would be the rubber for heim-joints which isn't always a good thing on that piece... it can actually hurt traction.

WHat do these allow for (expecially in the front) as far as camber adjustment, without adding any other goodies?

I am using CUSCO camber arms up front and the Battleversion rear camber link. I will be ordering the toe arms soon, but I feel that I dont need them.

sounds like a great coilover so far... I was gonna get the Tein Basic's, but this is making me think to spend the extra money for the STANCE...

What settings do you guys use on the street for shock dampening? How about the Track?

Dramma022 - I'm leaning towards these coilovers because 1. cheaper than buddy club. 2. alow me to use the battle version link to fix camber and toe.

Would you recommend these coilovers for a daily driver?
what is your toe & camber, front and rear?

Thanks

i've installed and sold...
as well as drive on these coilovers myself..

honestly..
best bang for buck coilover out there..
monotube setup compared to similarly priced coilovers.
also fullly threaded to allow ride height change without losing stoke.

We sell them at a good price ....
If you are local to norcal i can give you a ride for yourself

Thanks for the offer, but I live in so-cal. I geus I'll have to try them to find out. Are you positive the spring in the rear is progressive?
Can we change them out for other springs, keeping the valving in mind?

I don't understand what this means?

What is "stoke"?

The current Stance that are being sold are using linear springs ... 12k front and 5k rear. I am trying to get a set made with 11k front and 6k rear and then I think it will be perfect.

BTW - The next shipment coming in actually have the brake brackets on them.

I think an 11k/6k setup would be even better. I think that equates to around a 11k/9k setup that uses the spring at the OEM location. Anyways would you happen to know the height adjustment range on these coilovers? Can stock ride height be maintained? My garage and driveway situation dictates that I can't go low.

He meant stroke or suspension travel.

I will be working with Robert from RobiSpec this weekend to make a few adjustments and I will try to measure how far up the coilovers will go safely.

Bump! I'm in the market for some coilovers & this seems to be what I'm looking for. Besides the brake brackets, is there any other revisions coming out? Seems like they made a few changes since they released these. Just want to make sure I'll be getting the most recent version. +1 on the question on what settings you guys use for street & for track.
