Stance VS HKS hipermax ll VS Tein Basic ride comfort.
I've been searching and I need little more answer for my suspansion set up.
Which one from above has most ride comfort for daily driving?
which one is quieter?
I'm not going to track my car (maybe once in a year) but alot of canyon road though.
(I live 10sec from Angeles Crest)
Seems like basic only has ride high adjustment.
I just want to get feed back from ppl who owned them.

The tire side wall stiffness is in series with the springs...........however tires are usually ~~ 1500 lbs per inch [measure the deflection as you lower the weight with a jack on tire ...~~3/4".
Therefore from the stiffness highest inflated tire to the lowest [say 30 psi] with a weak sidewall, the stiffness probably doesn't vary by more than 12%.
Actually more complicated car body, spring seat, SPRING, spring seat, hub, wheel, Tire SPRING, Road Spring.

the math is all well and good in theory, but having had 2 sets of coilovers, 1 set of lowering springs on my own Z, with various tires, and having worked on countless Z's with just about every coilover and tire out there, I can tell you in execution, it works alot differently. The single biggest factor in how the car "felt" in day to day useage was the tires
I cannot comment on Stance, as I've never used their stuff. However, I have used the Basic's before, which behaved quite well on the T1S's as well as on Goodyear Eagle F1D3's. We also have one customer with them on Potenza S03's and his was the "stiffest" overall as that sidewall is like a block of cement.
On my own car I run the Hipermax RS, first with T1S's, then with S03's and now with Falken RT615's. The S03's again were the stiffest.
Hipermax II feel very similar to the RS in day to day feel, and with similar adjustment to the dampers. I personally run mine at 10/10 for day to day use, and even as low as my car is, they have performed admirably, and I'd highly recommend them again.
