Stance all the way. Tell them you want the setup that keeps the OEM rear spring location and you won't have to worry about the noise. They're based right by Chicago too.

Performance of Stance is pretty good for my driving but it has noise problem.. car feels pretty beefed up even though its set at 7f 6r damping set.. overall, i'll say 8.4/10

It will be for the most part to and from work, but I drive pretty rough. Not to mention a couple drift days a year.
