this is probably their way of resolving the clunking noises we were getting with the different "true coilover" rears of the earlier Stance SUS Coilovers

I've been running Stance for about a year now. The pillow ball mounts were very noisy but since have been resolved by running SPL Parts rear mid-link arms in the rear and having the pillowballs re-sealed and packed with grease. The SPL mid-links move the spring back to the stock location. These coils are best for people who like to go extra low while still providing enough suspension travel for excellent performance.

I highly recommend the Stance combined with the SPL rear mid-links.

Search the topic stance and noise. Many threads exist with owners complaining about noise or clunking in the rear traced to the rear oem lower shock mount bushings soft rubber insert not being up to the task. I recall a post by Alex at Battle version where it was hoped he could produce a solid metal bushing to cure the problem.

Does anyone have a unbiased (not manufactuer or reseller) shock dyno on any version of the Stance 350Z coilover?

Why wouldn't it change? By removing the spring load from the upper mount, all the upper mount now sees is shock damping forces, instead of the forces exerted by the spring and the car weight.

Your right, weight of the car is moved back to the oem upper spring location and not on the rear upper shock mount.

I have a D2 coilover rear and it makes absolutely no noise. I have driven on them for approx 12,000 miles and have inspected the lower bushings and have found no abnormal wear.

You can make the same argument about a whole lot of setups being run here What is right and wrong dampning wise isn't something that a large block is blessed with decerning here (certain resellers do NOT help in this reguard, chasing profit vs doing the right thing for the owner). Poor control is often misunderstood as that thing that makes the ride nice. I would love to see from non company and non reseller related owners, shock dyno plots done here for Stance, BcRacing, Greddy, Apexi, Tein Monoflex, Kw Variant 3, HKS III sport, Bilstein PSS9, Zeal XS and Ohins DFV posted. Then would could begin to make our point about what is real and what is in the imagination.

Im looking to buy coilovers within the next week or so. Does anyone know of a distributor that has the new 'OEM style' stance coilovers for sale? Also is there any difference in the ride height adjustability with the OEM style mount? Just curious if they still go as low etc..
