I had my tanabe springs on stock shox for 2 yrs. It finally gave up few month ago. I bought a set of stance GR + coil over to replace them.

At first the ride quality is perfect, nice and smooth ride but forgiving at mid stiffness setting and lowered about 1.5 inchs all around.

After a few weeks, I am not sure if the shox are done settling in. The ride became more harsh and I have had it about 4 month now. The ride quality has decline sharply. My car corners soft but when I go over bumps it's harsh stiff, felt like I am on railway.

Worse comes to worse, I am experiencing clunking noises over largers bumps. The ride now and when I first got it was night and day. Took it to shop 2 weeks after installing them and mention about the ride getting way harsher, but they told me its normal to feel the chasis and suspension making some noises because the coilover is pretty stiff now and its normal.

I push my trunk down this afternoon,and the ride has gotten much softer than it originally when I installed.

Anybody with stance with problem like these? Can anyone help to share some inputs. I feel like I am riding on blown shox with springs again after only 4 month. Help guys thanks ahead.

 

Did you buy these from an authorized dealer? If so, contact them and see what they say. Worse come to worse, contact the manufacturer and talk to someone in the customer service department.

 

like most suspension, it will all be smooth at first. That's why i never would give a review until after driving for awhile.

 

My Stances are stiff as fawk

 

thanks guys, bump!

 

for more inputs. could I have mess up my end links when I had it lowered on springs?

 

Do you have aftermarket sway bars? The clunking your hearing might be your endlinks.

 

mmmm..good thought

 

This is exactly what happened to me. Little bit of clunking at first which progressively gets worse. I would suggest you get it checked but u alreaedy have. My problem was a bolt on the rear shock broke from the strut i think and the shock was totally ruined. Stance however is sending a new shock under warranty. Good service but im really liking the quality of my kw v3's

 

I drive with my Stances on full stiff.

 

Cant wait till mine comes in. Hopefully tomorrow!

 

Im getting a set of these soon too (hopefully). Any more input would be much appreciated!

 

I have mine on full stiff. Its a lil harsh but you get used to it. I havent had any clunking or wierd noises. I've had them on the car for almost a year and love them.

 

Ive had mine for about 2 years and no problems. I only have 6000 miles on them though.

 

Just ordered my GR+ Pros, can't wait to get'em hopefully I could install them before the Huntington meet.

 

i havnt had any prob with mine...i love stance coilovers!

 

I dont have sway bar.
Taking it to shop to check it out tomorrow.
I loved stance at first! I hope once everything is fixed it will be as good as new again!

 

you have factory sways with factory endlinks, which have been known to fatigue when a car is lowered past factory specs. The factory oem parts just arent made for them to be put under that type of stress, hence after market parts
