Funny, I went from the Stance to Tanabe GF springs.

Also from what I have been told Buddy Clubs and Stance come from the same factory, they also look the same side by side.

blasian - were you on the KW's in that video?

Also, what car was that filmed in? Doesn't seem like it handled nearly as good as your's.

Just out of curiosity, why did you switch to Tanabe GF springs? Didn't like the Stance coilovers or something?

And is it true the BC and Stance are the same coilover?? Can anyone confirm this?

That's my car in the vid, and I use Stance.

The camera car was a SE-R SpecV

So you compaired drop springs with worn out shocks to a fresh coil over set. OK

hmm never heard that before. My buddyclubs are great tho, smooth and quiet. However they dont have the aggressive drop im looking for.

I wanted KW or HKS, but took a chance on the Stance GR+ with full coilover setup. I would normally do a shock and spring setup vs low buck coilovers. For hard driving they seem good and hold well, but normal every day driving IMO they sucka$$. If the roads in your area are smooth they should be okay. If you want my opinion, most shocks and spring combos are better then these low buck coilovers.

Ya your right I own the stance gr+ and they are great on smooth roads and all canyon drives are nice really make a difference. But couple times I drove through a really crappy road area and they suck so bumpy. But I still love them.

one question... does keeping the coilovers on full stiffness make the coilovers' shock more suceptible to blowing out?

Depending on where you live? If you hit a hard pothole you are likely to blow something.. if you know how to avoid them you should be fine. Have you purchased the rear suspension extenders yet?

When you guys see "BC Racing" are you guys thinking BuddyClub?

Is this what you guys are talking about?

or this





If it's the first one, that's NOT buddy club... that's Bo Ching Racing, a totally different company.

If you buddy is still selling the stance gr, could you PM me so I could get in contact with him? I've heard a lot of good things about these coilovers and they'll probably be the ones I get.

Thanks

ok guys its been a long time since i've been on this thread, and its been about 6 months on the Stance GR+'s. Things that have happened so far.

Everything Seems to be working fine except that the rear passenger side coilover is starting to squeak a little bit. Its annoying and i dont know what to do with it. other than that, everything is perfect. I have not tracked my car at all with these and just daily driven the car. so far im no t super happy, but still happy.
