You might want to consider a set of D2's. I got mine NIB for $800 shipped off of eBay.

id probably recommend the deal that one of the vendors is offering for a little less that $1k for BC coils that includes Camber Arms + Toe Bolts

Wondering why you say stance is junk as they're one of the coils that i might possibly buy, not meaning to thread jack here

they are like every other type of Chinese coilovers. They blow often. They cost a lot to fix when blown (200 a shock IIRC) but if you are slamming your car I guess it'd be cool?

If i had to buy a set of Stance and was setting my car up to drive (not to just slam and not care about ride/handling) I may consider their XR's. Doubt it.

I believe, it was just their time with 75k on the stock set up.

Long story short, I need a new suspension. I have been looking in the classifieds for used coil overs, but also though out the internet for new ones, just kinda shopping at the moment. What are some good suggestions? The car is a daily, and will not see the track, though I do like the occasional spirited run through some twists. Just looking for some suggestions from the guys in the know, that could point me in the right direction and maybe some pointers on what companies to avoid. I really am not looking to spend more than 1000. Thanks people

Sounds like you're not looking for slammed..so I would go with Tokico D specs with any decent springs. Set them to 3 turns off full soft. Personally, I bought a used set of Nismo S Tunes.
