Default Stance GR+ VS. BC coilovers

I've been doing my research for awhile now and now I'm just stuck in the middle deciding stance "true" or the BC "oem" I'm kinda leaning more towards the stance. Anyone can give me some advice which could let me fully decide ?

If its been asked before sorry I didn't see in the search

I am not an expert, but from my own extensive research, if you plan on doing any motorsports, you will probably want to go with the true style as it allows you to eliminate the spring bucket and place an adjustable toe arm in it's place.

There's no need for a true setup unless you're going for a strictly track car (in which case you would not be buying Stance). There's not enough benefit to justify it. Just get OEM BC (Stance OEM if you want to slam it) and save your remaining money for when your bushings go out.

I am not an expert either but I can tell you first hand that the BC coilovers are amazing, 30 settings of dampness, direct oem bolt on, and very easy to adjust ride height. I've had them on my Z now for a month. I currently sold the Z and am selling all my after market parts. So if you have some sort of financial goal to accomplish out of this I have a set of BC BR type coilovers with rear extenders for you. Pm me if you are interested.

BC will do the trick. They're very comfortable and have plenty of adjustability. They're not really going to improve your handling though if that is what you are looking for

You seem to know a lot about coilovers... what track ready true coilovers are known to be good?

I definitely don't know too much about coilovers when it gets to track setups. If I were to do it again, I would save up for the KW V3's. They are still an OEM setup which is still probably going to be better, but they are a fantastic coilover without having to take out a mortgage. Anything beyond that, I'm not the person to talk to.

KW Clubsports on the low end. AST, JRZ , Moton and Penske would be some of the others.

BC vs Stance, they are both junk. Pick one, lower car be happy.

True style gets expensive quickly to run them. Rear knuckle bushings, arms etc etc.

One thing U could do is go back to back for a ride between each and that'll give u an idea as to what you like better. Just tell me whenever you want a ride.

You also have to buy springs, then you can either run OEM upper shock mounts or order a nice monoball set from SPL. I have the SPL set on my car.
