Wrong section.

It would benefit you to create a thread in the "suspension" section. That's where all the suspension guru's are.

Coiloveres, go with Stance. Springs are kind of ghetto but if you want them, stay away from Eibach. They don't have a spring rate that matches the valving of the strut.

How are springs more ghetto than cheap Chinese coilovers? Atleast pedders makes an amazing spring that when coupled with TC shocks/struts anctually has track potential without jaring your teeth loose with shitty spring rates/shock valving.

i wouldnt say stance is necciarily cheap jap coilovers......if they sucked so bad a lot of jdm race cars wouldnt be using them. more then likely they are probablly the best coilovers out for these cars so far. unless you wanna sepdn 4-8k on penske, ohlins and so forth there are no other options for GOOD coilovers.....and even then so good luck getting those companys to talk to you without building a full blown race car. they wont waste their time on a street application


agreed though wrong section. look in the suspension section for different drops and everything else you need to know

roflcopter. Stance is in no way shape or form designed or made in China. Designing and production is done in Japan and finally assembly is done here in the States. The only way lowering springs work effectively with the shock/strut, is when there matched or adjustable. So now you have to buy struts/shocks and lowering springs to do it properly. Might as well save up a few hundred more and get real coilovers.
