The Big Coilover VS Spring Debate

nuTinmuch

Eh, for those of you suggesting Stance products:

‎"BTW... Stance shocks suck. We just tested a set on a 370z and with Tyler McQuarie driving, they were two seconds a lap slower than stock at SOW even with Robi trying to tune them in. Fake Motons are fake...." - Mike Kojima

Likewise, BC BRs are no better than Megans are w/e.

If your primary interest is lowering your car, then get springs. If it is performance, save up and buy KW V3s.

To me, it's that simple.

Reguardless they are more than perfect for budget minded folks. Defiantly more than a step up from ''springs". They are good enough for a entry level setup. Perfect for most here. There are plenty of other great brands. But not all want or can afford to go that high for what there looking for. Lots of people live in the middle of the road. You defiantly coming from a professional point of view. So that's not really fair to say.

But if they are worse than stock, how is it acceptable for an entry level setup?

I'm not a pro racer. I'll be on a track once or twice a year at best -- but even then, why would I want to make my car worse?

I can't afford KW V3s either, nor can I afford any other good coilover -- but for me, I'd rather just say oh well and move on instead of sabotaging my vehicle.

I'm in the same boat as you. For a professional they very well may be the case. They have so much wheel time and can push a car to it's limits with losing it. I don't go this far for I haven't made it to that level. But from my stand point I fell there better than stock. Especially for what I use the car for. The spring rates a well superior to stock and the adjustable damping they do have may not be the greatest but it works for me. Much firmer which I like. And when combined with my sways, I can drive my car alot harder and corner better than ever compared to stock. But I'm not a professional by no means and I haven't had another setup to compare to besides stock. I'm happy with it for what I do.

So I feel there nothing wrong with the quality of Stance. Everything on my care is balanced between quality and budget minded. I aim for middle of the road and that's what I feel I have. Which is better than stock for me. I have no doubts I personally could run faster lap times with my setup than stock with my level of experience, which is mild.
