I'm not a pro, but I run a significantly more expensive system on my s2k, and I can name countless others with similar systems. I have a very comfy ride home on my coilovers too. If you want to loan us a set, I'll be more than happy to do some validation testing for you. Last edited by CSG Mike; 02-26-2013 at 08:02 PM. |

Stepping away from brand validity for a moment...
To those that have these installed or vendors: -How have they broken in? -Any knocking or loud noises like the ones plaguing the BC racing coils? -How's the ride comfort? -Is it annoying/how annoying is it to adjust the dampening from below? I guess I just want a full review of these because I am looking for some good introductory coilovers and these seem like a great option! |

The correct term is "damping". "Dampening" is used when you "dampen a wet towel" or "he is dampening a towel".

no its not. either term is perfectly correct despite the fact that dampen addresses the act with a little more specificity. its like saying "he didnt jump. he took off with one foot so it was a hop"

The word "damping" is specifically used in physics to refer to the reduction of harmonic oscillations, which in our case is the shock. So it is technically correct to refer to reduction in oscillation of a car shock as "damping". |

Sorry for the misconception, I didn't do a good job on the previous post. I meant there is no "need". I didnt mean there is no "reason". Oh of course we all have our reasons to spend our own money on which parts we want. All we are saying is that it may not be necessary. These are still very good coilovers that can perform. Obviously there are better sets out there that may cost more. Is it necessary to run at the track? No. In fact you can run OEM suspension at the track and still have fun. All we are saying is that its not always necessary to spend even more when Stance offers a pretty good setup.

Sorry Mike to be honest we do not have actual proof of the benefits of inverted coilovers. We are mainly a small family owned business with a passion for this sport and hobby. However seeing the differences in design for the inverted vs non-inverted I wouldn't be surprised if the manufacturer claims are correct in that aspect.
As for comparison to other sets. Well, we never knocked on the higher end sets. All we said was that it may not be necessary for the majority of us which are just track enthusiasts. I personally have an S2K as well, and coilover wise I just run on Swift springs with Koni shocks and have a blast. We believe that at least for the beginner to intermediate, improving times are more about the driver. A KW set may perform better, but to most, paying extra isn't necessary. To stay on topic, thats all we meant in our previous posts. Nothing more, we never bashed on the more expensive set. Its just most of us here track for fun and spending the extra thousand may not be necessary when these Stance coilovers are fairly priced and do perform. Yes TC and FRS are two totally different cars. I wish we had a shop FRS to track with to give you guys before and after lap times. |

Why would you use HSD over Stance?

Only Coilovers I think I would chose over stance are DG5s. Granted, they're nearly twice the price and they aren't located stateside... So even for that much, I'd probably just go with Stance 2-Ways
I would love the KW V3s if they came with camber plates.... I'm shocked they don't.
