GTFO please and thanks.
what am i doing thats trolling? if anybody is trolling its people making statements without providing any reasoning or having even tried the other product.

my advice would be that if you want to find some things out about these products, try and contact a dealer or the companies themselves and see what they have to say.

Personally, I love it when people post pictures of their car with a set of 'coilovers' installed and use that as evidence of why you should get the same product. Yup, because the car will somehow look different, with different coilovers, at the same ride height. Or somehow the amount that the car is lowered will translate into how it handles.

Ok.. So contact the companies that MAKE or SELL the product and see what they have to say.. Really? No bias there right? I mean their not in it for the money or anything..
I like hearing and seeing what others are using and hearing their experiences..
I prefer that over some sales pitch from someone trying to sell me their product..

Maxed out front and rear, and the collars are taken out of the front.




And here is comparison with a Stock-height BRZ.


I love the low look... But it doesn't look very driveway or speed bump friendly..

yeah really. im not saying it wont be biased. anybody who has bought the product will be biased as well. if you cant figure out what is a sales pitch or what is a fact then you are in trouble. finding out where they are manufactured or looking at shock dynos or why they chose certain spring rates is not something you can spin. you also might run into a dealer who offers more than one option.

the problem with your train of thought is that now you are asking advice from people with out the ability to compare because people rarely buy more than one set of coilovers in the same price range at the same time. of course a comparison between someones old coilovers for some other car compared to brand new coilovers on a brand new car isnt going to be biased.

Stance products are simply built to a higher standard. BC has cheaped out on material in their coilovers and it shows. I've seen some pretty thin material..

Within your budget i'd go with buddyclub, there's also ark, and fortune auto. Have you considered these?

Feal suspension is also not much more, made in the US and I would take them over Stance/BC/etc. Fortune is also a brand I would pick over BC/Stance.
