i think hsd makes the stance products but i could be wrong

there are definitely faster options. maybe even for a smaller price (but thats just speculation on my part). they dont have the tenure or pedigree that would indicate they would be your best option but at a certain price point they may be a decent option.

Here is a direct quote from the 2010 NASA N.E Regional Champion (Hondatech.com)

I had KW V3 on the my s2000 for the 2009 season. Then for 2010, I went with Stance AL+Pro with 11k front and 10k rear springs. The car felt much more stable with less body roll from the stiffer springs but the ride actually felt softer then oem shocks/springs on the street. The suspension felt firm but not jarring. The independent hight adjustment made it easier for me to corner balance the car while setting the desired height without effecting preload of the springs. I also like the single adjustment of the Stance over the KW V3 because it was easy to get to and I made adjustment from track to track. The KW V3 adjustment was a pita to get and I often just leave them where they were.

When I finally decided to sell the s2000, I put the stock shocks/springs back on and I was amazed how stiff and bouncy the stock suspension felt compare to the Stance AL+Pro with much higher spring rate. When I sold the Stance AL+Pro to another s2000 owner, I helped him installed them and he mentioned the same thing after driving the car.

i am not trying to start anything but i think this thread needs a little more transparency:
you guys keep talking about poeple winning races and such on stance coilovers, however those are not the coilovers that are availible for the frs.
The coilover system on the s2k mentioned are at a very different price point than the system offered for the fr-s/brz platform.

The AL+Pro was an OTS unit, but is now discontinued. The main difference between the AL+ and Super Sports was that the threaded bodies were aluminum rather than steel so they had a slight weight advantage and superior anti-corrosion properties. Besides being meant to go on a S2000, nothing internally was different or special between that S2000 unit vs the current FR-S/BRZ/GT86 unit.

[Shit Luck]

i understand that unit is nolonger availible.
however the base model coilover they are offering for the frs is far from a time attack or motorsport coilover.
it is a nice piece of equipment, infact i like them more than the tein offerings at the same price levels.
i just dont think its fair to compare it to compare it to race level systems.

I think the only difference between the Super Sport coilovers for the FR-S and the AL+ units on that specific S2000 above is the fact that the AL+ is aluminum body versus steel as EarlQHan mentioned. Nothing internally different besides the unit being developed for an S2000 versus our cars.

But I do see where you are coming from about showcasing some of their higher level coilovers on proven cars. I think they are doing this just to showcase the brand and that they do have a proven reputation and history, since compared to many other reputable suspension companies, they have not been around as long, and many people are not aware of them. Brand Awareness.

With the popularity of our chassis though, it may only be a matter of time before we see them producing some of their higher level systems for our cars =D, or at least we can hope!

[Shit Luck]

I hope to see some more from them soon..
I am going to be testing a set of "entry" level adjustable coils for the next few months so I will be waiting to see what stance decides to bring to market.

[Wes]

So what I'm getting here is that these do perform? Only thing I don't like is that the dampening is adjusted from the bottom of the front struts. Would this be a inconvenient? I'm torn between these and Fortune Autos now..

[XCIV.Andrew]

I feel like these coils made me a better drifter.
Forrest Wang/ pro drifter sponsored by stance runs stance coils on all his cars.
He's got a s14 that had stance coils for 5-6 years. just saying how strong these are.

[Mengsta]

Yes these definitely do perform. They are top quality coils and we have had nothing but happy customers. As for the fronts being inverted, this is a huge plus for performance reasons. Should decrease fluid temperatures as well as the weight distribution of the coilover. Dampening may not be as easy as just popping the hood, but its still easy. You can turn the wheel and just reach under the coilover. Once you get a good setting, its not like you will be messing with it all the time.

Btw we have these in stock as well at the lowest pricing.

[Mengsta]

Also as mentioned above, yes these may not be "race" level systems, but that doesn't mean they won't perform exceptionally well at the track. Unless you are racing professionally there is no need to spend double the price compared to these on coilovers on 3way dampening adjustable coilovers just for a weekend racer. Depending on your budget, to most FRS owners that daily drive and track as a hobby, these are a very good choice. We ran this set on our track TC and loved it. Performed exceptionally well at the track, yet it still took us back home comfortably at the end of the day.

[SubieNate]

I believe that STANCE is probably a step above your typical BC/Megan/Raceland/other crap coils, but to say that there is "no reason" for a weekend warrior to want something even a step above these is a pretty bold statement. There's a lot of subjective stuff going on when it comes to that decision that must be made person to person.

In regards to the NASA winning S2000 driver, it sounds to me like he's a fantastic driver but either unable or too lazy to learn how to setup a dual adjustable system. At that level of competition a single adjustable system is without a doubt a negative. More control, if you know how to use it, is very, very rarely a bad thing. @CSG Mike or @CSG David might want to jump in here.

Well, considering he won by virtue of simply showing up to the most events, in a class of two people...

Uh oh.
