Low cars are nice, yes, but that is insane. You need to raise that. It doesn't even look like you can corner with the car set like that.

Well sorry for the lack of updates. A week ago I had Rishie at Autornd drive my car and see what he thought of the coilovers. Thought you would like a more independent review. Please see the link for the test and review.

Any additional feedback?

Seemed as if Rishie liked them quite a bit for the performance/value equation.

I have researched for good coilovers, and for the price this one was truly unbeatable...I've seen them advertised as low as 1200 shipped...Keep in mind they are inverted tube and ultra adjustable...Problem is the two reviews I've seen thus far are both of slammed evos...Looks like a cover for DUB magazine...I would love to know how a proper setup Stance would do around the track, I imagine they are in the range of the JICs, but I could be wrong...

Been 2 weeks now with my STANCE coilovers.
As of this point, I am extremely satisfied with the coilovers.
First impression compared to my inverted monotube HKS Hipermax was... that the STANCE were so much beefier! the strut itself was double the size! The camber plantes and mounting brackets were thicker as well.

My car is slammed as well, but you will not lose suspension travel with these coilovers because you don't use your spring perches to lower and raise your car like you would with TEIN or HKS... you can adjust the ride height by moving the entire shock body.
You can slam your car without having to sacrifice suspension travel.

My car is set at -1.75 degrees of camber front and rear.
First driving impression = these coilvers are very flat. Meaning no real harsh rebound like the Megan Racing coilovers I have on my other car. The dampening on these are phenominal. Comparing them to the HKS's...the dampening is night and day difference. While HKS's seem to hold up well They STANCE absorb the bumps without harshness. They feel comfortable as OEM suspension, but it shows its true colors when you want to have a little fun.
They are stiff, but the dampening is so much better then the $2,000 Hipermax coilovers. I would not switch to STANCE from my HKS's if I didn't like these.

Again, these are inverted monotube design meaning:
"Oil and gas are completely separated, which results in precise damping characteristics. Monotube design allows heat to dissipate much quicker. Inverted monotube design can resist extremely high lateral forces compared to an upright twintube suspension."

I would recommend these to anyone serious about upgrading their suspension.

Just got mine installed. The coilovers do run pretty solid. I'll need to roll my rear fenders next.

Are these really Japanese? I don't really give a rats a$$ where things are made as long as they're made well, but they don't seem to have a Japanese site and to be honest I would have thought they will be far more expensive if made in Japan. Perhaps Taiwan or China? Not that it matters cos they look real good. Specially for the money.

Anyone using them without insane lowering?
