Stance GR+ vs Tein Flex
Searched, couldnt find a whole lot of anything about Stance. The car is a 94 Touring. Wont see a whole lot of track, but gets a bit of spirited driving through mountains and stuff. Mainly looking for something good all around for a daily car, minor track use, and a bit of mountain driving. I heard the Flex are good all around coilovers. Let me know your opinions.

I just got a set of Stance GR+ from Rishie at AutoRND and I love them. They are suprisingly comfortable on the street and absorb bumps and road imperfections really well. I have only really been out driving once since I installed them but I did get a chance to run some back roads and from what I can tell they are an outstanding coilover for the money. I highly recommend them

Good to know. JhnRx7 have you ever rode in a FD with Teins? If so how does it compare? I understand the stances are newer but sometimes the newer stuff isnt always the better stuff. Also what about the Stance being mono and the Teins not? Does that make a difference to anybody not on a track? Im new to this coilover thing lol. I came from a WS6, its a bit different.

both rebuilable in the unit states, both have about the same turn around time on the rebuild. Spring rates are close, tein is 12/10 and stance is 12/12. i was thinking go with what has been proved. Tein i hear ALOT of good stuff about, but on other sites im seeing stance come up quite a bit. Thats whats making me wonder.

I think you will be happy either way. I have ridden in an FD with Tein Flex however they had led a hard life and were on their way out, if not blown already. The owner had good things to say though.
You can get whatever spring rate you want with the Stance, you just need to specify. I got 12F 10R. I had previously had The Pettit TrackPro Stage III's which are also 12/10 however they were not monotube like the Stances. I found that having both back to back the Stances are more comfortable on the street. It really all depends on the valving of the shock.
IMO you cant go wrong either way.

I had Flex before and I was very happy with them but it is hard when there is no one that had them both to compare. If both are very similar then price would be the deciding factor.
