Do these kits use shorter struts?

The adjustment type and range on them will keep the shock at full travel. Since it doesn't use a weld-on sleeve like T3 and you adj. height by lowering and raising the whole assembly, that keeps the shocks at optimum position. T3's design is a poor way to lower a car since like you mentioned, it reduces shock travel. A shock/sleeve combo only belongs on a track car that needs a corner balance and doesn't allow full coilover setup in the class imo.

The stance set is actually not too bad, price-wise. Cobbling together the various bits would still come close to the $1000 price tag. What struts/shocks do they use, I wonder?

ioTus is correct, Stance has their own struts. They are very good quality and have a very good range of adjustment. Happy to get into details and dyno graphs if anyone is interested.

Can the stance units be used with TTT lowered traction bracket?

I like the sound of this...I currently have crappy RE$PEED weld on front coilovers that pretty much self destructed after ~4k miles. I have roll center spacers(1.5") and camber plates, and lowered quite a bit. On the highway at ~70mph where there was a "step on, step off" where an underpass below, with a raised concrete "tabletop" above, I think I broke one of the camber plates(where the top "plate" is joined to the lower one) from bottoming out(not enough suspension travel?!?I guess?). I'm interested in how this setup(the Stance) raises and lowers without compromising shock travel. I can't see it from the pics, or wrap my head around it. Can someone please elaborate?

Thanks for the reply. Would these also still require roll center spacers for proper roll center geometry when lowering the front? If so, are they compatible while also using the spacers? If spacers aren't required, why? Thanks again.
