BC or Stance?

Looking to buy some coilovers pretty quickly here and I'm torn between Stance GR+ Pros or the BC Racing coilovers that other people have bought. I've heard good things about both, and they're both around the same price.

Opinions? I need help making up my mind.

Thanks

Buy my Zeals for $1350.

Zeals will out-track, outrace, and run circles on both Stance & BC combined.

I know with Stance you'll receive the support and customer service you strive to get.

With BC i couldn't tell ya. Personally i'd suggest going with stance.

We ahve them in stock and on special right now for our Formula D this weekend. PM me.


Yups Zeals at that price is great. Even when it comes time to rebuild it's about:

$150 per corner for inverted
$100.00 per for non invereted

Rebuild them all for maybe $600.00 with parts.

Thanks Rishie! I was thinking the same thing about the support. I'm leaning toward the Stance just because they're cheaper and new. I know the price is great for the Zeals but I'm not exactly comfortable buying used suspension. We'll see, if they're still for sale when I get back in the states, I'll definitely consider them though.

Thanks again

I can guarantee the condition of these coilovers.

In fact, Rishie knows full well of these coilovers . These were originally purchased new from AutoRND and my car was originally Rishie's car.

Well, like I said, if you still have them in 3 weeks, I'll pick them up.

Thanks!

I don't think enough people have tried BC to compare. I've seen around more commonly though.

Yeah now I'm just more confused.

PBM Pros:
-Aluminum
-fully threaded tube

Cons:
-upper hats angled (simultaneous camber and caster adjustment)

So, now I'm even more confused. Do we have any additional owners of the Powered by Max coils?

Just get the Stance's cause you know we'll take care of you. I always have them in stock in San Jose. Can't go wrong with that.

BC support, Florida.
Powered by Max, SoCal

Stance, stocked and supported in NorCal. FC coils are coming next week. PM me, I'll give you a deal if you pay cash and stop sweating it.

Oh **** free shipping with pick up? No way!

I work in San Jose, maybe I should come by some time. I'll buy those coilovers if I ever get my RX7 back from my tuner. (been there since May)

Is your tuner having a hard time?
Get stance from autornd.
Just make sure you know your spring rates and that you're able to trust stance because you won't be able to tell since there are no markings.
just an fyi, I can feel the bumps on the roads here in NJ with 8/6 spring rates.

I think my tuner is going through personal issues that I can't/won't hold against him.

Thanks for the info, I think I will go with stance from autornd when I get my car back.

They just left stance today and should be here on Mon/Tues.

FYI I also brought in a handful of their new fender Rollers.

i've got about 3 sets available on special introductory offer.
