Stance Coilovers

What up yall. I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of the Stance Coilovers or has used them. I just recieved them early 2day and they look pretty damn good but the weird part is that I was waiting for combo lights to come in. Anywayz should I hold on to them or return them (correct the order). Thanx 4 the help.

I hear good things about them also.
Made in the USA = Easy to get parts to rebuild.

I have them on my FD and they seem really good. For the street the ride isn't bone jarring and handles great, and on the track, well I hope to find out in November.

Oh, I didnt know about the 2gen forum I'll have to check that out. I believe they are the GR+ w/ 15 adjustment. I was thinking that they might be alittle beefy and in the US so I dont have trouble for rebiulds is a bonus. If you hit the track before I do let me know how they worked out 4 u. I'll dig a little more into it but, thanx guys for the info. That helps more than u know.

there are problems with stance that are currently being addressed with regards to 240sx's

not sure if these problems have spilled into the rx7 models

I have them on my FD and no problems whatsoever.

It seems like the "spring binding" problem is mostly with the S-chassis cars. I have yet to hear a problem with any FC/FD Stance coils.

most likely bad spherical bearings or design. Or maybe changed manufacturers, so specs/environment changed.

Seems like Stance is doing something to fix to the problem though.

I will call AutoRND/Rishie on Monday and ask what the story is.

Thanx for the good info. I've noticed that most people havent had any trouble with them on the FD but some slight problems with them in the FC. I think some guys on the forum in the 2Gen forum had a few problems with them. If my memory surves me right
