How's the ride? Is it bouncy? Planning to drop my rl coils n get these

maximthegreat Nov 3, 2010 04:49 PM

Its a little bouncy, but not nearly as bad as my buddy's RLs. It is MUCH stiffer than the RLs, but still a more comfy ride. I have mine set to full stiff all around.

OK if I post my FC? It has one letter in common with the tC and it's on stance coils :biggrin: lol

Yea....You can get your car resting on the floor if you want to. Right now my S-Pipe has been flattened and still hangs about an inch off the ground. I scape frame on any decent incline no matter how hard I angle. Hit my oil pan a couple weeks ago and it shifted so I have oil leaking from the seal. Can it go lower? Yes. Would I go lower? No. Not to mention I have less than a finger gap between my rims and the front fender/quarter panels so if I went any lower I would destroy all four corners. Next up for me is a lip kit :D

you'll feel everything on the road regardless of what coils you have. that's the downside of coils but hey it looks sexy.

That depends on the drop and dampening settings, but yes....at this drop and max stiff its a little hard for it not to be bouncy as there is little shock travel.

Before I had to raise it a bit and before I figured out how much lower the front went than the rear..keep in mind I still had about 1.5-2in left to go before they were maxed out..rear goes about .75 lower than the front. Reason for raising it is because I physically could not get the car out of my narrow ___ driveway

Attachment 70995
How it sits now..shot kinda came out as an almost undershot of the car so it looks a little higher than it actually is..I'd get a better shot but the car is currently up on jacks at the moment haha.

Did u take any perches out to have it that low? Or did u mess with the preload? Maximthegreat.

maximthegreat Nov 4, 2010 06:08 AM

2 rings out in the front

Great thread Maxim, I was just about to start an Official Stance thread as well.

Pre-load only slighted adjusted in the picture above. It is possible for these coilovers to definitely rest the car on the ground if desired. We will have more pics by the end of this week when we get our wheels on.

Not trying to steal your thread Maxim, but we have these sets fully in stock and have a sale thread on this forum! Coilovers are great. You can definitely feel the bumps more because of the increased spring rates, but I must say that the dampening adjustability on the Stance coilovers are more noticeable when compared to other sets. The 15 way adjustments are definitely noticeable in terms of rebound/dampening.

maximthegreat Nov 5, 2010 03:14 PM

Good stuff!! I got mine through TH Motorsports before anyone else had them in stock :D

mengsta Nov 5, 2010 11:23 PM

Nice! Haha yeah you beat us to the race Maxim

Here's an updated picture! Had to raise it due to the different wheel size.

Anybody have feedbacks on overall performance of these coilovers? Having it lowered and what not is great, but I would also like have a set of coilovers that can also perform good lol
