When I first started looking for an 8 I put down a list of things I wanted to do to it. One thing I wanted was coilovers not to lower or camber but for the response and stiffness to minimize body roll. I always thought stance would be good because you can adjust the dampening. I recently searched about them on here though and someone in one thread said to avoid them, is it true, should I avoid them? And why should I? If someone can help me that would be awesome!

 

They aren't known to have quality damping characteristics...and they tend to fail more often that better coilovers.

You get what you pay for....a set of Ohlins are about 2K$

 

Would you say those are the best?

 

Ohlins are arguably the best at around $2000. Below that price, Bilstein PSS is arguably the best at around $1100. If you really want adjustable rebound PSS9 costs around $1500.

Stance / BC / Megan / Powertrix / Etc. are all basically one notch above junk.

 

Thank you! I will change my list to Ohlins now.

 

Stance suck in every way, even with swift springs mine still felt horrible.

 

I have been using Stance coilovers since 2009. I have had to replace dampers, but otherwise they've been fine. Are they the cream of the crop? No. But they were very supportive while I tested out their fitment and gave them feedback on setup.

I think their spring rates are a bit nuts, though. If you want a street setup, I think they're just fine. And I've been using mine on track for years.

 

Using PowerTrix, basically same as Stance from what I hear. They let me adjust what I want and gave me a good spring rate. But, you spend more, you do get a better product. I did not have more to spend at the time.

Biggest thing is your daily drive. Match that up with spring rates. The PSS9 rate is really nice, I do not recall the numbers, but the most common response is that the ride was like butter. I am at 9K and 6K, I consider that the limit for the street. It rides about like my Expedition at low speeds.
