For what it's worth, the factory that produces Stance coilovers is one of the leading suspension component factories out there. Keep in mind that these coilovers are entry level coilovers. For the market the serve, they offer an excellent product, in my opinion. KDM FTW

I skipped over much of this thread out of laziness, just wanted to add a little insight there

If anyone who upgraded their springs and has the original 10k/7k springs, let me know if you want to sell them. I'd maybe like to upgrade from my 9k/6k so I can run stiffer and go lower.

I have two sets of 10k's and a couple of what I think are 9k's (unmarked) and I will have a set of 8k's and 6k's in a week or two. These all have less than 1,000 miles on them or zero miles make me an offer, I'll send them all to you

For a small fee I hope I paid good money for those.

Speaking of springs ... best thing to ever happen to a set of stance coilover dampers:

I'd get the Swift springs, but I don't want to invest another $400 into my car for pretty much no reason.

No joke, you will realize how much the oem stance springs are garbage after getting a set of swift springs. And FYI they are more around the $300 mark.

The Stance site had them listed at $199 a pair, so that's where I got that number. I guess other retailers sell them cheaper.

For me there's no point cause unfortunately my car isn't built for performance, just to go as low as possible.

The Swift springs really are a must if your want performance out of the Stance coilovers. I got a chance to run them in a little bit this morning, the difference is really staggering, no BS. Of course I also installed the new lower section with the new bushings as well. There is still something to be desired in the valving but I will play with it a bit and see if I can get them adjusted well.

Where is the best place to buy the springs? I saw a post on NASIOC that had them for $338 shipped. I haven't actually asked a place or anything though. Maybe that will be my project for next year.

I really think it helps now that your rear end is just a bit higher. I am intrested to see how much the springs "settle".
