Default Coilover Feedback

I figured I would give this one last go around. Any feedback on Stance vs. Tein would be great.

What is the purpose of your car? Will you be lightly tracking it? Or just a spirited daily?Tein coilovers are horrible. What is your budget to begin with? Please be more specific.

i recommend stance my friend has it in his car and its low and rides nice and can be set to really stiff or pretty soft plenty of room for adjustment just depends on what your goals for your car are i plan on getting them soon! the only TEIN would get would be the FLEX they are very good as well and i know a friend who has them on his turbo IS and they handle and ride extremely since but hes not too low just almost tucking! haha another one to consider is megan i also know another guy who has them on his turbo IS and hes pretty low and it rides just like stock all Texas too! where you at Austin? we all in Dallas!

Choiza,
Car will be a DD for the next year until warranty is up and car is paid for and then it will ultimately be a track car.

Dattt,
As of right now I am leaning towards Stance as I have recieved more positive feedback. I have been trying to get Austin guys together to no avail. Everyone in Austin is just so flaky about getting together. I know, I know, Dallas is holdin' it down! What happened to the Nov. 1 drive to Austin?

Yeah I will be ordering them in a few weeks! haha There's not really a Austin scene? I blame this on BIGMIKEISF! He needs to be more involved and take care! haha As you can see Dallas has it's fair of flakes especially the IS F guys! I know a girl in Austin that has a gold IS slightly modded, but she is busy getting married hahahaha

Yeah i guess it's the same no matter what city your on, unless your out in AZ! Haha. It's pretty interesting b/c everyone always talks about getting together but never follows through. It's just a little frustrating. I don't know if Austin people just frequent the site less or what. Take care and if you know any people around ATX to meet up with let me know and if I make it up your way I will holla!

To the OP. Which teins are you looking at?

I'd go with the stances but if i had to go with tein, i'd get one with a monotube design and one that isn't only height adjustable through preload.
