I don't know about stance, but I currently have the function & form ones and I love them!!! On the soft setting they feel even better than stock suspension & on stiff they feel awesome, no bounce at all and handles the corners great!! From what I hear though, they're not the stiffest & if you want to go hella flush I'm not sure if these will work for you. I'm currently on 18x9 +30 all around with 225/40 & 235/40 with a 1 degree of camber all around with no fender roll yet, & when I hit a hard dip or have people on the car I do rub a little... But that will be fixed once I roll the fenders. Hope this helps a little...

Correction, I'm running +35 all around which is what you're gonna run. What size tires do you plan on running? I'm currently running 18x9 wheels with 225/40 & 235/40 & I'm about to roll my fender cuz I rub a little. With 18x8 +35 you might need to run 215/40 & 225/40 and a fender roll. If you want to run tires wider than that you will need a fender roll & pull.
I'll try to post up pics of my ride later.

If you want more traction stay away from negative camber.

From what i've heard, Stance is really good. It has a very OEM feel to the suspension but giving you that sick stance you're looking for. I've never heard of the other brand but do some research and compare them

If you can afford it, stance all the way.
That was the first thing I did after buying my is300 because I hated wheel gap.
These go ridiculously low and ride like a dream. I had F&F on my integra and loved how low they went but the ride quality wasn't there like with the Stance coils.

Just one minor detail & correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that on your integra you had the function & form type 1 & for the is the make the type 2 which is a lot better than the type 1. With the type 2 you can go from stock height to completely lowered without affecting ride quality at all & with the type 1 you will affect ride quality when you lower it. I have the type 2 & I love the ride quality, even better than stock.

No sir, I had type 2's. My car was totally slammed though to where i had to more room to go any lower. That's why the ride was rough. Stance coilovers go even lower and ride nicer in my opinion but obviously they are two very different chassis.

I have 5,000 miles on my STANCE coil overs. got em from Eddie at THMotorsports.

I recommend them. I have had TIEN, APEXi, BC and KW's. The KW's were the best I have ever had on any of me cars but they are pricy as hell (3k) the STANCE are a very close second at 1/3rd the cost.
