hey i was wondering if anyone has stance coilovers on their GS?
I have it on my 240sx and love it, seen that they made it for the GS and wanted to see if anyone had it. i believe they are new to the coilover community so i would like to know if anyone has tried them out?

thanks

i had them. GR+. i bought them because my 240sx friend can't stop talking about how good his were on his car.

so i went and sold my teins and got the GR+ new and put them in... and they were great! i used to have tein cs v1.0's and they were mushy compared to this. stainless steel bushings in the top mounts really do make the difference, and having independent ride height adjustment meant no more bottoming out because of loss in stroke. i was worried it would be as noisy as the tein flex's i experienced in another listmember's gs, but it wasn't so.

unfortunately for me, the right front strut went bad after about 500 mi of normal driving. because of a shipping snafu from japan, i took 3 months for the warranty replacement strut to arrive. because i couldn't wait that long (the car was undriveable with the bad strut) i had to take everything out and had to buy a different brand to replace them (because i had sold my v1.0's already... i'm an idiot), and i'm most likely going to sell my stances once the replacement comes in because i can't afford to keep swapping anymore

i seem to be the only unlucky one. if you search the net for stance users, everyone is happy and there are no reported failures or problems.... just me

How was the ride...I looked and noticed the spring rate was 18 in front....2 more then the flex's 16....and 10 in back...2 less then the flexs....12....So they must be stiff....stiffer then the tein's cs coils for sure....anyone know the bilstein pss spring rates?

typo. it's 14/10. if you contact them they will confirm the mistake... not sure why they haven't fixed it

THAT'S sWEEET that means it runs in between the cs and flex....I think I found the set i want! Did your coils come with the camber adjustment...didn't look like it in the pics... I was thinking 18/10 was a little unbalanced....Thanks for telling us about the mistake!

Benjamin T

no it dosen't, because camber adjustment on the gs can only be done from the control arms.

In the picture above, is that on the lowest setting or do you have more room to go lower?

Benjamin T

yes it went lower... much lower. it tucked past the wheel lips and then some. but when we lowered the hoist the car wouldn't come off the arms and there wasn't enough 2x4's in the shop to get it off
