Thoughts/Experiences/Recommendations on suspension

So it's between three brands. K-Sport coilovers, D2 Coilovers or Stance coilovers? Here's the prices and kit specifications.

P.S. I am purposely looking for a suspension that can handle rough terrain/off road terrain. Reason being is I go to Mexico SOMETIMES. I don't like it all that much but it's needed in my life, so yeah. I'm not gonna do the average "drop the car scrape the entire bottom" thing.

Out of the brands you listed, if you don't get Stance, you should consider suicide.
D2 and KSport are a joke

Just remember to buy a really soft rear spring rate because it's a true type coil over

Ok, I respect your thoughts. Though many people have listed these 3 as top. I hadn't even heard of trix till our fellow member mentioned it. Now there's friction between both your brands... Haha I'll do some more research on both

People always say this but I have not seen any horror stories... Can you provide some proof?

You are located in SD. Call Charles at Powertrix. It is good to have a suspension guy around you. He did mine and like it. Check out my Powertrix review. Our Z's designer also recommends it.

Nice, thank you for adding some good points! Can you provide a link to your review?

Gentlemen, please I'd like to remind you we are discussing the quality of parts and brands. Please don't be rude to each other just because we own different parts/brands.

Out of those 3 Stance is BY FAR The best.


I will Recommend Stance either way honestly, the guys over there are top notch and have the ability to produce a coilover for anything you need, or just an off the shelf unit that will be more than capable to fit what you are asking.


Stance Super Sports with Swift springs is in my opinion the best bang for your buck set up.


Stance USA is based in Chicago with a very well staffed engineering department to help with any questions you may have as you progress with your car. Ksport and D2 are both cheaply made mass produced coils that will not last, they are built as a price point sale only.

Speaking from experience, I had D2 coilovers, bc coilovers, and stance ss on my 350z and now kw v3's on my 370z

If you can't go with kw, get the stance supersports, with swifts is possible. D2 is CRAP.

I also had the chance to drive a friend's Z with powertrix coils, they ride awesome and perform well, can't go wrong.
