Springs or coil overs?

Stance Gr+ is less than the cost of Swift+Koni Yellows, just saying =)

For a good reason

If coilovers cost less than $1k or so, they're probably Taiwanese crap.

Honestly I have no prior experience with Stance so I cannot answer how comfortable they are, I'm only considering them based on reviews from people I know and from others on the web, maybe some Z34 owners can chime in with their experience with Stance. I've had BC before and they were quite comfortable for my daily driving and going lowww, I would def get BC again, but want to give Stance a try this time.

Stance products maybe outsourced but their HQ and customer support is US based (Ill, Chicago), where you would send your c/o in for rebuild if you ever needed, not TW. For my daily use and hard parking, I just cant justify dropping $2k+ for KW, rather spend that money on new wheels or other mods to show off. Although Stance are track tested and proven. You can check their web site and decide for your self.

Super Sport+

In response to comfort, I love them. I'm running them somewhere in the middle as far as dampening goes. They are really firm yet ride almost as good as stock. Cornering feels solid and very well planted.

I had the KW's but like you I wanted moarlow...The KW's maxed out as low as they would go in the back didn't even close the fender gap. So I sold them, and with the money bought the SS+ true type and then still had the money to buy SPL camber and SPL toe arms.

As for BC...I had BC BR's on my 350 and they rattled real bad in the rear (OEM Type). Had several shops look at it but never got the rattle issue resolved.

Appreciate your review bro. How many miles have you put o your SS?

I never had any or issues with my BC, and I've installed 3 sets for my friends and none had any problems on the rears, one person did had clunking noise but that was due to us forgetting to torque down one of the bolt and worked itself loose

Thats what i thought was wrong with my BC's to. But it was tight and pre-loaded correctly. My Stance, I've put probably 2000 miles on the coilovers but most all of that has been twisty curvy tennessee back roads. I really am happy with them but I think all my SPL stuff compliments them nicely to.
