no. In the case of coilovers you get what you pay for (except for the JDM imported ones that are like 15k)

I just think these coilovers are Under-rated, i do know that the Megan Coilovers are having quality issues, so i decided to go with these, they cost a little more but ive read really good reviews from some G37 Owners...Not everyone can afford KW V3's, so it looks like these are really good for the money.

I had stance GR+ on my previous 350z...it was great. it really gives the car a nice stance and lowers a lot ! im not sure on 370's though.
Here is a picture when it was lowered...It can go lower as well..

If all you're looking for is to lower your car...can't go wrong with the cheapest coil-overs you can get.

I know that Stance R&D's and test there stuff on the track also. A lot of it is done on there own cars and tested at drift events, time attack and daily street use.

I'd stay away, RCZ is correct. You get what you pay for.

Why spend 30-40k on a car and put 1k dampers on it? Factory Nissan dampers have lots of R&D thats why the car performs so good from the factory and are worth well over 1k. Tuning is about adding performance "upgrades" not "down-grades"

Spend a few extra bucks to buy from a high quality company that has a entry level damper in their line up. Not from a company that only produces "budget" dampers.

Of the group: Stance, BC, Megan, K-sport, etc, if I had to pic Stance would be at the top of the pack, but I would still try to find something else from another high-end manufacture first.

Like them alot, were also running custom valving, spring rates and fluid.

In the process of trying some more aggressive rates for the next Time Attack.

I think Stance makes a great street/track coilover for the budget concious. Nothing wrong with them. I have tried budget coilovers that were awesome and ones that were crap. I have tried expensive coilvers that were awesome and expensive coilovers that were crap as well. I personally think Stance and BC Racing are some of the best bang for your buck coilovers out there and I have tried a ton of coilovers on a ton of different cars.
