TPLGT Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 ^^^ nice to hear. How do you have them set up? Are you tracking the car or autoX? I do not and plan on using them for my daily driver... Rehab is for quitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

integroid Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 You see...this is what I am talking about...you get one good review of BC, then someone comes in and says Stance is greater than BC. Why can't we get a comparison of the two? They are both about the same amount of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spec B Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I doubt there is any HUGE difference between the BCs and Stance. Reliability wise I have not heard of many problems with either.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Island Legacy Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Stance does not specify anywhere where they are produced. The instructions say stance USA all over them but I do not have any proof to support. To the guy who got them for 1050 shipped, sick deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
integroid Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 That's what I'm saying...What are you currently running, Integroid? I have the Megan's on my car. I guess they are alright for a pure street setup, but I plan on tracking my car soon. So they will be for sal for super cheap once I figure out which way to go.

TPLGT Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I have read awful reviews the Megans. Some have had them all but explode on them. For some reason I thought you had Rev As. I will be coming from them to the BCs. Rehab is for quitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spec B Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I moved from Bils on Htechs to BCs and the improvement in handling is night and day IMO. The ride is decent for a coilover..and they are very quiet considering the pillowball mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwhillVT Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Recieved my Stances today (30 min ago actually). Just upon initial inspection i am quite happy with the build quality. Doubtful that I'll be getting them put on this weekend, but again, I'll post my review when I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

integroid Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I took the plunge and ordered some BC's with 8K front and 10K rear since I have a wagon. I should have them next week and they will be installed over the holiday weekend. I have owned many Coil Overs in the past so hopefully I can write a positive review on these when they come in.

duckJAI Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 ^^ Any updates on this? 8/10 seems pretty stiff though no even if you have a wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
integroid Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Yeah, they came in today and were sent the wrong spring rates. I should have new springs by the end of the week and will hopefully have enough time to install this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMPORTIMAGE Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 we sent you new springs, sorry about that bc must have forgotten (atleast you now have 4 to choose from 1-941-257-9618 http://www.importimageracing.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CwhillVT Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Ok, I finally put my my Stance gr+ on the car friday and then got an alignment. These things are nice. The ride is firm but not harsh, i havent had much time to play with the damper settings but I am overall quite happy with them. The only thing I dont like is the rears are adjusted all the way out (max height adjusment) and it is still slammed (like really really slammed- the top of the tire is not visible.) I might have to add more preload to the spring and see how that helps. the fronts have tons of adjusment where I could go higher but the rears do not.

integroid Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Finally got my replacement springs today. Swaped springs out and will e putting them on this week when I can find the time. Might have to do rears one night and then the fronts another night. COnsturction looks to be A+ so far. I will write something up once I ahve them isntalled.

There is definitely something wrong with the installation. I would call Stance to troubleshoot the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
integroid Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Ok, I was able to replace the front Megan's with the BC BR's (8K Springs up front) Took it for a quick spin around the block and I am VERY impressed with how they react to low speed bumps. If the rears feel like the fronts, this will be a no brainer purchase in my book. Going in for alignment and installing my RE01R's I have had since Jan on Thursday. Will report back after everything is installed and aligned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZP Installs Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 We've had the BCs on custy cars and stances on some others. The Stances IMO are a notch above the BCs although we do not promote using coilovers on street driven cars unless you do a lot of tracking of your car. If you are such a good driver as to need coilovers, then you will want to go with KWs which are far superior to BC, Stance, Meagan, etc. Again, there are very few drivers who NEED coilovers, unless you are going for bling/show factor, then just get the cheapest ones you can get because the quality doesn't matter at that point. -mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMPORTIMAGE Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 the nice part about the base model bc's is they now have rubber inserts to absorb the noise typical coilovers will make, so they make a nice daily driver. Some of our snow friendly drivers do like the ability to go back to stock height in that sort of weather, I cannot say i blame them 1-941-257-9618 http://www.importimageracing.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
integroid Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 AZP, I cannot say I agree with you. I live in an area that has lots of Mtns near by and we do a lot of spirited driving through the Mtns. Also, I track my car and like the ability to adjust my ride height and camber when I decide to go to the Mtns or the track. Then have it at a nice level for daily driving. There is no way I would even consider springs/struts on any of my cars after my first set of coilovers in the early 90's. It just doesnt make sense to me to be stuck at a fixed ride height. With that said, the BC's have been great so far compared to my other setups I have used. I will do a full write up in the next few days after I get my alignment and let them settle.
