Who wants coilovers made in an office? 😛 On the other hand, Takumi wears a Stance shirt, so it’s clear where his money is. Hehe, pardon the lack of constructive input, but I don’t know too much about these coils. Depending on what my budget was, I’d get either Stance (cheapest), JIC FLT-A2 (mid), Moton (crazy all out track balerness) ---

Think about rebuild cost and turnaround times. Can you get them rebuilt here or would you need to ship them back to J-land? It would suck if you blew a damper and had to send them back overseas for service…It would cost an arm and a leg not to mention sideline your car for a long time. At least with Stance you can readily and “cheaply” get replacement parts when needed. ---

FIrst, they are discontinued and the rebuild center in Japan closed down. Second, don’t buy them used because the rears will be blown, they blew on mine and on many others that I’ve seen on forums across NA. Third…nah that’s it. ---

I love the Stances except for the seized upper mounts, they are sending me replacements soon under warranty. Once that is fixed, I looove them. The price is right, they are fully rebuildable and you can order any single piece and they are right here in North America, you can call them up, I think that gives them a huge advantage over Jap based companies. ---

your upper mounts are not siezed… pick up some bearng grease and lube the snot out of the top threaded lug / nut. Do the same with the top and bottoms of the springs. i had that issue at first, but all gone now… and i thought that i had seized that nut at the top because i torqued it on pretty hard… nope, it’s fine. but yes… serviceability is key… Booo Kei Office. Considering the regional market, if you are on a tight budget get megan’s… if you want something a bit better for a bit more $$$, get Stance… ---

a friend of mine had his upper mounts start to make alot of noise, lubbed em up with 3 in one lube and they have been fine. they were megan coilovers. i also have megan coilovers now on my car for about 4months with no problems what so ever.
