The sum:

stance's are a little better but unless you are a race driver you really won't notice the difference. Also stance's are built by BC, and the BC's are pretty much the same as the Stance's.

i believe stance coilovers are only coming in a true coilover rear design now. bc racing coilovers come as a stock rear setup, but you have the option of gettin true rear coilovers as well. the standard spring rate for bc racings are 10 8, which are very comfortable. if you are looking for some thing a little stiffer, you can get custom spring rates with the bc racing coilovers. they are also 30 way adjustable, so you can pretty much set the car to ride however you feel. i myself have a 14 12 bc racing kit and love it!!

Stance GR+ are available in either true coilover or OEM format. GR+ Pro is only in true coilover form. I've had my GR+ (OEM style with 12/10 springs) on for over 6,000mi. I love the ride, even on downtown Toronto streets.

i was in the same debate and i decided to go with Stance. a lot of it has to do with the fact that Stance is local, but their product is amazing.

i could be wrong, but i don't think they're engineered by the same people. Stance might be their own company.

I've had the Stance for a month now and they are awesome. really changes the response of the car, yet is still comfortable for the crappy Chicago streets here.

Stance FTW! btw, i have OEM style

From what I have heard, they are both pretty good coilovers for those on a budget.

THIS IS 100% UNTRUE!!! Stance are built in a factory in Japan, BC is Taiwan/China

like i said before i love my bc racing kit. it is great and has lots of adjustibilty.

i would go with oem design in the rear. however, both kits can come as a true rear coilover desgin or as oem setup.

the bc racing coilovers will lower the car pretty good.

yes the bc racings come with the extensions.

both kits are great for daily driving, the 12 10 kit is goin to be stiffer than the 10 8 but it is still fine for daily use. you can adjust the dampening to your liking to make it comfortable in the city and stiffen it up when you want to drive it harder.
