Stance coilovers, OEM or True Coilover?

Which one would you get and why? I contacted Stance directly and they told me both are practically the same only difference is that the true coilover version drops the car and additional 1-2" lower than the OEM, Ride quality is about the same.

This is coming from a stance representative. If so wouldn't it be better to get the true coilover version instead?

Definitely the ride quality will not be the same. In fact it'll be be better... or be bumpy depends on how you like it.

^^i don't get this whole "the true go lower" the oem stance's drop the g35s low as **** i don't get HOW low people want to go? i mean i've seen function and forms v2 on shanes car when he wus riding like 1 1/2" off the ground, and if stances are the same.. how MUCH lower do people want to go? i mean out of all g35 drivers less than 1% would ever be able to drive that low (dedication)

What do you mean they won't be offering the OEM version? Is it just TH Motorsport, or is Stance discontinuing it?

Of the two, which version of the coilover will give me a better ride quality?

Yeah they both go low enough where they will be undriveable.. The true they said are better all around in handling and cornering.. The true are a little cheaper.. Can I get the true with the spring for the springbucket??

^^yah but u see its like what do u want to go FULL slam or do u want the handling and cornering abilities? i mean at one point u have to choose because u can ride 2" off the ground and want good handling and cornering and not run into a lot of trouble

plus i doubt the true offer THAT big of an improvement in performance, BUT i could be wrong, so would be nice to get a stance rep in here to confirm

im sure the difference between the true and the oem will go unnoticed by any human. you wouldnt notice the difference between our current stock rear suspension or if they came factory with the springs on the struts either. both will slam your car, go with what they have in stock so you can get them on asap. or if you really want to b1tch over a few pennies saved, go for the true. i have oem style and being as low as i am, i think my car rides better than it did when it had stock suspension or any combination of aftermarket lowering springs.
