Nice...looking forward to that review Edafe. When can we expect?

Danny, you have the newer Stance coils that are made for the Z's? I bought mine used and one of the shocks was blown. Stance was nice enough to send me a new one at no cost, but it was shorter than the others by about an inch or so...height adjustment was a lil tricky but still good. I swapped the rears from 5k to 8k spring rates and so far so good, ride feels quite smooth

Ok I'm about to get me a set. But what's with this update that they made? Is it an optional thing or is it part of the new model of stance gr+ coilovers? I don't mind that it drops lower now. because thats what i want. Do i need to specifiy when I order that I want this new lower version instead? Confused.

Also which one should i get the gr+ or gr+ pro. seems like the only difference is that the pro comes with the helper spring which most ppl don't even use since it adds some height. Correct?

And another thing is which one do i get the true coilover one or the oem version? I heard from most that if i want to slam my car to the max to get the coilover one?

Getting my stuff right before I order.

Think you are correct on the helper spring on the gr+
"GR+Pro coilover has all the features of the GR+ but adds the benefit of a helper spring. The helper spring allows the shock piston to be placed in the optimal position within the shock body, increasing rebound stroke, and maximizing articulation on cars with minimum suspension travel."

I think you are better off on the OEM version, Nissan designed the vehicle to utilize the spring bucket.

Not sure when you are planning to order but some of the vendors that i tried last week was out of stock.

I believe they changed it and there is no need to request, you can verify with them. I prefer going the true coilover route because you can add toe arms if need be.

I have the new version of the Stance coils, and after speaking with them send pics etc. That is when the change happened because the 200mm spring and helper spring would not tuck rim on a 20" wheel with the true coils, now I can floor it.

greengoblin, when did you order yours? on stance's website it says the z33 version of the gr+ is 200mm. so if i order this one, you're saying i wont be able to tuck with this setup? i thought the spring height was 150mm or 175mm.

again dont know which to get, true coil or oem... which one drops better and what are the benefits one over the other if any?

Also whats good vendor to order these from? One that currently has em ready in stock ready to ship.

Royal_T, are you testing our a prototype version of the stances? if so can you tell me a bit more about em, which model are they the gr+ or what and what is improved? If so I may just wait for those instead if the wait isn't too long.

for you guys with stance coilovers, do you recommend getting the true coilover 12k/5k or the oem version at 12k/11k spring rates?

so confused, help me decide which one. I don't track my car. It's just for driving and cruising. But I want to be able to slam it as much as possible and have some comfort.
