Stance GR+ vs KW V2
am looking for a new coilover set up for my 07' G35. Right now, I am pretty much debating between Stance GR+ or the KW V2's.
I predominantly daily drive the car so ride quality is really important to me. I hit the autocross about 3-4 times a year, so daily driving is more of a priority here.
Will the Stance setup be too stiff for daily driving compared to KW's progressive spring setup?
I hope to hear from you soon. I have been in contact THMotorsports and I really want to order a set this week.

I have the Stance GR Basics..not sure if these are the same as the GR+ because I bought these about a year ago...and they're perfectly fine.
I drive my G daily and it's not too firm...I'd say it's only a bit more stiff than stock...very impressed.

+1 for GR+
I've got the OEM style GR+ on my '06 G35 Coupe, and I love them. I've put over 2000KM on them since I got them, and I've driven all over Michigan, Illinois and Ontario, Canada since. They are definitely stiffer than stock, but the ride quality is quite good - living in Toronto, I think that says a lot based on our road conditions. From having been in a car with Tein Flex, the GR+ is slightly more forgiving on rough road, but the performance of the Flex is a bit sharper.
If you're concerned, give Stance a call. They can set you up with custom spring rates if you think the 12kg/11kg spring rates are too stiff (personally I think they're great). I've got dampening set to 8/15 all around, and I think it's just about perfect.
They are also pretty hefty, looks like they are built really well, but only time will tell. Oh, and I got mine from Eddie at THMotorsports. He's a good guy to deal with.

and read the articles. They are very informative, and there appear to be some potential issues with running true coilovers on G/Zs - I would try to explain it, but I don't think I could do the issue proper justice.
