i have stances on my s14.....quality is very nice they are beefy....when they come in the box they weigh 70lbs just to give you an idea of how heavy and beefy they are...another plus about stance is they give you a set of higher spring rated springs if you want to swap them out and they are made in the USA wich means if you need them repaired its alot less of a headache....the ride is really nice also

I've had them on my s13 for about 3 months now, and I love the ride. I've never had coilovers on any of my cars before, but i've ridden in some cars with shock/spring combos, and this is way better. I've got it set to like 2/3 stiffness, and it's pretty stiff. Funny thing is, some bumbs and stuff the car actually feels better on now (like when you see someone in front of you on stock suspension go bouncing down the road, then you go over it and it feels like nothing).
From what I've been told though, they're supposedly the same thing as JIC Magic and buddy club coils. I have no idea if it's true or not, but if it is, and you can get those cheaper and don't want the extra springs (comes with 8kg/6kg front/rear on them, and an extra set of 9kg/7kg), i'd say go with one of them.

this was quoted from zilvia

From the fine folks at TF, Origin, v:S, etc…comes Stance SUS. I’ve been running a prototype version since mid October ’05. The images and specifications here are the final production versions which are available now.
S13/14 comes with 8k/6k springs, other models listed on the site. I believe the intent was that special order spring rates are available but you will have to email to confirm.
Review:
I have been driving my S13 with Tein HE coilovers for three years and have driven cars with most popular coilovers out there.
Install was very standard, no issues… I don’t like front brake line brackets mounted on coilovers (any brand, not just Stance) as they like to bind, so I like to remove them. I set the height up to match what I had the HEs set as. Obviously with the new coilovers, there was no sag so it took a few more adjustments to get it to the proper height. I did not reach the lowest possible height adjustment, so there was room to go further. My estimates were that my PROTOTYPE MODEL is similar in “maximum slammage” to my old HEs. The production model was adjusted to allow for even more lowering. For the record, I tuck the rears of my 17”s with room to go lower.
First impressions:
Taking into consideration that my HEs are probably nearing the end of their lifespan, the Stance coilovers reacted very well. The biggest thing I noticed was the rebound is very quick without over compensating which would make for a bouncy ride. It made the car feel very go-karty.
The next day, it was track time. Driving the car on the Chicago highways to the sticks, the car felt great. A noise was noticeable coming from the rear, more than likely caused by the pillowball mounts. The production version has a one piece pillowball mount in the rear to reduce noises.
A few seconds on the track turned into a few hours…which turned into the whole day flying by as usual. At the end of the day, I realized I had completely forgotten about the coilovers. In my eyes, this says the most about them as I didn’t notice anything negative at all. I put two wheels in the air after hitting a rumble strip not quite right and it reacted very predictably.
This was the last event of the season which meant a long ride home as I try to keep the car in Chicago as much as financially possible. The 400+ mile drive home was a good “daily driver” test. Ride quality was consistent and my back was just fine.

MSRP is listed on the site, I’d expect the street price to differ as usual. Currently Touge Factory is offering Stance with two full sets of springs (8/6 & 9/7) for less than MSRP.
Hopefully this didn’t come across as the blatant advertisement that it looks like. I’ve had these on since Oct ‘05 to legitimately give them a thorough review long before TF offers them for sale.

I've had Stance on fangirl for like eight or nine months now. I like very much. Smooth ride. I didn't realize how smooth until I drove another car with shitty suspension for a couple months.
Ride height goes to super low :]
Extra set of springs is nice too. I have 9/7 on my car and letting a friend use the 8/6.
I don't have too much experience with driving on 546546516 different coilovers, but I like these. They're pretty much the only thing that make my car cool. Hah :\
