Funny stuff, I went out, came back and this thread blew up.

I really do not like dense people, the world is really big out there, sitting around pointing fingers at others while in your own sealed world is lame. In order to learn and adapt you have to be open to new ideas and things.

It'd be different if he had experience or heard of someone's experience with the coilovers in question but just talking about stuff based on a unrelated experience is kinda stupid.

So let's see the Stance coilover info now.

Well I was thinking about calling them on Monday and asking more about there product. They kind of are similar in design to the buddyclubs. They look fantastic and the spring rates look like they could hold up for trackdays. I still have to pull the trigger on a new set of coilovers.

I was originaly thinking about the pss9 but after some recomendations from others and the coilovers lack of independent height adjustment and camberplates for the price, I turned to the buddyclubs again. For my use they would be primaraly street and would see the track maybe 4 times a year. Again an inverted monotube strut under 1500 sounds great!

Hmm. I have tried calling them several times over the last few days. But no one is answering and there is no machine to leave a message. I just emailed them yesterday but nothing so far.

Hmm....

they were at TAS this is the response i got:

Sorry for the late reply, we were in Japan for TAS.

All of our products are made in Japan, at ISO 9002 certified plant.

Our coilovers have been designed to our specs using test and tried info.

Inverted monotube diameter is 56mm(one of the biggest in the industry).

Perches and upper mounts are anodized aluminum.

All of our coilovers go strict road testing and dyno testing to ensure proper valving. Many companies can replicate suspension cheaply but it takes a know how to properly valve the shocks.

All of our products come with 1-yr warranty

Thought I'd toss in some information to clear something up... That D2 logo is a straight plaigiarized copy of the Vodafone D2 (cell phone stores) logo... Vodafone D2 sponsors the DTM series... not this "D2 Racing" BS coming out of China. They've obviously adopted the illegal logo as their own tryin to pass off on the established brand of the REAL D2. More Chinese bullshiet... sorry to say, but if I spent 36K+ on a car, I am NOT putting suspension made by a bunch of Chinese people assembled in God knows where, using God knows what materials, illegally copying designs at will without any regard for the law.

The REAL D2... on a Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft MBZ CLK Touring Car




The FAKE *** D2, out of China (FIGURES)

Wow PurgeIt,

...I don't know for sure, but are you sure these two are absolutely non-related? Again, I don't know myself, but that was pretty harsh and bias to say the least...

Well... according to Stance, there have been 4 sets of coilovers purchased from them for the Evo VIII and the purchasers were all evom members. If any of those guys have gotten them installed yet, a review would be awesome!

I saw the Stance for sale on Ebay. $750! That's a really good price for inverted monotube coilovers!
