Hello all,

In an effort to add more parts to our inventory we've been looking at what we can bring in and offer customers. The first thing I noticed when getting hired was that we don't offer any coilovers even though we have a pretty large suspension offering.

Two companies we're considering offering coilovers (and hood dampeners) from are Stance-USA and Enduratech.

We value the input of our customers so we were hoping that you might take some time and reply to this thread or PM us with your thoughts on these two companies and the coilover systems they offer.

We're interested in the following:

-Quality of the product
-Your view of the popularity of the product
-Issues with Customer Service on the manufacturer side (if you've had problems with a specific vendor please only mention it if it also involved the manufacturer since a vendors customer service doesn't reflect our customer service).

-Would you buy these products and do you believe others would too?

We've looked at reviews of each product and see potential but we would like some real world input before we dive into either company. We may offer both in the future or maybe only one depending on feedback from you enthusiast and more research on our end.

Looking forward to responses.

(If you'd like to add input about other coilover options such as BC Racing or similar please feel free to do so, but please limit the talk to coilover manufacturers.)

Thank you,

-Nick and the rest of the SubaruWRXparts.com Team

:D

Yay for coilovers.

I have heard good things about Stance and BC, but rest assured that I will be doing much research on a few other names I have seen out there so as to be able to give you good feedback. I have a good line on real world input from working at Super Autobacs in cali.

Props on all the moves you seem to be making over there Nick!

Thank you, we'd love to hear any input you have.

Coilovers are just the begining! ;)

Not huge on Stance, but dont know much about them. Endura Tech would be one of the first coils I would buy for my car.

Ordered my Stance coils yesterday and should have them installed by the weekend! I'll post after they are installed. :D

Stance is still fairly new in the U.S. market. They're a japanese company who have branched into the U.S.

So far there have been favorable reviews. My research has shown that they can be considered an entry level coilover and priced reasonably around the $1,200-$1,500 range.

Looking forward to see them come in for Jays STi so I can inspect them myself.

STANCE coils were on backorder for a month and I'm too impatient.........ordering my BC Racing coils on Monday

FYI: TopSpeed in GA sucks and lied about having the coils in stock (ordered them from TopSpeed because we were still considering becoming a vendor)......still have not refunded my credit card either. Don't recommend them!

BC's are my favorite of the 1k market! Good luck with them I am sure you will enjoy!

Stance coilovers are quality from the reviews, however they seem to be backordered right now and we'll be waiting to see if they can sort that out prior to going any further.

Enduratech should be coming on board sometime this week. Stay tuned for further announcements.

If I could only justify to myself the money and maintenance required for coils, and the bumpy ass roads in NH, I would LOVE a set of Endura Techs.

How bout some build a coilover setups? Ground Control and the like? I'd really like to put together a much more custom setup on my Impreza and SVX. The ability to choose spring rates and all that. Wish I could find progressive rate coil springs but dual spring rates from 2 springs. Anywho I hear great things on Enduratec no idea on the other.

I went 30k on TEINs with nothing more than an adjustment

Ya, I would like to see them now and what kind of shape the housings and **** are in, and if you can make any adjustments. Im not digging on coils, believe me, they are sick. But NH salt and sand and snow...no thanks. I couldnt spend the dough on coils and put them through that abuse. Call me cheap, I just call myself smart...I am so smart S-A-R-T. <--- Homer S quote.
