01silverbullet, you won't be disappointed! Like TH said, they really are wonderful for the money!
Yeah, Motons would be awesome ... but only if I got them for 1500 for the set =P But hey, being able to change high/low speed compression and rebound damping is freakin awesome. If the Stances had that ability, I'd keep the high/low speed compression and low speed the same and crank up the high speed rebound. That'd definitely keep the car planted coming out of the hard dips/bumps that unweight the car now.
That should be a good setup! I'm guessing that the car will be geared more towards understeer, but I could be wrong as I don't know what size your sway bars are =P Regardless, the rear of the car will be able to be coaxed out, so it's all good =)
The Koni's are a great damper and I've used them extensively with my old street and race cars. I don't know how long they'll last with those spring rates, but luckily they can be rebuilt later even with shorter bodies if you want to lower the car more and retain full travel
Ahh yeah if my Koni's go,I will be ordering the GR's lol
if i had the funds id pick these up already, but money is a little tight by me so im lookin at gettin these around summer time...not what i planned but thats the way its gotta be
i had decided on the stance gr+ or gr+ pro's before this review and this only makes me want them more lol.
a hardcore drift buddy of mine uses the gr+ pros on his s14 drift car. he has had them for quite awhile and he beats the crap out of them and they just keep on performing. they are a truely great product for the money.

The GR+ is our flagship line. It features 15-way damping adjustable monotube shocks, which allows the driver to fine-tune the handling and ride. A separate lower bracket allows the ride height to be adjusted without sacrificing stroke. Spherical bearings are used to give the driver greater feedback. Inverted monotube shocks are utilized on strut types for greater rigidity and heat dissipation. Camber adjustable upper mounts are used on strut types.
Quote:
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.
In other words, the GR+ Pros allows you to further slam your car and still have the shocks work in a good range and the springs still sit on the perches even when you hit a big pot hole or something that can offload one side of the car vs the other
I have Stance and have mixed feelings. While they feel good and handle on smooth roads, any little bump is harsh. I'm set about half on the dampning, so nothing too bad. I can stand the harshness, but whats I hate is that they are REALLY noisey. My buddies Stance on his S14 240sx are not noisey. On my IS they seem to make a crash noise everylittle bump. Almost sounds as if the bushing on the bottom mount, especially in the rears, is larger of a whole than the stock bolt that goes through it, allowing it to have play and bounce around over bumps.
Anybody have these experiance with them being noisey?
