Are you planning on sticking with the stock sway bars as well?
My final decision on which coil-over brand to go with...
Anyone that knows me knows that I am a pretty calculated guy. Before I make a substantial purchase I ask a lot of questions and make a lot of phone calls.
When I first began to search for a method of lowering my car and improving performance I had several competing concerns including:
-street ride plushness
-track performance
-technical support from the vendor and the manufacturer
-aesthetics (w/ many aftermarket wheels you can really see the coil-over)
-adjust-ability
-how rebuildable
-cost
All of this adds up to "value" to me.
When I compared all of the options and saw how little extra money I would have to pay to get the premium product in my price range it was a no brainer to me. Stance GR+ coil-overs! Would you believe the cost was literally only about $300 more than the cheapest coil-over brands and about $100 more than lesser premium brands? I couldn't believe it but that is what they cost from Andrew @ Hyundai Genesis Coupe performance parts at GenRacer - Performance parts for the Hyundai Genesis Coupe.
Now I have a fair bit of suspension tuning experience from racing motorcycles and I'm fully aware how critical this is to optimize the performance of your investment. And I found out during the dialing in stage how nice it is to have an expert on setting these up available anytime w/ tech support, settings, and suggestions. W/ Stance you just call up and get someone and one guy in particular is really a tremendous help. I wore the phone out. And if the stuff wears out you can send them to CA and get them rebuilt quite easily.
I installed my coil-overs myself and although putting the parts on is relatively easy, getting it all dialed in is quite challenging. Truthfully if you are not a tinkerer, I'm not certain that any brand of coil-over is for you or you might easily end up w/ less performance than stock Track suspension. I didn't post right away after installing them because I needed some time to test the set up on local canyon roads and on my commute and make adjustments. For the record I only lowered the car 7/8" up front and 1" in the rear at the suggestion of Stance. I think it looks perfect.
Anyways, the set up is flat unbelievable to me. The car, even w/ the somewhat poor stock tires, sticks and has balance that it simply didn't have when it was on stock Track suspension. I was hitting my standard canyon road and getting thru some of the turns so much faster than I did on my stock suspension that it really shocked me a few times. The car is so flat, so controllable, and so predictable that it is just perfect to me now.
To put icing on the cake, the thing rides considerably smoother and more plush than it did on the stock Track suspension! Freeway expansion joints basically disappear. Nice bonus.
Andrew over at GenRacer was easy and quick to deal w/ and answered at least 30 different PM's from me before I ordered. If you decide to go coil-overs I highly recommend talking to him before you buy anything.

Hm, I disagree with the stock sway bar recommendation. What kind of certifications does the Stance guy have? 
Anyway, nice coils!

I don't know of any certifications that can replace going to actual race tracks and setting up race cars using a stop watch and a good driver and that is what he does for Stance.Hm, I disagree with the stock sway bar recommendation. What kind of certifications does the Stance guy have?
Thanks, they are rather sweet!
Suns, it all boils down to the type of racing/driving you'll be doing the most. With that said, you mentioned canyons, so solid sways are a must for optimum performance.
Lastly, I do think that wheels and tires are more important, but again, do not discredit my suggestion. I too have a lot of racing experience.
Oh and the time factor... Yes that may be affected. If so, it is usually marginal either way.

The team at Stance have plenty of experience in a multitude of different environments. Can't argue with all the trophies earned on Stance suspension.

And you quoted my suggestion only to say what again? LoLThe team at Stance have plenty of experience in a multitude of different environments. Can't argue with all the trophies earned on Stance suspension.
