Why not buy some second hand kings/konis off someone and see how it goes. I am happy with the used set I got and bought a second set for a couple of hundred bucks to keep spare. They are often very cheap because people want the latest stuff. Make sure you replace the bump stops/dust covers however (available from mania) or you will be getting horrid crunching noises on the back. If you don't like them you have lost only lost $2-300 which is not much if you are going to spend $1600+ on teins etc...

What's the verdict on the Stances? The US guys love them and they can go ultra low...Like the red NA under a truck.

I like mine. They seem to be well built and the Touge Factory guys seem happy to use customers comments to revise them.

Plus they are mono-tube which you don't get with Tein until you go a couple of levels above SS to Mono Flex

What should I get for my NC?

I just want to improve comfort and have the car a little lower. I want to spend between $500 - $700 all up.
