stance coilovers come with both front and rear camber adjustments at no additional cost. Dampening is only 13 clicks but is also monotube inverted strut design which makes for more precise damping.
It's really your pick peter

im gonna go with the Stance GR+ in this case..
when Import Image started pushing BC they caught my eye but it seems Stance has been around longer.. the dampening extenders are nice with BC but could be a gimmick as well huh?
a friend of mine who has a G35 backed up stance as well

definitely a good choice. you won't be sorry. make sure when you get them you break them in on the softest setting for 500~1000 miles then you can start playing with the dampening.
some people may disagree but what I've learned and haven't been disappointed with my coilovers.

THATS VERY TRUE. i feel like i have an easier time controlling the dampening with my cusco's and 5 clicks. the megans were fun with 32 clicks, but for newbie's like me who drives like a grandma and occasionally have a run or two...less clicks FTW. i think go with stance>bc

i have the BC BR ones in the wagon since last oct. the ride is actually better than the TEIN SS that i had in the prelude. on a stiffer setting it takes corners really well. so far the only complaint is a sqweak from the rear dampers, other than that it's been "g".

If you are interested in Stance GR+, pm Henry@MachIII (dunnojack). See if he can hook you up. Yes he is in California, but I think he can get you a better price than $1350.

Seriously though, if you don't plan on doing a lot of motorsports, don't get coilovers, especially the Stance. I am not trying to discourage you. I am just saying they are a rough ride. From my experience, I wouldn't even consider coilovers unless I was driving the car really hard. Don't believe me, search DarkOnion Coilover Spectrum. Read my notes.

i'm on bc coils, and i think my fronts are a little too low (plus im a big guy), so i rub a lot in the front, but they are really comfortable, but then again i've never ridden in a stance dropped car =/

reason for me switching to coilovers soon is for the fact that i'm looking to go Hella Flush in the near future.
the springs are a nice ride i have to admit.. i highly doubt i'll be autocrossing though ive always thought about it
i know i'm late in chiming in, but i have a set of stance coilovers on my subie. as my car is pretty much an auto-x/weekend only car, going with the stance was a good choice. however, if i had to daily drive it, which i assume you are, i'd recommend going with something valved better for the street. also, because of the monotube design, it can be a PITA adjusting the settings vs BC's. just my $0.02.
