Bumping because my bushings are looking exactly like this as well. Looking into ditching the Stance coilovers soon. Way too many problems with them and I invested far more than their worth.

I got a good deal on a decent set with low mileage ($800), about a year in one front and one rear shock started leaking. So I replaced all 4 shocks with replacements from Stance. Costing me over $600.

Biggest mistake ever, one more year passes and now my bushings are shot, Stance wants $75 per side plus shipping. Yeah ok, they can shove it, with the money I invested into these coils I could've gotten a legit set (PSS9 or Tein SS, etc) for that price tag.

Shocks are still good but I'll prob ditch this setup for something a much better. I've been hearing BC are actually really good from everyone I know although their considered another "entry" level coilover. Good thing about BC is that the bushings are solid I believe.

 

Yeah man, lot's of hype (mostly the Stance, Powertrix is not as Hyped), shitty product, both Stance and Powertrix. This is why I am constantly telling people to just save a few hundred more and get a quality product that will allow you room to grow. Another local is about to remove his Powertrix for a custom setup, I will post pictures of his bushings (that were already replaced once) when we pull them.

 

Care to guess how old the one on the left is? (and no cheaters)

 

Willing to bet less than 10k.. That's about how much my Stance have on them and bushings look identical.

 

Wow, I had no idea about any of this since I hardly ever frequent the forums anymore, looks like it's time for me to go another route with mine as considering how infuriating my air ride setup wound up being I'm not tolerating another nest of (possible?) suspension issues ever again. I guess it's time to start pricing and seeing what's out there these days, maybe I'll just go back to stock at this point lol

 

The owner estimates between 15-18k at most over the past three years since installing them. It is a weekend car and not driven during the winter.

 

Cheap suspension kits are cheap for reason. Always best to save up and do it right the first time if you can.

We have all kinds of suspension available for all price ranges and needs. shoot me a pm for any questions.

 

Yes and sadly these are not that cheap, considering you can get a set of PSS9's for not much more. And actually when you add the cost of my Swift Spring upgrade it is probably more.

 

Yeah, the PSS9 is a great buy for the quality and service available by Bilstein. That is what is on mine.

Ever try pressing that out and opting for some type of poly replacement? Just a thought

 

My exact thoughts at first. I was thinking there has to be a polyurethane bushing that can be pressed in as a replacement rather than the **** quality rubber ones they use.

Maybe an energy suspension or white line part number that matches the bushing. Don't have the time or wanna put the effort into it honestly.

I feel like that's Stance's job to correct their defective part with an updated part.

 

Yeah I surely am not bothering with it. I just want people looking into these coilovers to know how shitty they are.

 

I just thought I would update on yet another set of Powertrix I have worked with. This set has about 40,000 miles on them and this was the second set of "updated" bushings and this pretty much shows that as I thought, from my experience with a few sets of other Powertrix and Stance coilovers, that these "updated" bushings are not updated or improved at all.

These were replaced with the new TEIN Flex Z coilovers and the ride quality and quality of these coilovers was light years ahead of the Craptrix coilovers that came off.
