Yeah you should of upgraded because to be fair stances are poop, but anyway to sort them harder springs and thicker oil s probably the key.

Drops on Stance Kingpins are a no.
They do snap fairly easy and arent all that strong.
They are basically a SC fork with longer stanchions and are designed for entry level DH, NOT drops.

Oh wow, it's another mountain bike product that isn't suited for anything more than mild xc.

DH drops generally dont exceed 5-6ft in DH racing due to insurance issues.

So he's on about bigger drops - i wouldnt go over 5ft on them.
My bro had some on his 2-Step, used them twice, now they have seized up and will have to go back in the new year.
