I love the the heigh setting you have your car. My kind of style. Congrats on the new suspension. Wheels does make a difference on ride experience. Its reviews like this that make want to change my future suspension plans.

It's been brought to my attention the reason the MADE-IN-TAIWAN buddyclub Racing SPEC Dampner coilovers are so comfortable is because they're underdampened, thus making them more comfy for street driving, but "technically not correct from a performance/function perspective."

I was also told "springs included on the taiwan built coilovers are almost always sub par. They are typically thicker, heavier, and are hot wound using low grade steel, which tend to prematurely exhibit wear (sag) with spring rates that are not consistent left to right and to what is advertised."

Jefferino, have you had your car corner balanced? If this is true about the springs quality, then one would not be able to corner balance the car accurately. What do you all think?

Also, is it possible to raise the stock height of my SC300 w/ these BuddyClub Racing SPEC Dampner coilovers? If so, how many inches?

How do these buddyclubs compare to the Megan Racing Coilovers?
