I'm interested to hear the opinions of those that have used them as well. I think like most applications, it helps if you explain your goals/priorities such as ride quality, super lowering, etc.

buddy club N+ or racing spec (RSD). buddy clubs can get low like megan, can ride firm like JIC, zeal. Made in japan and most importantly cheaper then JIC,HKS,Zeal, and the like.

I think the OP has already purchased a suspension.

And BTW, Buddy Clubs are not made in Japan. That's why they are cheap.

Buddy Club coilovers are manufactured in Canada. Just FYI.

Sometimes companies source different parts from other countires, such as a top rotational bearing from Japan, and they can claim "made in...."

i really dont care where they are made. the only reason i mention where its made is because i know some people care about that. and until buddy club tells me otherwise i believe them.

Well some people base an opinion on the quality of product from where it is produced. When a company prodcues a product somewhere and says it's made somewhere else, it's nice to know where it's actually "made".
