yeah i just bought some s2 lowering springs and im not satified with the drop..i wanna go lower so im looking for the best coilover / ride

i-VTEC_DOHC

umm i have tein basics and i love the ride quality. but they do go pretty low when you take one ring nut off the perches. but beware the lower you go, the less ride quality you're going to have. your best bet is probably buddy club n+ or pro-c

Igaly

i would go for skunk2 that brand is mostly for hondas

peeta

buddy club n+

I don't see how making coilovers "mostly" for Hondas would make them any better then others.

I'm in the same boat as you sir, Tein lowering springs are not cutting it.

I told you save up and go buddy club but na you didnt listen to me lol

I just drive to work and go out on the weekends. So i'm going with the Koni shocks and ground control coilovers. Just like the old days, like my hatchback

I've installed both the Buddy Club and Skunk2 coilovers on multiple FG's. IMO they are both good systems. They seem to be well built and have decent valving to go with the spring rates without spending 2500 or more on a coilover set-up. They also seem to be very supportive of they're products. I once got a set of Buddy's scratched up and they replaced them with no inconveince to my customer other than time. Skunk is just as supportive of their products and I like the ride a bit better on the skunks.

Not sure how low you want to drop the car but you probably want to check the maximum recommended lowering heights on what ever you buy as well to make sure you acheive the stance your wishing to attain.

im in the market for some coilovers for my 08 si myself looking for best bang for the buck

i-VTEC_DOHC

^depends on how low you want to go.
i have tein basics and they ride similar to stock imo

Mr_Si-R

i wanna know what this is dropped on!!









his user name is kloscivicsi. i wanna know your setup dude. also if you want me to take your pic down, lmk, and theyre down. is looks like an Si at face value, but it has drum brakes in the rear, is it not an Si?

im really digg this this ride, this is exactly what i want mine to look like, but i want the rear lips too. im pretty jealous

jjagr41390

Idk I've better things and a bigger drop on skunk2 pro s rather that tein basics

i-VTEC_DOHC

^yea thats true, but my ride quality is superior to pro-s. and im not bouncing like a 64 impala going down the highway like you would be on pro-s.

and fyi, the tein basics are modeled off the ctr, so with 18's the car would have the perfect drop.

PM kloscivicsi to find out.

And it's an FA1, LX, hence the drums. Si's and Ex's get front and rear discs.

Sanda1s

i know that dude used to be on springs but that was over a year ago. to answer your question buddy club

vladd

keep in mind that skunk2 has both the pro-s and pro-c coilovers. from what i've heard, the pro-s are trash and the pro-c are pretty awesome

what exactly about that car makes it look like an si? just curious. i'm not seeing any si-specific parts on it.

That black Sedan is dropped on Buddy Club? Did he remove a locking ring? Does he have a system in the trunk? That rear is hella LOW.

I removed a locking ring on my rear spring perches and it's still not as low as that car. In fact it's just the right drop for me. Just a shade of "tuckness", but not super-slammed. Only thing I hate is that those perches hang very loose when I jack the car up and I have to be careful to make sure they're back in the correct position before I lower the car back down. Very tedious work.

rhyssv

i wish i had money for some coilovers

K5^

Wishing does absolutely nothing to fill your wallet.

Mr_Si-R

pretty much just the exhaust, but the lip kit makes it look like an Si, because ive never seen an LX or EX with the lip kip, or lets say i never payed that much attention to one

i-VTEC_DOHC

i always look for the rear disc and the interior, gauges, and silver trim on the doors

K5^

I don't have any HFP underspoilers on my car. So I guess I must drive a hybrid then.

But to address OP's question. There's a trade off for how low one can go while achieving a comfortable ride, and getting both does not come cheap.

vladd

haha, around here i've seen maybe 2 non-si's with the hfp lip kits and 0 si's with them.

what do you guys think of the buddy club race spec coilovers? Are they worth the price for autox/dd
