And I can't belive you said buddy clubs were comfortable, those are some of the most uncomfortable coilovers I've ever rode on, lol

Oh forgot to answer, you just missed out on a deal with them. They were giving out free front and rear camber kit with a purchase of the N+. I would call different vendors to try to get the best price since they all sell at retail.

PIC Apex aren't damping adjustable but the PIC selects are damping adjustable though they are similar in price with the N+. Blox and Ksports I would avoid. They blow prematurely and aren't that good, seriously avoid those. At 800, he the N+ without top hats! Lol

I love my buddy club N+. All day. I set them soft on daily and when things get crazy on the back way home from work I twist them up. Hands down my favorite.

Did you quote that from the bible.

I would do some research and try to gauge which setup you think fits the bill. Everyone has different thoughts about diff setups and they can be biased so the more you read, the better idea you will get

Koni/GC gets my vote, I love how they handle and are pretty comfy on the street. If you want to get more aggressive just up the spring rates and have the Koni's re valved.

The Progress are great stuff. I currently have been using Bilstein coilovers and love them.

What you need to buy is 92-95 EX 2 door "mirror garnish" for a car with power windows. It won't have the hole in the triangle piece like non-power mirror cars. It looks like those parts are discontinued from Honda though...

JDM coilover that will be used for street, it's tough to beat the Tein Basis/Basic or the SS.

i wouldn't track on those coilovers as they're way too soft (spring rates and damping).

K-sport/BC Racing/D2/etc...are the taiwanese brands that are pretty much all the same so pick your favorite color and price for those ones.

The japanese coilovers are generally more expensive and may not be very good either compared to cheaper set-ups such as the PIC/AMR/Progress stuff.

i'm currently using a JDM coilover myself on the street and on track.

after years of going through different brands and set ups, i find that you can't have both a comfy street ride and track ready setup.

I'm talking bout the cover for those that don't have power windows. It's on the left hand corner by the steering wheel.

I looked and compared the PIC and buddy clubs prices pretty much the same. I'll research more. Thank for your contribution.

I would daily drive my "track" set up, if it wasn't for the car not having any "amenities" in it.

I have tracked on my "daily" set up, as well. It is all up to the person driving the car.

i agree, cuz i daily my track set up as well but i feel sorry for my GF sometimes when going over rough roads...lol!

she doesn't like my 16k/14k spring rates too much

nothing wrong with tracking on your daily set up either but if it's too soft and valved only for street use, i can't see one having great lap times (unless you have a ton of seat time of course!).

just my personal opinion of course
