Finally installed my Buddy Club Race Spec Dampers...*PICS*
Well, after having these for quite some time now, I decided to install them today since it was a pleasant 60 degrees out today 
Install was smooth, took me about 15 minutes each. I didn't really adjust everything yet. I wanted to drive it and see how they felt.
They have pillow mounts so the ride is a tad "harder" than normal but, overall they feel OUTRAGEOUS. I did some testing and they felt great. Not hardly as harsh as I thought they would feel being a "race" coilover.
As far as adjustment, I may soften the front up just a little and leave the rear very stiff. This will suit my needs just fine.
The construction on these things are top notch. Indestructable looking. I gotta check again to see the spring rates, believe it or not, I forgot..LOL. They look purdy too. They get an A+ from me
Here are some pics....
BTW: Thanks to Rob (rbf351) for giving me a hand

Yep Spoons are on for now. The new Volks are not here yet... the people I was dealing with are morons and I am now getting the from R & D. A much more reputable company...
I got some painted body side molding and painted sideskirts and some red Volk lugs.
No mirrors, waitng on some Spoon/Vision Mirrors.
I have so many more thing sitting here in my room waiting to be installed. I'll be putting stuff on as we have some nice weather
Also, very soon, I will be getting some extreme power adders In the 240 Normally Aspirated WHP range.
more soon....

Re: Finally installed my Buddy Club Race Spec Dampers...*PICS* (SIINSI)
about your lugs...how is the quality, do they look like theyll hold up to more than 5 times of being taken off, and put back on the car? and since theyre aluminum, do you have any problem with the expansion/contraction and them "freezing" onto your wheels? TIA...and by the way... 
on your SUS.
on your SUS.

Re: Finally installed my Buddy Club Race Spec Dampers...*PICS* (tonyxcom)
Thanks... I got the SRR arms local from some dude. I really don't know how much of a performance factor they are but, I like the way they look. I'll be the first to admit that some things I buy, just because I like them. They are a bit lighter and probably a little stronger being that they are much thicker. But still, I just like the way they look
Jonas... I already sold the mirrors.
I did have Skunk2's before but, I just gave them to my brother.
The lugnuts seem pretty sturdy. I was worried that they might be a little soft but, they seem just fine.
Thanks for all the comments
