Got my Buddy Club N+ Spec on a ek and it handles great. I dont have sway bars but I really dont need them because they take corners awesome, very little roll. Right now they are set up with the settings about midway, as they are adjustable. Also if you want something good for dd theyre perfect. I got mine at heeltoeauto.com

IMO, yes, with proper springrates.

20 levels of adjustment isn't always &gt; than 5. Illuminas have superior valving and a lifetime warranty.

yea but the tein ss have 16 levels of adjustment plus you have the option of adding the EDFC to it
do you know any websites where they sell the illuminas for a cheaper price?

it's going to depend on the springrates and your driving preferences. Do some research in the suspension forum.

I see illuminas from the same seller all the time on ebay for ~$375 shipped.

The retail is ~$450 which is what you can get koni yellows for in the marketplace.

for the extra $75, you get one HELL of a better shock than the illumina. And the illumina is nice.
