i believe shades of gray would be able to do 70%, why do you want to stay with such a light tint?

nevermind, the lightest they go is 50%

Im stuck between PIC, buddy club and AMR

SHG_Claudio

I can tell you right now that AMR go decently low and handle pretty good but will ride like **** and their customer service is also pretty shitty since its such a small company. Jim told you PIC dont go very low at all, hes not even tucking tire and they ride kinda rough. Buddy Club have really good height adjustability, ride nice and can stiff up nice too. Not to mention its a product thats been tested a lot. SHG dudes love them and they work with a lot of different coilovers and I think they have a good idea with what is good and what isnt.

If its between those 3, its a nobrainer IMO. I was looking into PIC too but they're not worth the price IMO. If they were less, sure but theyre not. Honestly Function and Form Type 2s are prob better than those. Ive been in a car with them and they ride smooth yet handle good and go low as well. Don't think because they're made in Taiwan or whatever that they are cheap ****, not saying to get them but just pointing out that its not a **** product. Im pretty happy with my Type 1s in fact.

Have a read, this guy got AMR coilovers. http://forums.nwp4life.com/zerothread?id=22382&page=2

My friend has recently emailed AMR a few times and has received answers back with out a problem in regards for them building him coil overs. AMR does custom rates and are built when ordered so i would expect some time for receiving them. I have no personal expeirnece of the AMR's
Can you define ride like ****? Im sure a lot of people have preferences to what rates they are comfortable with and not. Marcin has 14k and 16k he loves it mean while others that have been in the car hate it.

I have been in 2 diff cars with PIC's. I know of two others who drag race with the higher rates and love them. They rode great when i was in the cars. I am not trying to lay frame and have a stupid low "dumped" ride height i need a functional ride height and K series oil pans dont like low. Jim has the older versions of the coil overs so i am not sure if that makes a difference in the height adjustment. Also those coil overs are used and the rates might not be ideal toward his liking. I told him to mess with the adjustments not sure if he did that yet when i last talked to him. I told him that i needed to take a ride in the car to see how i like the rates bc i wanted to do the same rates.

I have driven my friends RSX many times with his buddy clubs and they rode great. The car was also an 06 so it has new bushings and everything not like the old honda's. (I plan on doing bushings as soon as i get money to order them soon.) If you say the SHG guys have them then that must be the only choice then. Guess i have to ditch the K series too since its not purist to do cross chassis engine swaps

PIC or Buddy Club N+, forget f2's...the OTS units are ridiculously soft and they feel rather sluggish. I've never had a problem with PIC's, never owned BCN+ so I can't comment on them.

Side note: I met somebody selling a seibon cf fugen lip for $100obo...i'm debating if I wanna scoop it up or not. It's listed for $333 on sale on clubep3.com, sounds like a good deal but IDK if I wanna rock it or not.

Well the AMRs do have their advantages, that they are custom built and use the HyperCoil spring which supposedly is high end stuff. I gotta go from what I hear since I've never had/been in a car with them. That guy game me some insight but I also have read about someone who bought some coilovers from him and they were super bouncy and rode terrible, even after he had made him another pair. Theres a lot of posts made by Andy(AMR) here on HT and on K20 so do some searching to help you make a decision on what to get.

The build quality is certainly good for the most part on them. I'm going by that guy's word though "ride like ****" is exactly what he said so take that for what it is lol. I mean everyone has diff tolerances for comfort and personally a comfy car is one that handles responsively, in that sense I'm happy with my Type 1s, not too stiff for daily driving yet pretty responsive and quick nimble on a turn. A pretty good balance IMO for a daily/occasional track/auto-x. A little rough of a ride since my bushings are shot but I have ridden in other EGs with better bushings and the car just feels really good, like dead on as far as comfort/handling goes.

So yeah with AMRs I feel theres lots of happy customers and a few not so much but read, the info is def there.

I like PICs a lot and I too like to ride at a reasonable height. Not too low, but pretty low is what I like. Just no wheel gap does it for me. PICs do that but thats about as far as it will go. Maybe you can preload it for more a little bit if it has room in the mount for the shock to go in. They handle amazing from what I have heard and always thought of it as top notch stuff, along with AMR. Both handle sick period. The fact that they ride a little rough kinda bummed me out bc I wanted the dampening to sort of take care of that for the streets. Then again Jim is using a sorta high rate so it is what it is. I'll have to see if I can get a ride in it.

I don't think you can go wrong with any of them, but it might have you feeling that something is missing, either height or comfort. Most of us in here are used to a stiffer suspension and don't mind, meanwhile some passengers I'm sure are hard to please but anyone that knows cars realize that it will have a firmer ride as opposed to a plush one. I like mine firm, not just rough which is diff. Think about what the diff there is. Maybe Jim feels theyre too firm, and not rough so its hard to mix up. Trying them out is the best you can do really before dropping that hard earned money.

I think suspension is more than just coilovers so yeah def do the bushings, you will love it. PICs are more durable with weather that changes a lot and have a little more give, I'd go with those. Hardrace is more for like similar weather all year round and for mostly track cars. Though all in all the differences are that much. The PICs will def last longer because they are forgiving as well. This is coming from Jason at Suja1, he mentioned this in the Brake thread on NWP.

Will with the EP3 also has N+ and he said they ride amazing and his height is on point and Im sure the handling is there too. Then again its a newer car so its hard to judge but I have heard mostly good reviews about them.

SHG guys have high standards so if they aprove of the N+, it counts for something =]

Cross chassis blasphemy! Oh my eyes they burn! Lol. Im down with B or K
