Looking forward to moving up to either of these coilover systems it's for my 97 civic hatch <U>i really want the EDFC function, but ill see what u suspension gurus will say </U>

car is daily driven on the highway, for MD/VA/DC people...i drive on 95 and 495 everyday looking into doing auto-x...soon

Post pics, feedback, experiences, pros/cons, suggestions on spring rates...etc
any alternatives?

THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP!

 

I love my Flex's I've never had any experience with the buddy club's, but I heard they were nice as well. As for the EDFC, I never really saw a use for it. I dial in my suspension and leave it. If its a track day, I just turn the ***** and wallah

Whats the spring rates on the buddy clubs?


I am getting sick of my flexs, ***** *** spring rates.

 

^^^ i have no clue....that's why i asked what are ur spring rates? what kind of car?...

I have a silver ek hatch with tein flexs. Rates are 504front 280 rear.

Weak *** for the track. I'd sell you mine if i wasnt broke and could buy better coilovers.

tien usa has many different rates availaible or you can substitute eibachs ERS ect. I would not go with buddy clubs as I've had them turn to **** rates and start leaking and so have a few other people around here. Personally I would get stuff from progress for that price http://www.progressauto.com

well never used niether but my buddy use flex n he likes em 16 way adjustable plus you can get custom springs rates... both street n track

i personally use the HA's n im happy with em

 

damn....really, my cousin has the PROGRESS CS1 Coilover kit and he loves it....but not sure if he would compare em to the other two.

THANKS!

thanks

 

you can run edfc on the RA though, just gotta push your hood up. i was originally planning to get it, but felt there was really no use to it if i wasn't going to track it A LOT.

 

oh yeah, i was in the same dilemma as you. i almost bought omni's but came across the RA's. personally, i'd rather get the buddy club racing spec with it's 10/8 rates than the flex with the 9/5. if anything, omni sports

 

seriouisly, get some decent suspension, and LEARN to drive on the auto - x's and feel your car out.

then come back with new spring rates.

IMO i saw autox your car as it is right now.

 

bomb. sound bomb.
u ever thought about posting all of that in one reply?

thanks though...

Better yet go with the REs. Adjustable lower shock mount.

Too stiff for what? Maybe the gf, not the track.

 

You should get Tein RS.
