Default Buddy Club Coilovers...are they good?

I can't decide what suspension to get for my car. I want something that when I put it to the stiffest setting...it'll be stiff as ****. I had the Tanabe Pro SS damper on my old DA and it was stiff..still I felt it could've been a bit more stiffer.

I've been looking at the Tein RA and it seems like its good, plus I can order springs with higher rates. Problem is I know those will breal the bank by a lot.

I was also considering the Tein Super Street Damper and just ordering some Eibacj E.R.S. springs with a higher spring rate for the car, but I dont know if its possible.


Then last week I saw my friend's Buddy Club coilovers. I think they are the Racing Spec Damper...He hasnt put them on yet, so I dont know how the car rides, but I was wondering if anyone else on here has them and what has their experience been wit them?

Are they good?

Can you have them rebuilt by Buddy club if they were to blow?

Or should I just go with Tein Super Streets and higher rated springs?

I've been hearing really good things about them from a lot of shop owners that their customers like them. Plus, a friend of mine has them and he has no complaints. Just my .02

If you are spending over $1500 for full coilovers, they must be damn good. Correct me if I'm wrong, but BC's can be a little stiff.

I have heard nothing but praise for the buddy club. That is why I chose to get it over omnis, tein and other brands I have ridden in.

I highly recommend the RE. I have them and love them. They are really stiff for daily driving though, but for the cornering they are badass.

Well obviously for daily driving I wouldn't want them at the stiffest setting. Boston streets are really fucked up, but when I take the car to the track i sure want something that I can make as stiff as necessary.....so if the Buddy Clubs can do that for me, then I guess I'll be going with those.
