ive also heard that u hav to cut the nut of the fork of the coilover to fit it in. n that u hav to buy a new nut for it due to fitment issues w/ the stock bolt not lineing up right

Well I still have the Buddy Clubs. If you want a good track set-up, I see nothing wrong with the Buddy Clubs. They're 16 way adjustable and handle great. However, if you want a more everyday set-up, I don't know if I'd opt for these. They are extremely stiff and loud (at least I think so) as far as hitting bumps goes. I mean I live in Philadelphia where the roads are SH*TTY. But if the roads are smoother where you are, then go ahead and run them. The Buddy Clubs are made for JDM spec S2000's. When they're installed, the nut on the bottom of the perch of the coilover won't fit the bolt of the US spec perch. The nut on the bottom of the coilover has to be taken off and the one from the US spec perch be welded on. Let me know if there's anything else you need.

i was wondering on this setup here.Here's a couple links:

where you running the buddy clubs? also did u have any probelms with the buddy clubs? im planning to get these or tein flex's, but i need your opinion, both pros and cons. hope you can help thanks.
do you think you can show me pictures of this? also with this setup are you running the sw388 w/ no problem?
and if i asked other members with this suspension will they know what im talking about with the nut at the bottom?
for my koni yellows i striped the bolt on the bottom fork and i had to get the bolt and nut cut off. i just used an external bolt to hold the fork w/ the arms.
right now could be a little tough to get pics but i'll try. well i have the car sitting pretty low and the offsets of the sw-388's (+45 all the way around) are pretty agressive. surprisingly, i only have rubbing in the front when i go over a deep swell or something and the rear (where there's NO ROOM to put your finger between the tire and fender) hardly ever rubs. people ask me all the time other members who installed them themselves, or watched theirs getting installed, will probably attest to the nut/perch phenomenon

Interesting as this is my first time hearing of this. All I know is that I would be hesitant to cut anything off of a brand new coliover and weld something back on just to make it work. This kinda sucks!
I'm gonna look into either the Spoon or Mugen coilovers, also.

ya, its werid, i would expect it to bolt up right, but ive just heard that it doesnt line up right. i dont see no problem in this. buddyclub should of made the coilovers w/o the nut and supplied them seperately.
i guess quality and convience comes w/ a price.
