i'm trying to find out where the buddyclub n+ coilovers were made. Some say they were made in taiwan now ever since its parent company first, inc went bankrupted. I think they're still making products in japan but the question is: are we getting the real japanese buddyclub parts or the ones manufactured in taiwan?

 

if its not jdm are you not going to buy it?

 

ive been tryin to find out anyone has reviews on them. i mean i know they are new but im sure some one has them on a DC and it be nice to get some feedback on the quality of coilover.. i did hear that the Buddy club has an office in the USA not sure with but its some where in the lower south ... also keep in mind, not sure but i was tryin to find the website and it no longer comes up ...????

yes, i'm in the process of doing that.

 

Someone here recently made an excellent and through review as well as track testing of their racing spec coilovers. He was satisfied with it. I have yet to read a review on the n+ ones whether they're worth it for the buck. Still don't understand BC's rationality behind their n+ spring rates.

by spring rates you were referring to the lower rates?

 

he was referring to 12K/6K rates. I've got Racing-Spec on order after I went in and viewed them myself, seem very high quality, but the best test is on the car taking abuse day after day, so time will tell. There are not alot of reviews on these yet, but i think there will be next summer.

I went with 10K/8K for my Racing-Spec

 

from what i've gathered(not fact, just a compilation of things). the racing spec parts are made in taiwan while the p-1 parts are made in japan. the p-1 boxes all have first written on them and say made in japan. the racing spec gear doesn't from what i've seen. but regardless of where it's made...that in my mind doesn't affect its quality...it's the manufacturer and quality control. very few companies "make" their own parts...they just submit the specs and the manufactuer makes it.
