just wondering about these?

 

??

 

Buddy Club Racing Spec dampers have a greater range of dampening adjustability than the Zeal B6. They're more of a track oriented coilover than the B6, which are are a street/track orientation.

 

Agreed

 

Can't comment yet, but I have the BCs on order right now from R&D and will hopefully get them within a week or two. I'll post some street/track opinions when I get them.

 

Ask Todd00 on this board. He's had both setups installed on his R.

 

todd00??

 

 

Send me an IM if you have any questions.

 

i just IM you.
thanks.

 

anyways

i'm thinking about to upgrade my suspensions
i've been looking at zeals, b2, b6's, tein, buddyclub racing spec damper, and mugen lowdowns.

so far it has come down to
zeal b6 and buddyclub racing spec dampers.
so far i know this much about the buddyclubs
15 Way Click Adjustable
TopUpper Pillow Mount
46mm Piston
Stock Spring Rate is 8k/12k - Different rates are availabe separately
Chromoly
Lower Perch Height Adjustable - Retain Full Suspension Travel Regardless of Car Height

Function B6 Series
Aluminum Rigid Mounts
PVS Technology -- 6 way adjustable shock
Lower adjustable bracket
Chromoly coated

that's pretty much about all i know.. but i want to know more about perfromance stand point?


street/ track and also, we do get a lot of snow here in toronto. so rust proof is also a important factor.

thanks guys

Yes but you can swap 12 to the back and 8 to the front. That is what I'm running on my car 8 front and 12 back (on buddy club).

B6 come in 2 different spring options:

Street: 10k/6k

Circuit: 12k/8k

Can also order custom springs as well(pretty much any company does this)

I don’t know for certain about the BC's but I’m fairly certain they use the same type of "blind" adjustment as Tein, which I’m not a fan of. The Zeal’s may be more coarse in their adjustment but knowing what setting you are on for certain would be worth it, well to me at least.
