Default Such a big lie!!

I purchased a set of BuddyClub coilovers in California at US$1,600, the staff from the shop where I purhcased told me it is made in Japan, but my japanese friend told me BuddyClub didn't run the business for a long time. Who can tell me where to find a manufacturer to make BuddyClub coilovers in Japan or please let me know their website.

someone from F2 told me BuddyClub, F2 and BCtec are from the same manufacturer, and F2 coilovers are better than BCtec + prices are more reasonable. Have you guys used F2 coilovers, how's the quality?

Well, since they are not from Japan, they are not JDM. Therefore they must never be put onto a car EVER!


...it's sarcasm, I promise.

have you ever owned any of them? can you honestly say you have sat in cars equipped with any of them? i just wanna know why you think they are junk without stating any facts, are you just jumping on the "not made in japan = not jdm = not good" bandwagon? instead of bashing them based on what you heard why not try to learn more about them first hand. also i own koni/gc so don't think i am biased on the topic.

Taiwan manufactures 95% of our parts it seems like ha ha. Just because they are manufactured in Taiwan doesn't mean they are low quality, but it does mean than there
are probably other companies have the same EXACT product for cheaper. However there are optional things that can be added/taken away to the same design when it is manufactured

I purchased BCtec coilover and installed them but the oil leaking happened. I asked the shop repair them for many times but the quality never improved. The staff from the shop advised me to purchase F2 Type II. He said F2 Type II's quality is better than BCtec and the price is more reasonable. Than I purchased F2 type II. Do you know what happen afterward? The same problem again!!! damm!! What is so-called good quality??? When I heard that they are from the same manufacturer, how do I think about Buddy Club?
