Buddy Clubs Installed!!
Installed my Buddy CLub Racing Spec Dampeners last night! I love them. Very high quality. Ordered them through David at R&D, very fast and prompt service always a pleasure dealing with David!
The coilovers are top notch quality and I like them alot more then my Tein Ha's on my 5th Gen Prelude. The ride is very stiff with 12/8 spring rates. Very tolerable though. The Buddy Clubs make no noise whatsoever unlike the Teins which had quite a few of noises! I am very happy and feel that the money is very weel spent! I will have pics soon.

Re: Buddy Clubs Installed!! (Smitdog)
for sure BC is alot better than Tein HA(its a entry level suspension). HA is twin tube and BC is a large OD mono tube. HA is a street suspension but BC is a sport to circuit suspension.

Re: Buddy Clubs Installed!! (Smitdog)
great coilovers from buddy club.
i am quite impressed with the firmness of the ride and the wide range of adjustability of the bc's.
...and the install in the rain was great.

Re: Buddy Clubs Installed!! (Ukyo)

I would suggest Buddy Club Race Dampeners to anyone willing to spend the money! Deff a notch above Tein and Zeal B6's!!

Re: Buddy Clubs Installed!! (Ukyo)
I just rode in Smitdog's ITR with the Buddy Club's and all I have to say is damn!
Smitdogs old car was a 2001 Prelude with the JRSC and Tein HA's. The ride with the BC's in the DC2R is so much better and the handling can not be matched!! I wish they made them for my BB6! I will get some pics up of the BC's on Smitdogs car ASAP!

Pictures will be taken tonight or tomm. Give David at R&D a call and he will tell you all you need to know about the Racing Spec Dampeners, and his sincerity and great customer service can not be matched!

Re: Buddy Clubs Installed!! (Flux)
I am deff going to be going to all the track days possible and Auto X's. I havnt gone to many b/c my last car was a JRSC'ed 5th gen Prelude and was worried about tracking it with the boost, so now I cant wait to go with the R which is so much better in General! Alot of street use but it is totaly tolerable.
Re: Buddy Clubs Installed!! (zyg)
Mine better get here soon, because I ordered (and paid) for them months ago, didn't get them for the expo, and they're "still on a slow boat from Japan" AFAIK

Re: Buddy Clubs Installed!! (Smitdog)
Good to hear! I ordered a set from David about 3 days ago. I can't wait to get them. I hear you can run the optional 14kg springs in the rear for autox or if you like to drift a bit on the track.

Re: Buddy Clubs Installed!! (FAST4DR)
Are the BC's height adjustable? Im looking for something thats height adjustable, but not for $2500. If so, how much of a drop do you have and are you running a camber kit? I know that camber kits squeek a lot, thats why I asked since you said you had no squeeking.
cant wait to see some pics!!
