sooo i finally narrowed my coilover decision down to these 2...

i drive 02-04 Type S - My car is more of an everyday driver and we'll be driving it on the street 95% of the time with me seeing the track maybe 5% if @ most... Im looking for a firm / stable ride - that is still **comfortable**...

I was wondering if any of you guys could give me the PROS-CONS to either suspension setup and it would be really great if i could get feedback regarding guys/gals riding on either setup...

I know there are alot of BB N+ fans on here... but on such website's as http://www.evasivemotorsports.com / http://www.inlinefour.com - calm that Sustec is much better coilover setup with 0% failure rate - when it come to blown shocks/struts...

what are the spring rate on both???
Has BB N+ also corrected the issue regarding the Brake lines???

let me know what u guys think... thanks in advanced...

IM DYING TO PICK SOMETHING UP ASAP!!

 

Why are you stuck on just these two? Looked at any others.... budget?

 

soo far from what i've seen... these 2 seem to fit my budget and what im looking for... but opinions are always great... let me know if what u think...

thanks

PIC coilovers for the EP3/DC5 arent out yet, they still need to do R&D on them.

out of the 2 that you've picked, I would get the Buddy Club's hands down . the rates of them are 10k front 14k rear, but i have mine adjusted so it rides a little stiffer than stock, with much less body roll. I've only had mine for a month, putting about 3500 miles on them (driving to tennessee and back) and it wasnt an uncomfortable ride. As far as the brake line problem i just used zip ties to hold them and it seems to be working fine

 

I personally have the Tanabe Sustec Pro coilovers for over a year now. They have a realli nice ride and when stiffened up the are on the soft side but still handle pretty well. I have had no problems what so ever with them and that with it on the 3rd setting on the front and 4 in the rear.

sooo far it looks like im gonna have to end up getting the BC N+ - because Tanabe no longer makes the Sustec Pro S-S... it's been discontinued and is now being replaced by the ALL NEW Tanabe Pro S Five system (which is being released as we speak) The Five are just tooo *BLING* for me, but if i had the money i'd be getting them for sure...

Tanabe US also seems to be short on stock @ the current moment on all there coilovers in general due too the demand worldwide...

I think Tanabe we'll be raising the bar again this year when it comes to suspension... there all new TEAS (electronic active suspension system) looks sick!!

TEAS allow u to control the suspension from the inside of the car(on the fly) - This allows you to setup different levels where your coilover's spring/damper can automatically adjust it self to the desired stiffness/softness at whatever speeds you have the adjustments set to...

IF YOU GOT THE COIN - Tanabe allday!!! Pro S Five/Pro S Seven are the way to go.
