Ok guys, so i'm trying to decide which coilovers I should get. My budget is around $1000 and I was thinking about either the TEIN SS or the Buddy Club N+. Which ones would ya'll suggest and how much does each one lower the car? I'm looking to be able to almost tuck a 17" rim. And please list any other suggestions you might have.

 

I have no experience with the buddy clubs. I had the tein ss on my last car and it was a terrific setup. Combine those coilovers with some rear stabilization for a great package!

 

I dont have the N+, but I have the Racing Spec Dampners.

I've barely lowered it about half of what the coilover is capable of, and I'm tucking about half the tire. I'm pretty sure I can go another 3 inchs lower... but I would have to take off my wheel well to make clearance.

Here's it on stock wheels. Coilovers only lowered about 1/2; a good 3 inchs to go before it hits all the way down


and on 18's + low pro tires:

but then again, this is the RSD, not the N+.

 

Well, I think i'm gonna with the Buddy Club N+. I can get em for 930 plus shipping. Is this a good deal? And i'm planning on getting some 17" volk TE37's to go along with it

 

Sounds good bro, I'm anxious to see this...

 

ever consider Tanabe Sustec Pro S-OC Type II i have those and they ride smooooth...

 

can we get more pics of your car dude?

 

The Buddy Club N+'s are on backorder. I have the Racing Specs on my car and I love it, isnt much more bumpy than stock

 

im riding on k sports and i like them a lot. the ride is great even being so low, i can still go about an inch lower.

 

you lowered bastards

 

yeah

When summer hits, i'll also be lowering the car possibly another inch or so.
My coilover is only at about half right now, there's a good 3-4 inchs to go before it's all the way down

 

hey wong take some better pics of that front grill. take a pic of the whole front.

 

all i got for now, if you need one from farther away i can have one for ya tomorrow or sat.
i'll be doing my window trim, s2k tips, and fogs on sat

 

hmm... i was thinking about doing the same with my grill. i'm starting to think that the inner part being black instead of the body color might look better.

 

i like d2 coilovers
