Default New Suspension Review!!!

Hey guys, this thread is not going to consist of pictures because everyone has seen a stock S2K lowered. What I am going to do is tell you about the suspension.

I ordered Buddy Club RSD's from Evasive Motorsports. The guys at Evasive have awesome customer service and provided all the shipping info I needed.

After about 4 total hours of install time including set up (making sure it was level) I am very pleased with this suspension. I now have the dampers set at 6 clicks front, 4 clicks rear. It rides just a little bit stiffer than stock. I am not sure how stiff it is on the stiffest setting but I will soon find out. All in all, the car handles like it is on rails. I'm not sure how low I went but it is definitely not slammed. If anyone has more questions about the dampers please don't hesitate to ask.

i have my n+'s at 15 clicks front & rear (stiffest setting). personally it rides awesome... sometimes when im on a semi-bouncy road it can get a little annoying, but other than that.

glad you like your coilovers, any pics of the car with them on?
