Default Which do you recommend?

Right now I'm currently trying to figure out what suspension is best for my DC5, and so far I'm stuck on these: Buddy Club N+ Damper Kit: http://www.clubrsx.com/cr/BCS-NP02DC5.html

My DC5 is a DD(and might consider to slam), so can anyone give me any advice on what is best to get or your opinion/recommendation on what to buy?

Go with AMR full coilovers. You wont be dissapointed from what i have heard. In the price range of the buddy clubs your looking at then I would go with koni/gc.

If you are looking in that price range then N+ aren't a bad choice but Buddy Club has had some issues with materials/construction, do a search on ClubRSX to see what I mean. Other options at a similar price are Progress or Tein SS but the Tein's don't go that low.

GC/Koni are not a good choice if you want to go low because the Koni dampers for DC5 are basically OEM length and will live a very short life if the car is lowered excessively.

Well price range isn't a big issue with me at the moment, right now what i DO care about is comfortability and most important to me is durability

Koni/GC or AMR for durability and LIFETIME WARRANTY can't forget ride quality.

I love my N+. Everyone i know loves them aswell. For the price i think they are worth it, But i don't think i would buy them to slam my car. Maybe some function & form type 2's.

Well i'm not entirely sure if its going to be slam, but it all depends on brand i will get. I won't mind at all for being slammed though


How much you think the koni's will run me?
