Default Re: coilovers

just remember u get what you pay for here. skunk 2 is an American company so that says a lot about the quality of those coilovers. also tein is Japanese but its more of a cheap brand. if you want to buy some extremely high quality jdm coilovers i would say buy buddy club n+ coilovers. for one you get whole set for 8 to 9 hundred bucks depending on your car. also if you buy those you will never have to buy coilovers again. bc coilovers u will be able to dumb your car and not bounce all over the place and you will have one comfortable ride its such an experience tht u will be proud of every penny you spent on them. so its up to u. you could be cheap like my freind and have to deal with ones tht will be bouncy and rough ride and not last long for ****. or you could just use a little bit ore money and buy ones tht wont bounce. or buck when you turn or float when your turning. basically here is the pros an cons of both
cheap coilovers pros
cheap$$$
lowering capability
better than factory
colors

cons
longevity
quality
bouncy ride
not a very comfortable ride
steering g force
floating
swaying
weight
warranty(no)
future replacement


expensive coilovers like BC
pros
comfort
longevity
steering
stiffness
no bounciness
quality
color
warranty(yes)
can be lowered low af
no future replacement
ease of use
you can turn very sharp with no damage to the car or much g force on you.
pot holes will feel like running over a rock qualty of every peace in the coilover system

cons
just a little more$$
jealous friends
envious friends
haters and lots of haters.

but hey man its up too u ask anyone here they all gonna tell you you get what you pay for. quality parts are worth the money and pay offf so much.

skunk2 is an american company that has parts made overseas with little if any quality control. i wouldnt touch anything from them if it was given to me free.

the rest of your post is absolute garbage and isnt worth commenting on.

I'd say the Buddy Club N+ are a midrange coilover, as mine had the upper bushings go out on the fronts after about 20k miles.

You started talking about the Buddy Club N+, but then went on about BC. BC Racing is a completely different company from Buddy Club.

And as stated above, you just threw in a bunch of buzz words, with no info to back anything up.
