Default anybody running buddy club racing spec damper?

Is anyone running these on their Civic? How do you like them? How do you like them at the track? How do you like them on the street? Are they too stiff?

thanks

no BC is better than B6 because of the HUGE piston rod....

but B6 looks better

I'm running the Racing Spec's on my car and absouletly love them. It's honestly the best suspension that I have ever had or tested, a friend of mine has the Zeals and the Buddy Club's are much better IMO. I haven't been to a track day or anything yet (only had them for about a month) but they are excellrnt on the street and are a much better suspension setup than I am a driver right now

Buddy Club Racing Spec's get from me. The car is a 92 hatch if that matters

i was running full stiff rear on my b6... helped with rotation tremendously...

only drawback was the freeway ride.

i'm not running a 22mm ITR bar with a torn subframe like you though...

Thats the same here it does totally help the rotation but is kinda rugged on the freeway. I think suspension stiffness is a personal thing of what you can tolerate, kind of like exhaust noise. For me loud a$$ exhausts and hella stiff suspension is just dandy in my daily driver
