So which ones and why...

Application: Jack of all trades type car

45% of race time will be at auto-x

45% @ the drag strip

and a few track days here and there (not a major concern this year, but next year I want to devote a lot more time and money to that)

Price isn't an issue, although bang for the buck is...and it's between these 2; please don't suggest other options unless you absolutely feel it's necessary

thanks in advance.

 

the tein flex is not in the same class as the buddy club racing spec
i don't think the flex can handle the spring rates the buddy clubs can

the tein RA/RE are more of a apples to apples comparision

 

Like BlueR said, Tein Flex can't compare to BC's. If you plan on doing alot of track events in the future get the BC's, the Flex's have a nice street ride and that's about all.

 

if you want to run a very high SR's get the clubs BUT the Flex can be revalved to handle higher rates also BTW

 

If anyone is in need of buddy clubs Let me know. P1 and Race specz.

 

Yes, I was aware the two setups aren't similar, which is why i posed the question...which ones would you choose for me with what I do...

I'm basically leaning towards the Teins for a few reasons...I think they might be better for the drag racing I do, and the bling factor of the edfc is great...HOWEVER they're $650 more than the Buddy Clubs [$300 more not counting the EDFC] (at least at my price level)

from what you listed, get the buddy clubs all day. if you want to compare with tein, i think the RA would be an even better choice than the BC's. good luck

BTW, im putting on my JIC flt-a2's within the next 24 hours so if you wanna know how they are, ill leave a post

 

TTT

Making the decision tomorrow...please help.

 

which would you classify your car more as? a track car or daily driver? there you'll find your answer.

too bad you can't choose from any others, else i'd say go somewhere in between.

 

I've always been a fan of the saying, "If you're gonna go, go all out." I'd say go for the BC's. You'll get used to daily driving with them.

 

Buddy clubs hands down.

OK BC it is then...my only fear was that the BCs would have an adverse effect on drag launches...ahh the $600 i'm going to save will be nice..

 

you have pm

 

oh yeah, what spring rates do you suggest?

 

Buddy Clubs come with 12k front/8k rear

 

BC's are a good choice... more suspension then I will ever need, but they are on top of my list. There has been a few archived reviews on them and they faired out really, really well.

 

buddy club
no questions asked

 

im interested in the BSRS jdm civic, how much for the dc5 set

 

hey i want BC also! were do i go to get the set.

 

Here's a couple of sources for you:

not quite BC'c but i "actually have" JIC's. awesome coilovers for good-mild streets. anything worse they are just hell. but performance and quality are awesome. theyve been through rain and all sorts of crappy, sandy roads and still literally look brand new

 

As long as the car is not your daily driver get the BC's. If you do daily drive it, then get the Flex. Simple as that.

The BC is a far superior suspension, but not something I'd want to daily drive for several reasons.
