Buddyclub N+ Coilovers?

rei · #1 (**permalink**) 07-11-2007, 09:05 AM

I havent really noticed anyone running these? I dont want to mess with springs. I know Buddyclub makes a great coilover, so why isnt anyone on them? $1075 is the best price I've found, anywhere cheaper out there?

I've also wondered this same thing... I've heard good things about them on other Honda applications, but haven't heard much of anything about them here.

i believe its because you have to modify them for the NA Fit. Not a whole lot of work, but it seems like no one really wants to mess with it.

I kno that alot of s2000 owners had problems with these leaking? I wonder if it is the same for the fit?

hmm.. I thought I read somewhere that they do fit USDM Fits w/o modifaction.

I guess T1Rs are the only thing out there worth buying. I really didnt want to pay more than how much the Buddyclubs are.

they were pulled from the us market by buddy club to be redesigned

im guessing due to fitment issues

any word on when they will be available or what the fitment issue was? I need some coilovers

The fitment issue was just a guess. im not sure exactly why they got pulled. Back in May i was told it could be as long as 6 months until they are available again

I see they are available for purchase at Nopi.com, they were in stock when I called the price was lower than $1k.

The only thing that kills it for me is the spring rates, if I remember correctly I read somewhere that the Fit Buddy Club N+ coilovers were 10k at the front, 12k at the rear. That would be a strictly track setup, those spring rates on the street will be very rough.

Then again, if I remember correctly, you can order different spring rates, so you could order a set of springs for street use and use the 10k/12k setup for the track.

I've read nothing but good things about buddy club coilovers for track use.
