My pet peeve with the Bilstein although very nice is that the coilovers are not height adjustable from the shock body, its only height adjustable by spring perch. The problem with this design is the lower you go, the more suspension travel you sacrifice for the lower height, example, 2" drop means you lose 2" of actual suspension travel. Setups like the Buddy Club N1+ allows you to slam the car low but still have every mm of suspension travel unaffected (well until your hard parts hit the ground) because the shock body length can be shortened without dropping the spring perch.

just not feelin china made ...
hmmmmmmm ......
From what I read the buddy club is very street friendly. Also the buddy club stuff aren't made in china, they are made in Japan. Ksport, Apexi and D2 are all made in Taiwan though.

I used BC coilovers before (no not buddy clubs) and switched to TEIN Super Compact.
Even though the BC's adjusters is via the shockbody compared to the TEIN's adjustment via Spring Perch, I couldn't be more happier with the result.
With our streets here in PH, for a DD, a soft spring rate + stiff shock combo would be the best. But i tell you, i won't recommend it for hardcore tracking as it is too soft for that purpose. Ow well that is why it is called "Super Street" :lol:
