Hey Y'all,

Just wanted to let everyone know that even though we confirmed existing GE coilovers will fit the GK, Buddyclub just released a GK specific kit for those planning to purchase new kits and register for warranty;

BC02-NP15GK5

Here are pictures installed on a BRAND SPANKING NEW White Orchard Pearl GK!

Who else has N+'s on their GK's already? Post them up!

 

where can we get more info on these? googled the part# and nothing came up. also, the Buddy Club USA site isn't built yet

dampening adjustable? spring rates? pillowball mounts?

 

Heard that the website is almost done (been like a million years right?) But for any questions, please call Albert Tang @ 909.923.9188. The part # was just designated by Buddyclub USA last week so it'll b awhile b4 every updates their inventory :-p

 

Nice. The Fit looks great low. I'm glad that there are options available.

 

yea, mos def! You GK guys are pretty lucky!!! It felt like i had to beg and plead with companies while throwing myself and GE to their mercy like a dirty whore just to them to RnD GE parts!!!

Now... if only people actually commented and showed interest

 

If produced will these be available for shipping to Canada?

 

That looks awesome! Where can I buy?!?

 

Does this mean all GE Coilovers will fit the GK? I've always gone with kSports in the past with an old EF hatchback and Scion. Are these dampening adjustable?

 

yessir! if you're interested, please contact Albert Tang @ 909.923.9188 to figure out shipping info.

you should have local dealers in your area, but just call Albert Tang @ Buddy club and he can let you know who to go thru!

Yes and no... obviously I can only vouch for the Buddy club N+'s since i haven't physically tested out other companie's C/O's but keep in mind that you should always get the right parts for the right car. When we swapped my old GE suspension onto our CRZ for a quick test fit, a customer saw us do that and postwhored all over the CRZ forums that the GE coilovers fit directly onto the CRZ, but that wasn't the case. Yes, they fit physically onto the car, but the rear strut was sooo compressed that all of the owners who tried to use GE coilovers on their ZF1 (CRZ) kept blowing out their struts and tried claiming warranty thru Buddy club.

So all in all, if ure buying brand new coilovers, just get the new set designated for the GK (BC02-NP15GK5) so that you have peace of mind. If you're bargain hunting and MECHANICALLY INCLINED (no n00bz plz) and not afraid of modifying parts to fit, then pick up a used GE set (that's NOT blown) and install that! Make sure you dial in the proper preload, strut height and length too!

 

My bad man, i don't know why i didn't see your post earlier!

So for the GK N+'s, the dampers have 15 levels of adjustment and the usual factory setup is 8K front and 6K rear. This set does NOT come with pillowball mounts.

If you're interested or need more information, feel free to contact Albert @ 909.923.9188! Thanks!

 

Will there be a set with pillowball mounts that will be available later?

 

We love the buddy club coilovers... amazing quality

 

Has anyone ever dynoed these struts? Linear or digressive valving?

 

Anyone ever answer these questions? How do these and K Sports compare?

 

Hi,
I like the ride height with your setup.

It looks like you posted this about a year ago. Have you enjoyed the these coilovers over last 12 months? How is the ride? Is the spring/shock combo on these coilovers more at the sport or race level?

I am just trying to figure out where these fit with respect to other types of suspensions. I had a 7th gen Civic with Tein coilovers and that was a good daily driver ride. Now I have GD3 Honda Fit with H&R Sport springs and Tokico shocks and they are good also.

I just want to see your suspensions fits in this spectrum as I was considering to get GK5 at some point and I kind of like to explore the aftermarket options before I make any decisions.

Thanks.

 

Anyone know the spring rates? Also curious how the KSports compare.

 

^The spring rates are listed a few posts up.

 

Yup, I'm blind lol

 

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too low. They look fantastic, but the height is completely unusable anywhere in the mid-west.

 

My first Fit was this low.

I drove it in the midwest (middle of nowhere in Wisconsin to be more accurate).

My Integra was lower.

I drove it in the midwest (even more middle of nowhere Wisconsin).
