Buddy Club N1+ Damper kit

Anyone running them?

I see them for the 06+ Fit.. Will they fit on the 09 GE?

This is a daily driver but will have mods in the future to race it so i want adjustability on the Suspension setup.. Something that will ride smooth as stock for daily and something that will have agrresive settings for track or competition days.

Im thinking of going with this setup along with BC P1 SF Challenge Wheels..

Any input, good or bad will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Technically they will Fit, but spring rates are different. RSR makes a nice set of Coilovers for the GE.

RS-R Best-i Coilover Suspension GE6 GE8 Fit (Hard Spring Rate)

Any RSR distributor should be able to get them for you. Hit up Rob, he is a RSR dealer, im sure he can get them.

how much for these RSR coilovers? ftj did you happen to get a quote on them?

im really anticipating on the release of the buddyclub N+. ive heard so much good things about em. and the price is right too.

i know RSR is highly reputable but, the price factor is what gets me. if the price decent i might just go RSR.

well the HKS hipermax are a sweet set but the price is going to be where the rsr are.

the hipermax is priced at $1300-1550 depending on where you get them.

i needs me the buddys! if they dont come out in the next 6 months im going for the HKS.
