Buddy Club N+ Coilovers

OK. So I've got it narrowed down to either Kbee coilovers, Buddy Club N+ Coilovers, D2 coilovers, or springs.

I have most of the info I need on everything except the Buddy Clubs.

Anyone have them? How do they ride? How low do they go? Spring rates?


and most importantly...PICS PLEASE

They're not released yet for the USDM fit. Spring rates are 8k/6k.

Should be another month or so til they're ready for release

I need an advice

Hello!I'm new here. I've been browsing tons of forums for an idea of what to do. I was laid off from my job about 3 month ago. I've been looking for a job since then, but did not even get a single interview. I worked as a web designer for a publishing company for the last 5 years. Looks like www.fitfreak.net is an active forum with active members and may be someone has some experience working as a freelance web designer. May be "https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-suspension-brakes/40715-buddy-club-n-coilovers.html#post621695" category is not the most appropriate for this question, but I want to try anyways to get some opinions before I go ahead with my life. I'm wondering if it is possible in the current economy to find work for a freelance web designer and make enough to pay for rent and groceries. I was able to find a small project on craigslist and I developed a website for a company. It was a small project and took me only a week to complete. I got paid $800 for 1 week of work which is not bad. Please people give me some ideas. I have 2 kids and my wife is out of work as well. Thank you in advance.
