Hey, Jason. This just crossed my mind. When the N+ coilovers are finally released, the product that everyone will be buying will not be the same product that we have. Just my input, that's all.

here is a friendly little mountain jog me and another fellow fit member did a while back
YouTube - N/A BATTLE *DOWNHILL*

i had the dampers on 8/15 front and 10/15 rear. All i have is the coils and BF Goodrich super sports (All Season) 205/50/15

the recording car had lowering springs, Front+Rear sway bar, upgraded pads, and BF G-Sports, i think the tires are same spec but possibly 45s not 50. The higher amount of grip made it easy to catch me on corners but anyway i just posted to show the overall behavior of the car. It's very easy to handle and predictable. My current setup is ALMOST towards neutral steering but i tried it with the front stiffer and it made the car understeer too much for my taste.

oh!! please disregard the name of the video, was definitely not my first choice.. no offense. lol

Do the buddy club coilovers make any sort of noise when driving/going over bumps? I really like them except the locations missing for the brakeline and abs sensor! Where did you get them?

Do these coilovers reach stock ride height or higher? Do they have adjustable camber plates?

the rear is a bit lower, the front stays quite high. front has camber "holes" where the shocks mount to the control arm or whatever

OK, so I plan on ordering a set of coilovers soon. Buddy Club is what I came up with, but, with out pictures or ride height it's pretty hard to decide. For me anyways....
I figure I can have the stance with mild performance from Skunk2, or mild stance with great performance from Buddy Club. So ultimately, i would like to see pics of your guys' car's and how they sit? What are the coils set at in each peticular picture. Any help/advice/pics would be great!
TIA

Dont mean to threadjack... but mild performance with Skunks? The skunks perform awesome on the track, and also come with adjustable endlinks to fine tune with a sway bar

I would say the clubs dont perform up to SK2s c/o. They are a balance between street and track use so they're more comfortable. I think it's a perfect balance for my preference, i can't stand a DD that rides really bad and this rides smooth enough, they still get a little unsettled on potholes and bad roads but they absorb enough to call it a borderline comfortable ride. They have body roll on comfortable damper settings but turn it up and DEEMN it gets flat!

So I decided to go with a set of Stance coilovers... so far they have gone low enough(serious tire rubbage) they are stiff enough for the track but comfy enough for the street. they are 15-way adj. front is on bottom rear is on top. I just need to get some more rear camber and lower it a tad more, then she'll be sitting just the way i want
