I bought my buddyclub coilover in wirednj. But i think you can get it anywhere from the suppliers that carry them. But i heard that they only made 10 sets of coil overs for now to see the market reaction.

How much lower can you go in the rear? On this pic it looks like you can lower another 2.5 inch.

Sorry to kind of hi-jack this thread

I noticed that my N+ are different to yours (Aus spec jazz/JDM) and the part that is circled in the displayed pic is completely adjustable on the thread. Not being clued up in all things suspension related, what exactly does that connect to?

I was all set to install it and then I saw that and wondered wtf it was and why I hadn't seen that on any any pics of the N+. I don't know if it comes down to us having 2 different models in terms of USDM and JDM or if its something else that I have?

Let me know if you want a pic of mine to get an idea of what I'm talking about.

I stole your pic and edited it

What is the spring rate on your N+?
i believe the cuscos would be a preload adjustment of some sort

8k linear front, 6k progressive rear

SO sick, I have a set of these for the GE with like 50 miles on them that I'm trying to sell. Great coilovers.

I just put mine in today and I'm trying to figure out how to lower the front. Any Buddy Club owners know how to? I've been searching and can't find anything.

The entire shock threads into the lower portion of the front coil over.

Can I lower it without taking off the setup? Cuz I did it for the back and it was extremely easy. Sorry first time doing coils and the japanese instructions didn't really help lol

^yes, you can lower the fronts, you should be able to spin the strut into the bottom.

Is it popping when you are when both rolling and sitting still... If it is only when you are rolling you may need to pull the boot from the CV joint and reassemble it correctly... The balls can fall out of place if the axle shaft becomes overextended ... When I helped Amanda install her Swift Springs I had that happen but I was able to manipulate things into place without removing the boot..... If you tried to remove the anti sway bar link without using an allen wrench to hold the bolt and keep it from turning you have messed up the link and it will need to be replaced by a new one... It will pop like crazy even when going in a straight line over the slightest bump on stock springs but with the stiffer springs and dampers set for a firm ride it may take a larger bump or a sharp turn to cause a noise from in.... You also could have not gotten the nut on top of the shaft tightened enough... I haven't installed my front coil overs yet so I am not aware of anything else that could be causing you a problem... Please post what you had to do to fix the problem when you figure out what it is... Murphy's law is sure to come into play when installing new parts with instructions printed in Japanese.
