Buddy Club N+ coliover installed pics

Hey everyone, I just had the Buddy Club N+ Coilovers installed into my car at Wired. Here are some pics of D2, Cusco and Buddy Club coilovers. You guys can check them out and see which one suits your car. However, I feel that after having Buddy Club installed, there is better handling and less bouncy when I encounter bumps on the road.

So u adjust the ride height on the rear shock body on cusco coilovers? Or both the spring support & the shock body?

What is the spring rate on your N+?

Oh the Cusco's are not mine.. I just took a pic of all 3 to compare and show the differences between them. However, for the Buddy Club N+, to adjust the height, you have to adjust the spring support in the rear. I have lowered my ride by 1.5".

Spring rate? You mean what I think of it? I think its pretty good. Out of 5, I would give it a 4. The front can handle 8k and rear 6k.

I like the coilovers I have but if i had to get another set in the future id go with either skunk2, buddyclub, or KW. Most likely skunk2 because theyre in the usa.

After I installed the coilovers, I only drove my car 2x and plus no one in the back seats so I am not so sure about the rubbing problem. But it feels comfortable... like the stock shock and spring.

You have to use the stock endlinks because it doesnt come with it. Um... without any modifications? You mean without adjust the springs? If you dont adjust the springs, it can be like the stock ones (height). The lowest you can lower your car with these coilovers ir probably 2" or 2 1/4" I think. I'm not sure either, sorry :\ However, I lowered my car by 1.5"
