Anyone with Buddy Club N+ or Racing Spec Dampers?

Has anyone put these on their Si coupe yet? I was wondering how different the RSD and N+ are relative to each other. There are lots of DC5 guys with the N+ but the guys with RSDs seem to be hiding somewhere, probably on the track, but anyways what are your experiences with them?

I have the N+ Coilovers on my Si Coupe and love them more and more every day. If you search Buddy Club N+ Coilovers, I wrote a little review and showed some pictures in there also. These coilovers are more for street use, maybe a little track use. The RSDs are basically for hardcore trackers, so its basically up to what you are needing and looking for.

Thanks for the review, very informative and it helped me out. I've found a fair amount of info on the N+ now. Anyone with the RSD any input at all, if you use them on the street, would be greatly apreciated! From what I've found it looks like the adjustment is only for rebound, so therefore you could not adjust the damper's 'bump' for soft street use during the work week around town. I know that either of the two would make the ride much harder and it's not designed for comfort.

As an example: there are some bridges and on/off ramps in my city with corners on them that have a sort of washboard effect that sends my old bouncing 5th gen's rear end sideways if taken at speed. I wonder if the RSDs would be able to get me around those corners safely. Even at the posted speed limit this stuff happens on some of them, I'm not sayin I hit them like a maniac.

Anyway, input please before I drop a month's living expenses on them??
