Tein or Buddyclub coilovers?

Lanki · 03-20-2008, 04:48 PM

Tein Basic/SS Coilovers or Buddyclub N+? I saw a thread about th Tein SS having bad handling than stock. I wanna lower my car and have a smooth ride as well as good handling. What's everyone's thoughts on it?

buddyclub N+ will not be smooth at all, they could be the stiffest ones out for our car right now.

dont spend that much money on Tein Basics, just get some springs and lower your car with them. that will lower your car and keep it relatively smooth.

u cant have best of both world man, u have to give up something for a other, if u want a nice drop with smooth ride get spring , or u want handling then get coilover but it ride stiff

Mugen SS are pretty smooth, it's not much rougher over bumps. Handling saw a nice improvement. I highly recommend.

Over those two I would go for the buddy clubs.

yea when i had the buddy club n+ they were pretty stiff, i was riding on 15/15 on front and rear, but think about how stiff the rsd`s would be. i would say buddy club > tein.

how are the buddyclubs with handeling? i know they are not as good as a set of koni's and that koni is a better choice but are they one of the better coilovers right now ? when puting them up against tein,ksport,skunk2....

On paper, the Buddy Clubs look better than the rest of them. I like their shock dynos better because they have a little more low speed damping which is better for handling. All of the OTS coilovers (except SK2 because they don't have dynos yet) have too much high speed damping which makes big bumps compress the spine.
