Buddy club is a decent coil for the street but those look like they been through hell. Get a new set and u can get a good coilover set for 1k like BC, FA, Tein etc.

For the buddy club coils, just email Buddy club USA. No need for rebuilds, they just send you a naked "cartridge". You then just reassemble your shock with the existing collars, top hats etc. I went through this process with a friend of mine not too long ago.

Those are Fing hammered looking. Ready for the trash. Springs and pistons look pitted, wet from leakage and looks like metal shavings caked everywhere! Must be an east coast car.

They are Buddy club race spec which is what ive been on for about 140k miles now and they have treated me extremely well, I have really nothing but positive things to say about them. But those look like they have been at the bottom of the sea for a year and no doubt they are blown out and ride like shit at this point. These are Buddy clubs mid level track/street coilover, substantially beefier then the base street N+ option they put out. These are $1500 coilovers and proven to me to be worth every penny of that. The damping range on these is excellent, coming with 10k springs as shown in your pics, and good for up to 14k springs without revalving which is what ive been on for the last 30-40k miles.

That's true for the N+, but the RSD is a rebound only adjuster with near zero cross talk into compression. I had them on my old RSX-S and researched them heavily around 10 years ago.

That's not been my experience with the RSD. They do indeed adjust both compression/rebound together. I found this to be optimum in a single adjustable. With the exception of the koni Yellow and possibly the Pss9, most of the single adjustable dampers are this way. With over 100k miles on my RSD, I find that the damping range and proportion between rebound and compression is pretty spot on for a single knob compromise. With the damper at full soft, I notice there is still enough rebound present to run this way without pogo, yet no perceivable compression damping, and as you turn it up, more compression starts to come into play to sharpen up the handling, wile rebound staying nominal until you get to about the top 1/3 of the clicks to full hard where both rebound/compression ramp up quickly. Out of the 15 clicks it gives you some nice range to dial in where you want rebound and compression to be, wile being versatile enough to run different spring rates without any internal re valving, which I found to be a nice selling point and has proven its function to me starting out with the Buddy Club equipped 10k springs for 2/3rds the mileage ive put on them, to finally switching to the max recommended 14k spring rates, which they handle them beautifully!

I also cant believe after the 8-9 years and over 100k miles with track time that none of these are perceivably weeping or requiring a rebuild! My Buddy had to rebuilt his KW v3 multiple times in half the time ive had these things.
