Just fyi the N+ come with 10k/8k spring rates. These should be 10k front and rear.

HRM. I contacted buddy club USA to ask them about the spring rates. The rep said they should be 10/8 for the race spec dampers as well

Have you personally ran these coilovers? I have only compared them to the CR struts and shocks that I recently sold here at s2ki. They rode much better than the CRs on the street, but I would say the buddy clubs did not handle larger bumps/dips as well as the CR suspension. I was also able to run faster lap times with the RSDs. Other than that I have no comparisons. Do you have any input on these by any chance?

Yes, im on them currently. Been on the same set for about 10 years. Had them serviced at 160k miles. I removed the 10k springs about 100k mark and been running them with 14k swifts. The N+ street coilover has 10k up front and 8k rear. The RSD came with 10k all around and is dampened out of the box to accept up to 14k without re valving. The RSD is far more robust and actually great compromise for street/track. I've always felt they are a top of the mark for a single adjustable coilover for performance and money spent.

Thank you for the input. A friend of mine looked at me funny when I thought that the RSDs performed better than the CR setup. But hopefully someone will take a look at this and want to pick them up!

How long have you had the car and how many miles have you put on them since buying it?
