I am looking into the buddy club racing spec coilovers or the N+ system. Any members have any experience with these coilovers and/or willing to give me a ride in their car? I want to feel the difference between stock suspension and a coilover system. Thanks in advance.

What is the N+ system? Depending on the system, most likely the difference is a stiffer ride and height adjustment. What is your reasoning for upgrading?

 

I have Buddy Clubs. Dan's right about the stiffer ride and adjustability. Completely useless if you're just getting this for the street.

 

Maybe he is talking about the Apexi setup ?

Give us a little more info so we can help you.

Depending on what the suspension is setup like you may not notice much
difference at all from stock ride.

 

The s2k stock handles awesome don't get me wrong. I am looking for a little stiffer ride and want the car to sit lower. I could easily do this with a set of springs but my suspension has 54K on it. The N+ suspension from buddy club is under 1000$ and supposedly very good. I don't need anything fancy as this is mostly for street.

To me, the motor has plenty of usable power and is not worth going FI. I just want my car to handle insane (so i can fly off the road even faster than I can now). So my goal for the spring time is suspension and wider tires/wheels.

 

If a well handling S is what you're after then the Buddy Club coilovers will definitely suit you. However, I'm not sure how much they'll benefit everyday street driving. In any case, be sure to get an alignment and corner weighting done when you're done installing them to get the full effect.

As for me, they gave me the adjustability I wanted but due to the fact that NYC is full of red lights, potholes and police I could not feel a huge difference in handling compared to the Neuspeed springs that were on the car when I bought it.

 

I can see how NYC is not meant for coilovers. I just think the mileage on my stock susp.(54K) is too high for springs.

 

Good coilovers will make a big difference if you plan on tracking the car. You would want a set that you can adjust not only the ride height but the dampening and compression also.

For the street you can just use a set of lowering springs. Shop around for a used set of fairly new stock shocks if yours are shot.

 

i have the tein flex which arent too expensive, i dont really have anything good or bad to say about the suspension but if i had the edfc i would probably be happier with them
