which coilover would you say is better. Im looking into either buddy club N+ or Ksports Kontrol Pro coilovers. My friends run Ksports on there VWs and so far they havent had any problems, but they mostly run them because they go very low. If anyone could shed some light on this topic that'd be great.

Both are good coilovers but it come down to what you plan on doing with the car.....
How do you plan on using the car?

mostly daily but i do want to try some autox

UMS Tuning

you would fine with either unless you started doing some serious auto-x.....

well... what are you wanting the coilover for. handling, being slammed/looks ???

Ksports had a really poor reputation/quality when they first came out, multiple reports of blown shocks/leaking seals. i am not such i would trust my life to such a product. google it.

i have not heard anything bad yet about buddy club's coilovers and a quick google search does not come up with anything after 3 pages

ericbarber

thanks a lot for taking the time to look that one up. Im gonna opt for the buddy club N+

i had ksports on my old car, they were a good buy for the buck but if ur gonna do heavy amount of tracking id look for somethin better

imo i think it matters more if you get the specific coilover valved for what you intend to use it. im too lazy to link it but i read in the competition forum that a guy had revalved his ksports specifically for road race. i imagine buddyclub us could probably do the same if you opt for those.

ericbarber

hmm i never thought about that perhaps a link would be cool.

if you search for member phoenixr34...

you will find out, he used Ksports to great sucess on his s2000........

Ksport had a quality issue about 4 years ago...it has been resolved for a long time. I used to different sets on my Integra track car...The shop EVO is on Ksports....
