BC settings currently used.
Default Ride Height.
Front/Rear 5/3
First impressions of the Buddyclub RS are great. Even at this very soft setting the car feels much more planted than my previous stock shock/hks spring combo.
It feels much more comfy going over uneven roads even.
I will let the suspension settle in awhile more and then go for a more aggressive ride height (there is about 40-50mm i could still drop easily!) and damping rate.
I wanna try run 8/6 probably. I have the back softer cause i want a stickier rear set up for street use....
Cant wait to get more road time with these babies.
those with buddyclub RS, what settings are u guys using?

Brake Rotors made by the oddly named company 'Athelete' from Japan. They are more famed for being the OEM manufcaturer for larger companies such as Nismo for example. Front is 300mm. Rear is 280mm. Fits OEM Nissin Calipers with no hassle. No chance to to try out performance... Im willing to bet they feel the same as stockers anyway hehehe...looks pretty sweet tho huh?


Sorry for the crap quality pics...

Set the dampers to 1/1 front and back to let them break-in for a week.

Oh really?? I din't do that. I currently have mine set to 12 front and 10 rear. Thus far its the only setting I have tried that gets rid of that floaty feeling. I'm interested to hear what others have theirs set at.

Kids2000 welcome to the club buddy.

What's up with the surface finish on the rotors? Looks like they were polished with something too abrasive or something, leaving swirls...or imperfections.
