Default Coilovers

I'll be upgrading my suspension soon (blown shock) and i'm stuck between 3 coilovers, and would appreciate anyones input who has experience with either..

Either the Koni/Ground Control setup with 450/420 Spring rates

or

Buddy Club N+ or maybe the Racing Spec

I don't mind a stiff/noisy ride, I love it! I also plan on autox next year, once the payments are done.

Any info would be appreciated, this is one area I defiantly want to be sure of...

Also should mention I'm not looking to slam the car just get rid of some wheel gap!


Found this, thought it was pretty damn interesting, there's even a section on the track where the buddy club outperforms the KW...

I have had the buddy club n+ on my car for around maybe 5k including one autox day... body roll seems to be reduced a good amount and they have a really broad range for ur ride height so u can be anywhere in between slammed and 4x4. Fwiw I bought my set used for a good price and am happy with them for what I paid
