Default Buddy Club raccing spec damper........installed :p

had it installed yesterday, couldnt be happier, i had my eibach pro with stock shock before i replace it with the BC's. the standard setup is perfect, but i will lower my car to no gap between fenders and tires. ride quality is still soft enough for daily driving with 1 adjustibility front and rear. ill try 15 all around and try it on hard turn again tomorrow .

comments, opinion, concern or question is welcome.

No, the ride is not softer that stock IMO. With stiffer springs it's hard for that to happen. But...

I run them at 4 all around, and that seems decent on the road. But it is more rough. Particularly, on roads that have 1" pot holes.

FYI, when I received my Buddy Clubs:
1) The preload wasn't locked. By this I mean the rings were loose and I had to tighten them together at slightly less than 0 preload.
2) The height was arbitrary. The rings weren't locked, and the height was spinning out of the box. I had to spend time measuring and getting the height accurate. I ended up doing a 20mm (0.8") drop.

Just keep that in mind. I was going to post some info on the Buddy Clubs.. i.e. how many turns equals how many millimeters, etc. How to measure drop.. What is stock height, etc. I'll type that up soon.
