the JRZs are amazing, I think they ride better than stock in most conditions... With my Tein S-Tech full bodied springs, I think that (besides a weird clonking that might have nothing to do with the JRZs, or might be them hitting the rear sway bar lightly) it's hard to tell the car isn't stock until you throw it into a corner.

How do you like your Buddy Clubs? I mean I really dont want to shell out 4000 for coilovers I dont think Im gonna get the full use out of. Its a hard decision but I am glad Im getting all this feedback.

How much are the BC's vs the single adjustable JRZ's from elda?
The JRZ's are like $2400 or something, correct?

The triples are around $3500.

The BCs are considerably slower around the track after the 3rd lap or so. They don't have enough fluid capacity in the rear and tend to overheat very quickly, which makes the tuning of the little needle valve go arwy and things just get ugly from there. The advantage of the high dollar shocks is that they use a shim stack for much more precise and consistent control over valving. It can have a much wider range over different piston shaft speeds, which gives both better bump absorption (high speed shock events) and roll control and transition (low speed shock events). The JRZs not only ride better but also perform much better than the cheaper coilovers.

Well what about the Street? Like say im not worried about going to the Track at all. Are they Adjustable to the point where they are streetable then to the point of going to the track? Sorry if these have been answered already in my thread but I'm just not sure if there worth the extra $1500 if I'm really not worried about going to the Track

I'd say Apex'i N1 damper, Mugen Moton suspension, or the Toda suspension setup.

I like the stock setup though. The shocks are made by Showa for Honda and remember they are pretty damn good. What others 33,000 dollar cars do you see equipped with remote reservoirs in the rear shocks? I'd like to see OE Honda springs that maybe lower it 1-1.5 inches?
