A few more questions for owners of these setups:
[LIST]

[*] How many miles do you get before a rebuild is needed?

[*] How well do the coilovers stand up to the weather?

Apart from height adjustability, what's the advantage of having coilovers over springs?

and for any spring/shock combo except coilovers, this goes true... unless you go and get a custom setup.

I have nothing but positive thoughts in regards to my Buddy Clubs. I will agree with all of the good comments already posted above and will add one more.


Mine have over 35k miles on them and they still perform as good as when I installed them.

They haven't been rebuilt and have stood up to all of the Houston area potholes without even flinching.

No signs of rusting yet...
Never dealt with customer service..


GO BUDDY CLUB!!!

How do the bilstien PSS systems stack up? My car is a daily driver that is driven somewhat agressively, some of the time, but I am looking to put 18's on and definitly would have to reduce some of the gap. I would definitly want something with a longer service interval that 5000-15000 miles.
