im looking to buy coilovers... but im new to this so im not sure which to get... prices are relatively the same (tein is slightly more expensive)

so which is better? the buddy club racing spec coilovers? or tein cs? which is more adjustable height wise?

eugene

 

I have the Tein RA and love them. They have 16 settings and I'm dropped about 2". The BC's will let you slam the car, but only have like 6 settings. Tein has a facility in SoCal so if anything did go wrong I could just drive down and get them serviced. I'm not sure if BC has a facility in the states yet. If you plan to do agressive driving get the RA or RS as they have 10k spring rates. The CS have lower(softer) spring rates which may rub if you go with bigger wheels. Hope this helps.

 

The one that is better is the one that best suits your tastes. I opted for the Tein RA's also and I am very happy with them. Dropped about 2 inches also with the settings set to what Tein reccommends. The ride is surprisingly close to stock even with my 18's. Handling is excellent.

now im lookin at the ra's as well...

because the springs are independent from ride height... arent buddy clubs better? otherwise.. .they seem pretty similar to me

 

Tein RA here and love them. No complaints so far and the ride is not bumpy at all.
