Buddyclub coilovers impression

[evo_dadi]

i just had it installed today and got it aligned right away also and all i can is WOW :shock: my old set up was just the stock struts with the tanabe gf210 which was kinda stiff and really bouncy specially on the freeway.but the stiffness on in the buddyclub is not jarring and it feels so much smoother.for now the dampening is set on 9 on the front and 7 at the back,it has about 15 levels of adjustment so there's more to try out.

now off to the fun run :twisted: going home taking highway 17 is much smoother and stable now not bouncy while turning.in my old set up it seemed to be hoping in some turns which was making it kinda shaky.too bad im not gonna be able to try them tomorrow at the doc wong driving clinic but i might have to do my own scenic drive one of these days :twisted:

Now you need to try them at thunderhill. :twisted:

evo dadi.. your car is an 03 right? i have the same springs on the stock struts.... how did the struts look... worn alot or in pretty good condition.. i'm trying to figure/plan when i'll need coilovers...

[evo_dadi]

mine was still in good condition and yep i have an 03.i decided to get the coilovers since my current set up was just plain unpredictable since you dont know when youre struts are gonna last and youre performance level starts going downhill.

[wrx2evo8]

i hear ya.. mine is 03 also so i figured it's probably time to start looking at coilovers.. i've always liked the tein flex with edfc setup... but then again i like the cusco zeroe setup... umm.. is it zero e? i havn't looked for awhile.. humm.. oh well....

Every inverted monotube strut has the dampening adjuster on the bottom.

hey , how or what did you do with the brake lines ? the buddy clubs don't have a brake line bracket behind the strut .... i really wanted the buddy clubs till i wondered about that .... ?

[evo_dadi]

tie wrapped it for now but im trying to rig up a mount or something to hook it on so it wont keep on rubbing on the struts.
