hey guys, i am looking into coilovers for my FD, ill mostly be using them for canyon roads, and the occasional drag. Also this wont be my daily driver, so if they are violently stiff, great ! So far ive narrowed it down to Knightsports, Cusco, and JICs. ive ridden in JIC's in a FC and was impressed, but theres always that doubt...anyways give me some feedback on the coilovers thing, thanks!

 

how did you narrow it down to those?

prolly word o mouth...theyre all good though - its tough depending on what you really want from a coilover



look at the options and adjustability and the spring rates

 

HKS if you want to do drag.

JIC are good bang for the buck but you will need to add a spacer in between the pillow ball and bump stop to prevent it from denting the hood.

Custcos are nice but I doubt you will get a good price on them.

I have JIC SF1's and personally if I were to buy over I would get Buddy Club's or HKS HD2's for $1500

Personally I dont like Tein, Tanabe, Cusco or JIC, but thats just me.



I have driven on them all. Apexi are nice, HKS new style is nice, old style is a lot like the above, when you tune them hard they get bouncy NOT stiff. I havent rode on BUDDYCLUB, but I have a set in stock going on the FD hehe



Knightsports---Never really saw anyone use them. Nor have I heard any reviews on them. Doesnt mean they are bad, probably just pricey and not a big name.

 

Oh man, you get all the good stuff! Please post a review or better yet bring your car and let me test drive.

 

hehe thanks... I want to drive it too. Plates will go after get back from Cali this time. Its too damn hot to be in it right now anyway over here with no A/C hehe



Althought the women love it hehe



GORACER--Nice Advatar hehe

 

does anyone know what the buddyclubs are like?

 

are those buddy club's inverted ?

 

ok now im looking at the buddy clubs, jics, apex and cuscos.....AHH this is driving me crazy, more feedback pls....
