Dc2R coil overs

[JDM DC2R]

Been looking into coil overs. Brands like gab SS ,Hsd and yellow speed racing Dynamic Pro.

Budged would be 1500 ish.

My questions are.

#Are they worth the money or should i spend more if i want quality and something that will last.
#Spring rate for some one who cares soley on performance, track at Wakefield then street comfort.
#suggestion of brands?

Thanks any input will be great.

Heard a lot of good about GAB SS..... Should be relatively comfortable given the spring rates..... :)

Buddy Club Racing Spec Damper - I think it's around your budget. I use it for circuit racing, I love them! 4years now and no issues

GAB SS are also worth the money. HSD has some very bad reviews

P.s, highly reccommend talking to BYP. Their knowledge on different suspension's at Wakefield is very good.
good luck bro,

I can supply H.Drive N1 coilovers for $1150 or R Spec for $1650. Will suit your budget nicely and spring rates can be set to your specs

what spring rates should i be looking at?

[stndrd]

If it is a track car look at something like 16/12

bc br series are around $1500 and are well worth it

bc br series are around $1500 and are well worth it

buddyclun n+ are around same price but better in terms of street comfort but doesnt go as low as bc br (if lows is your thing)

[Vvvtec]

Buddyclub n+ are pretty lame. Heard the racing specs are fairly decent though.

Silvers Neomax $1150
Buddyclub N+ $1294
Buddyclub Racing Spec Damper $1795

*Few of the fastest time attack honda in Australia are running a Buddyclub Racing Spec Damper *

OT please remember that both of these coilovers are purely made from Taiwan companies. 'Expect' head aches from direct Taiwan companies regardless of there promise on warranty. My experience on a past Taiwan suspension company was a headache and the distributor's best result was a 10% discount on his other suspension range. This is if you intend racing

The most vital fact about Taiwan coilovers is that they have uneven tuning between shocks (Dampening clicks uneven/not consistent), but that's a different story so we'll stick to that.

Buddy Club/Tein/Spoon/Zeal etc is a Japanese "tuning" company and offer great genuine service and is financially stable to offer cost effective replacements and rebuilds for there products if they fail, within reason of-course. Tuning companies do their best to make their customers win. Stick to companies like that

Don't go outright buying competition suspension, not understanding how to adjust the bump and rebound will make the purchase totally impractical.

Mainly aimed to the newbies that plan to buy coilovers
good luck,

Unfortunately Buddyclub is made in Taiwan ... ever since their bankruptcy!

Gab SS is probably the most suited in your budget and use. Buddyclub RSD are good for the track, but quite aggresive on street use ...

False.

There were manifests that came out when the whole "Skunk2 saga" errupted last year that showed that buddy club were made in taiwan, along with entry level tein and a few other larger names.

Dont knock the product just because of where it is made. A large bulk of automotive products from bearings to water pums etc are made in taiwan

Understood, thank you

I have a set of BC BR coilovers on my DC2R, probably been on the car for around 3 years now. Reliable, very comfortable ride at 9 clicks and sitting much lower than stock height. I'd recommend them since they're only $1199 now.
