So i hit a speed bump at night really hard (sign was blocked by a tree completely) and when i checked the next morning the left front coilover spring had broken into 2. The coilovers are buddyclub N+ spec dampers. Not sure what to do as no one sells a pair of fronts separately. Is finding another spring and changing the fronts to differet springs with similar measurement be possible? or mix and matching a different brand of coilovers for the fronts while having the buddyclubs in the rears? Have searched the web and cant find buddyclub springs nor does the UK website post to australia.

Just change to another brand spring with similar spring rates.

Swift spring upgrade

wouldnt upgrade the spring rates.. dampers will probably shit themselves quick


best bet is to try and find dead n+ with the same spring rate and use the springs off them

Wut? What kind of cheap arse Springs snap in half from one hit? That should never happen.
Probably damaged the damper too (smashed foot valve, bent shaft etc.)

Pull the coil over out and strip /inspect. Then buy a pair of new Springs (eibach / kings are good brands ). You can change spring rates probably +/- 20% without going too far out of the damper spec.

They're buddyclub n+. $1600 brand new from JDMyard. I have receipts from previous owner and they are quite an old set. Prior to the accident they handled very well, I guess age took its toll.
