Coilovers for Jazz

[integraz]

I would like to know what coilovers are available for the Jazz?

What I have found are:
Tein super compact
Spoon sports
Buddyclub N+

Any other standout coilovers, that are really good?

Don't mind a firm ride.

Will be used 95% street, 5% track.

[mars_panas]

tell you the truth those are the only one's i know as well

[EGB18CT]

t1r (type one racing) in the usa and i think k sport make some if ur on a budget, bein super street or basic for just height adjustable, go with the buddy clubs i reckon.

[MRFIT]

I use to have HKS coilovers, they were great, worth looking into.... :)

[noodleman27]

tein are pretty soft....

theres heaps out there...depending on the price

ultimate would be js racing crux but thats very very stiff- just under $6k

toda is very firm 7k front and rear - $3k5
Ohlin DFV - $2k5, but rear is not height adjustable
theres also hks, cusco, GAB, T1R, Mugen etc

[vanishingpoint]

HKS hypermax pro are good. but its gonna be expensive >.< hehe
i think i have a fren selling buddy club coilovers, but im not sure which model he has.

[crazyray]

hey there

i have a set of buddy club N+ for sale

check out the for sale section

thanks

[unluvedboi]

PM the lowest price you will go ray, conditions, how low can it go frm stock? cheers

[MUGENJ]

Im after some coilovers too.. whats good for everyday driving and not too expensive?

[crazyray]

what is ur price range....

[MUGENJ]

< $1000

[crazyray]

should be able to get some second hand ones for around that price...

[MUGENJ]

will that $$ incl fitting aswell? cos im abit tite with my budget atm..

[integraz]

Depending on what coilovers though.

Because fitting will be around $200 ish. - so that leaves $800.

So instead I would think about going for springs instead, for a cheaper option and easy way to get your car lowered.

Well I think ill be going for the buddyclub N+, J's racing, or HKS, depending on what is available, but Buddyclub seems the easiest.

Thanks guys, love Hondas plenty of parts to choose from.

[noodleman27]

also you will need to do wheel alignment after putting on coilovers

[integraz]

Will I also need a J's racing Roll Center Adjuster? or not necessary?

[crazyray]

that is not necessary but that part alone is another 400 to 500 plus installation....

[chinesewhisperz]

will that $$ incl fitting aswell? cos im abit tite with my budget atm..

just save up a little more & make do with your current suspensions. no point in rushin out purchasing something you'll regret later on.

[MUGENJ]

yeah that's true!!

[noodleman27]

do it once...do it right!!

[crazyray]

otherwise buy first and then fit...

why not buy something at a bargain first...

[wtfhax]

i think there's TEIN SUPER WAGON coilovers too

[noodleman27]

tein only make super compact for jazz now, no more super wagon

[aznpsuazn]

I don't understand what motivates you to buy a jazz when you're going to take it on the track. Then what motivates you to put coilovers on it? You want to spend $2k for something you're going to do 5&#37; of the time?

Honestly i think you're wasting your money. Coilovers for street is crap unless you drive like a hoon. Nobody likes coilovers on crappy Hume and Canterbury. Fact!

[integraz]

What's the point of putting on a larger turbo, when the speed limit is only 110.

What's the point of putting on an air intake when its gonna give you 2-5kw max and spending up to $1000 on one.

What's the point of modifying a Honda civic in NA form.

If you suggest that I don't buy coilovers, then I should either leave it stock or buy full sick King springs dump my ride, and let my shocks sag. okay then.

Honestly, I think modifying cars is just a waste of money.

I'm not sure if that's some crafty sarcasm or not but you've answered your own questions.

Firstly, not everyone modifies their car for practical, sensible uses. Lots of people like to put on pathetically sized turbos and pump out huge numbers just to extend certain regions of their body.

Other people modify their cars to suit purpose. You can not justify coil-overs for your car, and if you think "5%" is just, simply is not. In the end, it is your money, and i don't really care what you do with it (obviously). I just like to advise, that if you do purchase them, you won't be getting your $2000 worth.

[kelvinthai]

I think its best you go something not so hard first. Heard buddy n+ is like bumpy ride. However its up to the individual so do some research but 1k with fitting wont get you anything decent.

Dont get the king spring. It lower your car but you cannot take any passenger as it will scrap~ Badly. i remember tire burnt smell. He swap to a coilover immi.

integraz : we got no place to burn our money :p modifying is a passion. If you notice. Why a tube like a air intake can generate higher KW or sound? doesnt that fascinate you? Every slight things you does change the way it works. Its a passion to create our identities on the road. Some like to be loud and some like smooth ride. Why come here and spoil our passion and vision when you dont have one? Seek one yourself, go collect some stamp.

how much are buddyclun N+

[hoey888]

but anybody used/using the J's racing Roll Center Adjuster? What does it exactly do and how does it benefit you?

It is designed to raise the front roll-center geometry by using new specially engineered ball-joints and tie rod ends while still maintaining original steering geometry.

This improves weight distribution, maintains a better camber angle and ultimately improves front grip. The overall outcome is significantly reduced understeer through reduced front wheel compression, as well as improved steering feel, steering precision and vehicle stability.

This Kit is a must for lowered vehicles its kind of pointless to use for standard height car.:)
