yep, tein SS is really just for lowering your car imo, it is a stiffer then stock obviously, but if you have any tracking in mind, or even mountain driving I think they will disappoint you, I got a set on my car atm, and I cant wait to upgrade to buddyclud N spec or Race spec
can't you just change the springs and get the shocks re-valved if they're too soft?
also just remember super stiff suspension doesn't equal good handling, quite often it's your tyres that ain't up to scratch.
hmmm guys im understand that buddyclub n+ cant fit ek? is that correct?
if not where may i grab some please casue i know none of ozhonda traders sell them, so yeah a website or a place would be nice. thanks
They do fit eks mate, i think jdmyard sells them. Have a look there
having too stiff of suspension on street/mountain driving may even cause less handling/grip cos of bumps, if ur on track it doesnt have many or any bumps at all and the track suspension will be good but on street cos they so stiff, if u hit a bump ull lose traction (no shock travel i think thats wat they call it ?)
^^^ yeah pretty much, couple that together with the fact that aussie roads are shit compared to japan roads, then it should be easy to understand why alot of jap coilovers are too hard for street use here
Don't be a softy go for some Tein Monoflex
I wouldn't get n+, they are stiff as and yet give you too much body roll...
my mate wanted to get one and I warned him about it but he didn't listen and now he full regrets it...
so whats a good coilovers for street as daily only?
tein ss or monoflex?
Whos got n+ in their ek? help this dude out tell him how they really are!
Most ppl I've met who have coilovers always end up wanting more control, it makes the daily commute more fun. Generally more control requires higher spring rates and stiff dampers along with other sussy parts.
I have a friend who owns an Ek and has buddy club n+ he is quite happy with them and is thinking of upgrading to racing spec. Racing spec is alot firmer though.
If you got to choose between ss and monoflex definitely the monoflex dont waste your time with ss.

Agreed. i've driven a ek with N+ and their great for daily driving. Nice and comfortable. Best value for money coilovers on the market atm.Quote:

I'll let you know in acouple of weeks when I get my ss, I dunno about sydney but where I live in brissy the roads are shithouse.
and I'd look at jic's before buddy club N+
