I bought a DC5 n I'm very desperate to get a set of coilovers.

which out of those below do u recomend?
tein superstreets, Flex or Greddy, Trust type S, buddy club N+ or others?

N+ sounds good

Superstreet do not have adjustable lower perch.
Lowering the ride height will reduce suspension travel.

Toda Fightex - At least you know its made in Japan.. :-D

Fightex is the best of the best.
Not the best for the bank account though.

Yeah, but in the long run, Good Suspensions pay themselves off.

Custom valved konis with your favourite flavour springs will do wonders. Costs you in brain-power however.

Buddy club RS or N+ for sure

If you are on a tight budget, N+. If you have money, Fightex. Don't waste your time on superstreet (too soft for most)

go for a higher end Japaneses brand.
Cusco
Fightex
Tein

Buddyclub

I would avoid the cheep and nasties
like the D2's and clones.

these may seem bang for buck but you would be better off with going with a lower spec Tein/Cusco/BC model rather than these. They will cost you more in the long run.

Remember that like Tires, wheels and brakes your suspention is a safety feature and catastrophic failure could result from you being seriously inured or even killed. Its not an item i would be scrimping on.

If your on a budget i would be looking at going with Koni Yellow + springs option rather than going down the "cheep" coilover route. It may end up costing you more than you think.....
