i have buddy racing spec dampers and i love them. imo the "true coilover setup allows for more of a drop in the rear.

How do you like those buddy clubs? Ive been looking for a thorough review of them but havent had any luck? I hope they arent too harsh for daily driving ?

Hmm.. I'm having enough trouble getting the setup right for mine. I'll leave cornerweighting to people that actually know what they're doing

The car is designed to handle its weight off the OEM spring mount location. Not anywhere else.

Long term, running a coilover setup can't be good. Fatigue will act differently on the chassis, straining weld points, flexing in odd ways. Then again, how many guys will keep their cars 100k+ miles?
