i had them on my car, i still have them too since my friend decided to just give them back to me. Comfort wise, they are great. Very smooth and quiet, no bounce (which i get on my stance, but then again im lower with the stance). The only drawback is you cant really slam the rears with these. Overall if i wasn't into the slammed look, ill take them over my stance GR+

so, which ones do you have?

what are the upper mounts made of? did they tell you what the spring rates were? i'm assuming they are true rear coilovers and not the oe arrangement?

sorry for the questions, but good info on buddy clubs is severly lacking.

i don't know if anything is wrong with the D1.

the thread however is for the N+ and if those do exsist then i for one would just like to know a little bit more about them as up until now i had no reason to believe they exsisted.

If they do not exsist then why would a thread be made about them and people reply to it saying they have them then not answer any questions about them?

i don't intend on purchasing them either way, but i do like to stay on top of what products are available and what the pros/cons are so i can make a better decision if the need arises.


are you familiar with the D1's? they are priced reasonably, but i have never seen any tech specs on them. what are the spring rates? are the rears a true coilover or oe setup? are the mounts rubber/bearing/urethane? any info at all(a little bit more than "i have them and they are good") in this thread would be great.

thanks guys for all the inputs. i've actually heard a lot of great things about these racing specs too..well obviously they are the top of the line for buddyclub coilovers. so you would expect them to be. i havent heard of a more detailed review, and thats what im hoping so read if a member had these, thanks. but overall from JPE22, thanks for your review on them.

spring rates are totally mismatched - 14 kg front, 5 out back. Even for a 'true' coilover, that is just a wacky ratio that defies logic on these cars
