*Rear Springs are loaded on the shocks, instead of seperated like stock setup.
*Spring Rate is 10K Front / 8K Rear (can be ordered with + - 2K without revalving the shock)
*15 Way Dampening Adjustable
*BuddyClub USA promises full 1 year warranty on any defective part
after warranty, replacement shock is about $250 each or so.
All warranty are done in-house in BuddyClub USA headquarter, Ontario CA.
*(Monotube construction, full length height adjustment separate from preload, adjustable dampners)
Spring rates in LBS Front 560 Rear 448*
Stiffer then oem by F +78% R +113%*
With 336lbs rear springs R +64%*
"*Ok, springs run in the rear oem location leverage 36% of their force to the wheels. Springs run on the oem dampner bodies leverage a much greater amount of force to the wheels 59%."
Some documented pics.
Rears:

Fronts:



They dont come with english instructions! I didn't learn "preload" til after full 7months with the coilovers on. These days, some minor squeeks and rattles, hope it's not the coilovers causing the noises. Ride height can be tricky slammed with the oem 19s, but not with more than 10 inch wide rear rims. Now days I left my dampers at full firm, feels 25% firmer than oems, great ride. If you want more perspectives about it, ask the others who drove my G; sen_jen, skylar, frostya, & dtr_projekt.

^ it's a really good coilover for daily driving. good for spirited driving as well. i believe it will hold up on track too. they don't slam as low as others though. the ride at mid dampness is great imo.

i would like coilovers that offer adjustability softer and stiffer then stock.
few questions:

1. how long can you go with these? the back looks a lot higher then the front
2. can you use the stock toe link (the link that holds oem springs), ex. the SPC camber kit
3. at the softest dampness are they actually softer then stock?
4. on sunday wanna take me for a short ride???

1. Oh, that was when I didn't have time to install the rear suspension for the rest of the night.
2. Yes, it can be combined with SPC camber and toe kit.
3. That, I haven't tried yet.
4. No problem.

^ no suspension is softer than stock unless the spring rates match oem, and the shock is valved differently.
