buddy club or Tein flex coilovers
I'm ready to purchase a set of coilovers. I'm just not sure which ones to buy. I have heard good things about the Tein's and the Buddy Clubs. I understand the Buddy clubs are stiffer. I Autocross 1-2 times per month, The majority of my time is spent driving on the streets. Are the Buddy Clubs to stiff for the street ( IE a long ride on the highway...dragon run) and are the Tein's to loose for the track?
Any thoughts and personal experience would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mitch

who said the tein flex was to soft????
it's 10/559 front 12/671 rear.... that doesnt' seem soft to me....i've got mine slammed and i love it..... the edfc is great, i'm able to adjust on the go whenever i want..... i haven't done any auto-x or track days yet. but i've done a lot of back road and mountain driving, and they handle very very well....
sorry for all the pics guys... but i figured i'd show you fully...

I may get flamed for saying this but the A-arm angle becomes negative and it actually affects handling negatively if you slam our cars more than 1"
You may feel as though the car handles great because of low CG, but it will not yeild faster time at the track. Also, you have to worry about bump steer with excessively lowered cars and yours appears to be.
You are better off puttig Koni shocks and aftermarket spring that lowers no more than 1" Unless you are going for the all show no go, I wouldn't lower the car more than 1" and that is even pushing it.
