look at the bilstein pss9, i had the BC N+, and a friend have pss9 and i like the pss9 better, more smooth, but u can drop the car more with N+ than pss9

true, i was just about to order some billsteins until i spoke to a friend. Remember bilsteins are cool but it is not essentially a coilover setup, they are sleeved springs. i.e, ground controls and konis. Bilsteins are great and have heard nothing but great things, just thought i bring it up

I just ordered Konis + GC's. The setup has a lifetime warranty, you pick your spring rates, and GC's tech. support is great. Blow a shock, and it will be easy to replace...not so sure about JDM shocks.

Ive heard good things about the Bilstein pss9!

does it effect handling in a negative way?

N+ can be serviced in Cali also. Their customer service is great. THe buddy club is pretty good for the money. It comes with pillow ball mounts, mono tubing design and utilizes the three perch design. I've had these for 4 months and performance has not changed one bit. I believe the flex's get stiff after a few months. DO a search on them, you'll find a lot of info. Hope everything works out for you.

tein flex

f=10kg
r=12kg

buddy club n+


f=8kg
r=6kg


basically, the buddy club will ride better on the streets and is tuned toward understeer at the limits, where the tein flex will feel harsh on the streets (my streets, anyway) and is tuned toward oversteer at the limits.

If you are at all worried about ride quality, I would go buddy club N+. You can tune the car futher to your liking with swaybars and tires without killing yourself on the streets

How does the Ground Control + Koni yellows set up stack up against the BC N+?
