sweet. I looked everywhere and i couldnt find how many inches it can lower the car. But I plan to lower it 1.5 also so the buddyclubs should work. Do you like your buddyclubs? Now that you have them would you of got something different around the same price range?

You can pretty much drop your car to the point it's barely streetable with the BCs

If you removed your top spring perch you can drop the thing to the ground.

Hey, if you're going with the BC's, my advice is to try and find the JDM versions and not the USDM ones. Buddy Club Japan went out of business, but they should still be available at Gruppe-S, Bullet Proof and others.

This post sheds more light on it. The problems seem to exist more withe the US versions than the JDM ones. https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.ph...c=282075&st=79

I've put close to 60k miles on my JDM Buddy Club coilovers. I would definitely buy them again. The drop is nice and you don't lose any of the suspension travel.
