Remember that the stiffer the suspension, the LESS traction you have on bumpy and rough surfaces (everything you encounter on the street). People put racing suspension on their street cars, push them hard, and wind up in the junkyard. I see a handful every time I go.

My friend in his hatch has the 12k/10k and his roads are absolute shit yet he easily is flying through his area even able to hit boost. Both these cars are at slightly different heights but given where we live it's not back breaking or jarring for long rides.

This one is on the 12k/10k dd

This one is on the 10k/8k dd

- Fri Nov 01, 2013 8:35 pm #338281 I've been running buddy club n+ specs and at the lowest setting they are a comfortable stiff ride, then when I go out to the track, I adjust them about 8clicks front and 6 rear. And the cornering is about as nice as the next skunk2 set up woth a beefy sway bar.

So far, I've ran them on three cars.. 93 sol/ 91 integra/ and now my hatch. The heavier the car on them the better ride. But I love my buddy clubs.

I can't say how well these perform around corners but it allowed the white hatch (N/A B series with skunk 2) to run 13.04 at 114mph (which is a 11sec trap speed), radials on a moist track, no adjustments from street to track. The red hatch boosted b series (blox) to run consistent 11.3 with the potential to run 10's (up the boost) again no adjustments from street to track

- Mon Nov 04, 2013 4:27 am #338343 I think when I saw that story about skunk2 and blox, didn't someone from skunk2 get fired or had a disagreement and started making something similar...blox but back on topic
OP how're your roads where you will be driving?
If you liked the shock with lowering spring combo I'd go with the Koni yellows and ground control combo I've heard nothing but great things about that setup on and off the track, and I think it's around the same price as coilovers
