Hi Guys,

We just added a new product line to our site. We are now an official distributor of Buddy Club, therefore we want to see the interests on the Buddy Club Racing Spec Coilovers, for the S13 and S14.

Buddy Club USA does not have them instock, but we can pre-order them without any down payment. It takes about 3-4 weeks.

http://edit.store.yahoo.com/lib/import-store/buddyclub-coilover.jpg

Specs:
Front/Rear Pillowball Upper Mounts
Inverted Front Shock
Spring rate: 8k/6k
15 way adjustable
Full Ride Height Adjustable
...
...


Group Buy Price: $1400 shipped for S13 / S14

We need at least 5 buyers in order to get them fast and at this price.

No down payment is required.

To Pre-Order, one must submit an order from our website or you may call to place the order.

Online Order Link: http://www.optionimports.com/buclsu.html

Phone: 1-909-5957765

Your credit card will not be charged, we just need the information to contact you and reserve your item. Serious buyers only please.

These coilovers are by far the higest quality I've seen, also they are priced very resonably, and their pricing structure is the same as in Japan. Unlike JIC who mark up xx% of the Japan MSRP. :tweak:

Buddy Club Coilovers are built 100% in Japan, in their own facility. Not some Taiwanese immitations.

curious, how does the ride quality compare to JIC FLTA2?s

I have never ridden on FLTA2 on S13/S14, but on a STi. It's very similar, since their design is about the same.

I would suggest the Buddy Club Dampers over JIC any day, especially at the price listed!! Yen alone is 188,000... do the math = good deal!!

interesting...however, are these designed for drift or circuit racing? I've search and have found good things said about them on FF cars but can it handle the lateral forces of drifting? appearance wise, sure...looks beefy but does anyone drift with these?

It's been used for circuit racing in Japan, anything handles circuit racing will handle drifting without a problem, right? The 8k/6k spring rate is just about right for everyday driving, some weekend drifting.

You will also notice that the Front is an Inverted Damper, (not possable in the rear, shaft is to long)!! Most all Circut/ Drift bread Dampers are inverted... the good ones at least.

This is a damn good deal. I'd jump all over this if I didn't have Apexi N1 PRO already. HAHA.

i have a video (hashiriya) in which they ride w/ Komatsu Fumiaki (Drifter X) in his copper 180sx (pre-ichigo) and he has buddy club coils on that car. he's ok i guess . . .

sounds like a great deal to me. would buy if i had the $$. world sport sucks.

Nope... they don't have a kit for the Z32.

Is there any way to get these soon? I'm trying to get some coilovers before DD15 and EVERYONE is sold out of Tein HE's and my pockets aren't deep enough for JIC/Kei Office/Cusco.

Unless of course you have some Tein HE's leftover.

these are really nice. i have seen them in person and the quality is there. i would only have one gripe, and that would be that there is no spot to mount the brake line. nothing a zip tie wont cure but a little weak for high end coilovers.

ryan, if you can get these in time, i would jump on the deal.

I have been in a s14 with these coilovers and they ride very well, handling is good as well, I am actually picking up a set of these from a friend.

what are the HE's spring rate? Just want to compare....

I wanted the HE's, and if not those then Kei office XR (im not rich). How do these compare to the HE's?

ucfz31s13
04-29-2004, 06:12 PM
HE spring rate is 8/6.

sleep
04-29-2004, 07:03 PM
ohhhh.......

They rebuildable like the HE's?

If they are then how long do i have to get the money? You said no downpayment right?

Can you get the P1 Racing spec as well(the aluminum body 34 way adjustable ones), if so how much? Will you ship to Canada? if so, how much will shipping be around? I'm in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, T5Y-2L2

mike2016

They are rebuildable, but it takes time to send them back to Japan, maybe a few months.


Deadline is 1 month from now. 5/31 is the last day to join the buy.

Currently we have

1 member joined and put down a deposit.

Again, there's no down pay required, just place the order. We'll contact you once their shipment arrives.

But please have your money ready when our shipment comes in.

I'm doing a little bit of research on these. I am more then likely IN.

Deadline being the 31st, then another month to get them, gives me 2 months to come up with $1,400? That is NO problem.

Now i need to decide if i'm going to go Tein HE's, or these.

mike2016
04-30-2004, 08:27 PM
Yes you have 2 months to come up with $1400. good logic there.

HE is not bad but they are backordered until late May.

sleep
04-30-2004, 08:42 PM
i know somewhere that has HE's in stock....1 set actually.

I just want to know what would be better for me.

Price has nothing to do with it cause they are fairly close.

Setting the car up for drift. Daily driving as of right now. End of summer i should have a daily beater to drive instead.

Do you know how to read sizz?

It was covered several times in this thread, read before asking questions.

It will take a month for him to get them if not a little longer, then probably 5 days for them to get to us. So it will be over 2 months wait
