Being pretty new to ek9's I'm just getting my head round the different jdm company's, Spoon ect. I've had one or two small products from buddy club and seems good, however are they in the same quality bracket as spoon, feels ect?
They seem to have some good stuff but is it high quality or more mass produced cheaper stuff like tewiga?
 
No where near the likes of spoon, mugen feels and toda. But a damn site better that tegiwa! Don't buy there camber arms! The bolts shear of under normal road use!
 
I wouldnt change the 9's suspention in any way mate!
BC a good compromise then?

you have S300 IJ?
 
There ok i don't really use to much of there stuff as i'm not a fan.

Yes i do have a S300... Why do you ask?
 
getting mine fitted and mapped by RDT next weekend, cant wait!
 
Excellent. My car will still be there.

In need of some much love and a damn good clean and polish. Has been cleaned and polished in a year! :-(
 
thats good to know!!
did you notice a difference with the S300 mapped?

He will get your 9 running SWEET and really improve its driveability and power output! Honestly there is NO one better in the country to work on your car! IMHO :nerv:
 
Will is a top lad had my car setup on a s300 and pulls really strong right though the rev range. You won't go far wrong using him :)
 
I would not recommend anyone buy Buddyclub products for the road. They are marketed as racing products and so are not designed to cope with the stress of daily driving on pothole ridden roads.

They also have the worst customer services,l bar none, that I have ever experienced. I got branded flat out as a liar and a con artist on a public forum when I attempted to claim for a Buddyclub P1 alloy that had cracked a spoke for no reason.

I will never deal with them again.
 
aw **** i was just about to buy stuff from them as well lol

What do people think about d2 parts?

Contact Funkypower and fit 10kg/mm onto the rear spings! I've got 13kg/mm in the front and it really improved them
