Buddy Club N+ ride height question
Hey everyone,
I have a question regarding the Buddy Club N+ coilover kit.
When set at the maximum height, is it close to stock? I'm asking since I live in Canada and will need to get near stock height for the winter.
Basically, what's the minimum drop the coilover can sustain?
Also, when compared to Tein Basic/SS, are they firmer even at the softest setting?
Thanks!

i'm not entirely certain, but the n+ may even allow you to raise ride height to just above stock level. also, do a search for the spring rate thread as that should give you a bit more info on comfort/compliant ride characteristics of various suspension setups

I'm just waiting for confirmation about the ride height on the N+ before pulling the trigger so if any one has any insight I'd really appreciate it.
I've decided on the N+ over the Basic/SS because of the added features it offers and the spring independent right height adjustment. It's almost comparable to the Flex but at a fraction of the cost.

I'd not plan on or even consider raising the car that high. There is only a limited amount of height you can get. I'd not raise the car higher than the "2 finger" fender gap mark.
It is a common misconception that coilovers with adjustable height will allow very low and then stock height range adjustment. Suspension systems are designed to work in set height ranges. The N+, as with the Tein or Tanabe systems, will have ride and handling problems, and potentially with the N+ a weaker damper assembly when adjusted to stock height.

I agree with Marcus. Cranking coilovers up that high will make the ride and handling characteristics terrible. If I were going to use my TSX as a year-round vehicle, I would swap my OEM suspension back in for the winter months. It's a hassle, but is the better solution. It will also save winter wear+tear on your coilovers, as an added plus.
