One of our customers, Jose M. (IG: @corsa19), recently purchased a Buddy Club Racing Spec Damper Kit for his Acura RSX. These lowering springs surely makes his 10-spoke SSR GTV02 wheels look even more aggressive. The Buddy Club damper kit was developed based on data collected from actual race cars and high-performance street cars. Spring rates are 10K for the front and 14K for the rear. See below for detailed features on the Buddy Club dampers. Be sure to also scroll down and check out the photos Jose sent in of his RSX.
Features:
Strut Suspensions – All strut-type suspensions use inverted shocks for more horizontal stability. Buddy Club utilizes the inverted shock design for its high durability and manufactures them with corrosion-free chrome plated steel.
- 15 Way Compression/Rebound Adjustment.
- 15 different settings are possible with just a simple click on a knob.
- Inverted shocks have the adjusting knob on the top of the shaft. The others have the knob on the bottom of the shell case.
The basic compression (softest setting) offers excellent comfort for daily street use of the suspension kit. About 4kg/mm spring rate increase is expected with the damping force set to all the stiffest settings.
Mono Tube Design Shell Case – All Racing Spec Dampers use the mono tube design shell case instead of the ordinary cartridge type. Strut type applications use a 36mm piston and wishbone type uses an extremely large 46mm piston for greater control of the damping force. The shell case finish is an off black coating to prevent corrosion, in addition to offering a high quality feel and look.
Spring Seat, Lock Seat – The aluminum material spring seat/lock seat will let the driver adjust the height 2mm for every one full complete turn. By using the preloadable adjusting bracket it is now possible to change the spring pre-load without changing the vehicle height.
Pillow Ball Upper Mounts – Steering response will dramatically improve by adding upper pillow ball mounts in place of the factory rubber bushing. Aluminum upper mounts will let you adjust the camber on every strut type suspension kits.
Original Springs – High quality original springs are used on all Buddy Club suspension kits. A special coating gives extra protection against any corrosion caused by the every day driving.
Bracket Adjustable – Buddy Club has eliminated the need for helper springs by using the adjustable bracket system. A very low ride-height is possible without having any free play of the springs.
