DO NOT buy Buddy Club Coilovers!

Right, I said I'd post pics of Kat's (FweakyG's) coilovers me and Ste (bristol_bb4) removed on Sunday.

These are some expensive coilovers, but do not seemed to be built for our roads and weather. All the shocks were gone, car would bounce up and down like no tomorrow.

But the worst was when we removed them:

Yes those top mounts are literally crumbling apart!

The studs were barely held in and one practically fell out in our hands when we were undoing a nut.

:shock:

Her car, while slightly sitting higher on my Tein spring drop, will not only pass the MOT but won't cause a potential big accident!

Some crazy $hit!

I drove this car a couple of weeks ago when I was picking Kat up from the train station.

The amount of bounce, especially on the rears was so unbearable and would've said bordering on dangerous - now I know that they were just downright dangerous!
