There are many nice coilovers out there, I had just always figured these were up there with the big boys - what a let down.

Very scary stuff, Tbh you wont get much come back from Buddyclub as 1. guess there very old 2. most coilovers say not for road use! but glad you didn't have a accident

An indication of how bad our roads are???

On a serious note, they are downright dangerous

Kat, you have single handedly destroyed BC's reputation in the scene!

well i got the coil-overs and stripped them down! the spring rates are mega high which probably attributed to the shocks being ballsed! the two front shocks fescalised portion (the shiny bit that slides up and down) were bent and both blown, one of the rear shock were okish, t'other was shot!

Top mounts- they are not buddy club! they are teins

all four suffering from very heavy corrosion probably caused by the lack of protective coating on the alloy portion coupled with the dissimilar metal corrosion between the alloy top mount and the spring mount!
if you have these top mounts you should be able to remove the spring mount from the alloy bit, do that and i would suggest appling a generous helping of jointing compound to the mating faces of these parts to prevent dissimilar metal corrosion!
