Teins are not a bad option at all. We stock those as well.

Buddy Club revised the spring rates on the Racing SPEC to be a bit more comfortable and also the lower mount allowing for more height changes.

I'd say go Buddy Club.

@FT-86 SpeedFactory I'm torn between this Buddy Club Racing Specs and RSR Sporti Coilovers. I'm mostly going to commute in this car daily, but also use it for some canyon carving. Which would you recommend?

Looks like you have a ...DC5 (Acura RSX).. there with the very first version of Racing Spec Dampers that were issued back in roughly 2004-2005. After their first release it was found that the front brackets for DC5/EP3 had a design flaw and were immediately recalled and replaced with a new front lower mount. Quality and control have tremendously improved since then (04-05 pre smart phone, lotta stuff has changed since then) . Last time I checked though, this was FT86club and not Hondatech.

Hi @FT-86 SpeedFactory,

What is the lowest these coils can drop?
I'm not trying to slam my car, but I do want the want a minimal tire gap. From the looks of the pictures with the red FRS, there's still a large gap, at least from the way that red FRS was set up.

I have these coils, and youll be able to slam it pretty low if you want to. You'll have no problem getting it to the height you want.

Heres full low

YOUR CAR LOOKS TITS! if you put spacers with stock wheels... the car would look tight man, just an opinion though

Thank you bro!!!:) I was actually running 25mm spacers for that pic, but now I have WedsSport SA-10R's with the blue chrome accent. The second pic is pretty terrible and doesnt do the wheels justice lol

Yup! The wheels would have looked way more sunken otherwise, but it looked really good for what it was
