I think the buddy club being more stiff than the v3's is a no brainier seeing as the buddy clubs are linear.

I'm looking forward to your reviews as in the past with my cars I've got nothing but positive things to say about buddy club.

From a dd aspect go with kw if your more interested in performance these are the perfect dampers. They definitively lean more to the track aspect being a racing spec system, but if you don't mind the stiffness it makes daily driving a lot more fun.

They are definitely a stiff set up. The faster you drive the less "bounce" you get. From my experience they push the rear end through corners more aggressively with little to no sway. The title pretty much says it all. Racing spec. You get what you paid for with these and then some. These aren't for some looking to just lower their car these are for someone looking to get the most out of there frs/brz
