Ark DT-P would probably be better for DD. Buddy Club is 'racing spec' and the spring rates are higher in the front so it'll be a much stiffer ride. Unless that's what you want to go for.

Buddy Club spring rates: 9k/7k
Ark DT-P spring rates: 6k/7k

Can't say anything about the buddy club since I've never rode on them. But I like do like my coils. They're great for a DD.

Also, I think the spring rates are 6k/6k for ark, not 7k rears

DTP is better for a daily driver. They are the most popular version of Ark Coilovers that we sell
