Buddyclubs N+ are the best for the money. You can adjust rebound height and the damper to your own setting. I love mine they feel so good on a road conditions. Before you get them read everything and anything you can about them the install is complicated so take your time. Here is some links to help you out.

I was thinking about picking up a set of these too... a friend of mine can get me them for $950 installed including tax.

The one thing I'm not sure of is whether or not these are good on the street.

Based on this list http://forums.clubep3.net/showthread.php?t=564642

Stock ep3.................4.4k f/7.8k r
Mugen ss ep3..........5.1k f/7.8kr
Buddy Club n+.........10k f/14k r

This means that the N+ is twice as hard as the mugen? If i get these Im afraid i'll lose my teeth :meek:

The one real big mistake I have with the ep is not getting Race Specs and getting the N+.

can anyone comment on their stiffness? Becuase their spring rates are a little scary for a street car

i live in ohio, and have had racing spec damper for over a year. they are fucking awesome. a little on the firm side, so just learn to be careful, and stop driving your baby down shitty roads. oh yeah, if your auto-x or track the car, these are one of the absolute best setups you can buy, short of moton or j's racing. btw, rsd can be found for about 1500.

everybody has a different opinion on the stiffness of each setup, but to me it feels like riding in a normal car, i was riding in a RSX that had them but basically the same as the EP would be.

this is my 3rd set of coils. i love these the best. mine is setup a little stiffer than stock suspension...but that's how i like it. either find someone who has them and ride in their car. Or spend a little money and try 'em out yourself. they're worth the 1000 bucks to me.

It kind of sucks when you have to adjust them tho, adjustment knob is at the bottom on the front struts and especially the rears when u need a change of height.

if i'mma get them, i'll juz have them at the stiffest and lowest on my first installation, won't need to bother anymore...rite??

i saw a website selling Tein Flex for $16xx USD, would this b a better choice if at this price??

the buddy clubs are def. the better choice since they specialize a lot in hondas.

kool, do u know if i can open a PO box in the states somewhere near the boarder and have them ship things to a PO box? cuz it's always cheaper to have things received in the states than Canada.

the N+ are good for what they are. if you want to spend more money to get the RSDs i'd pass and say get "JIC FLTA2" or TEIN FLEXs.

I've had mine for over a year now and no real problems. The only problem I experienced is the perches coming loose causing clunking noises. It's very easy to just jack up the car, remove the wheel and tighten it back up. It seemed to come loose pretty easy at first but after a while, it stays in place. Just make sure it's real tight.

Now a couple little gripes is the damper adjustment is underneath which is pita, and the other is the rears aren't as easy to adjust the height as the fronts. You'll need to remove the bottom bolt before you can adjust the height.

thanks for the heads up, but i don't got enough tools at home to do all the tuning...most likely i'll just have it the lowest and the stiffest on the first install!
