I started working with Megan after buying my set and finding out I could only get an 1.5 drop. They sent me new springs and shocks that are shorter (same 8kg) and with the new set was able to get much lower and still have a little room to spare. I myself wouldn't want to remove the locking collars ! Before getting the replacement springs and shocks, I would have had to do what you've done in order to get to the height on the fronts that I'm at now which is close to perfect !

I'm not aware of any coilovers for the R53 made by Buddy Club...and I know the owner personally...can you give me some info on it in a PM?

Unless you're talking about BC Racing...which isn't Buddy Club.

Ah ok...those aren't Buddy Club. I was getting a bit excited.

For a moment I thought he had custom ordered BuddyClub P1 RDs http://www.buddyclub.us/

BC Racing is NOT Buddy Club. BC Racing stands for BorChuann Racing. DO NOT get the two confused. The quality between the two are on a completely different level. And Buddy Club coilovers always come in their signature black and red with blue springs. Buddy Club coilovers only have 3 Coilover types: P-1 Racing Coilovers, Racing Spec Dampers, and N Spec Dampers.

Here are the two websites for the two companies who I guess people are mistaking for one another.

Buddy Club: http://www.buddyclub.us/

BC Racing: http://www.bcracing-na.com/

As you can see Buddy Club does not make Coilovers for the R53 or any european vehicle for that matter.
