Installing JDM Coilovers On My Honda Civic Si (Buddy Club Racing Spec Damper)

- If I could only do one mod to every car I own for the rest of time, this would be it. Welcome to the first episode of setting my 8th gen up for track use while keeping it dailyable! Most people set this goal for thier cars, but they tend to miss the mark by either overbuilding for the track, or becoming too overwhelmed to even start modifying their car in the first place. Today my goal is to show youthe first step and the absolute best mod you can do to your car for the track (aside from tires haha). I was able to score a set of Buddy Club Race Spec coilovers for my 2008 Honda Civic Si coupe FG2. This is a huge upgrade over the cheap set that was previously on my car. Watch today's video to find out why. I promise its not just because they're more expensive.

Shoutout @richie_rhd !
#Bullikid ftw 😂
Glad I can help save the day!
Hope they worked good with the buddyclubs!
God is good! 🙏
-2.5 to -2.6 degrees of camber really isn’t enough for these cars for track duty. I started at -2.7 for the first track day I did on my FG2 and it was still a little understeery… next time went to -3.7 and it was way better, everything from turn in to steady state cornering to trying to accelerate through a corner, it helped a lot. I’d recommend going at least -3.5 for the front. still playing with the rear settings, but prolly gonna land somewhere between -1.5 to -2.5
12k front 8k rear is a pretty strange spring rate setup (not sure if you spoke about that). These are inherently front limited cars so even if you prefer an understeery setup you still wouldn’t run a higher spring rate in the front than the rear. Something like 8k front 10-14k rear with at least a 22mm rsb and a max 245 tire, but ideally a 225-235 is the sweet spot. May be wrong but you’ll probably have a weird balance with a spring rate setup like that. I have stock bc coil spring rates with a 245 square setup and the balance sucks imo, I used to run 245s 200tw up front with the stock wheels and all seasons on the back and the balance was surprisingly great. Putting the 245 on the back with the camber necessary to clear (2.5) the car feels like it’s confused and a bit lazy on turn in and floaty mid corner. My advice would just be get a big rsb if you don’t already have one and don’t run too big of a grippy tire in the back. On track if you find it understeery still you can raise the rear tire pressures incrementally.
Ecu setup hondata people say others but it always works on your setup no matter what turbo N/A NOS
Fat Man or Enola Gay is about the most "anti-ricer" name you could give it...maybe too anti-ricer.
Im using that buddy club coilovers. Mine is n+ spec . Very reponsive than BC.
Got the same ones, I second this.
that message at the end damn near brought me to tears. i really needed that. thank you.
Gods got you bro. Have faith.
You just earned a sub from your last message I'm fighting cancer right now and that message hits harder than you know thank you
John just so you know dude, the spring rate is actually printed on the spring itself- if you google how to read spring rates you can work it out off that information.
Your Si looks sick!!! It must be blast to drive. What's the name of her? I'm sure Scarlett is jealous.
Damn I just bought some rev9 for the 8th gen coupe. I’m scared they come out bumpy all the time ppl say they are but then others say they ride great
Nice video bro. Just k24 swaped mine
How much did it cost and was it worth it???
@@boosted_john 3100 and best decision I ever made
@@boosted_johnI just seen that you were featured on another UA-cam channel. I believe shooting cars or something like that. Great video bro. I really need to upgrade all my handling and suspension. Definitely using your videos
Why would you dump more money in the 9th gen Civic just sell the 9th gen and keep the EK I bet you'll have more viewers and people interested in that car
Pshhh
God only gives you as much as you can handle! Good message!
i hate adjusting the rear on those civics
Buddyclub are amazing for the money, however for the money unless pre owned they’re a bit too expensive but not really. They’re amazing feel dampers and the 10k and 14k spring rates hold up super well even with daily driving, especially comfy. Def get some camber arms to get it really tuned in
I’m glad it worked out. 😁 LY ❤️
Love you
Tim? name for the 8th gen?
Man, I just got my first Honda here in the US, I need some youtuber friends I can call up! That was a lucky save.
I replaced my brakes, but now the entire like axle shakes when I press the brakes. Send over the Honda Boys lol
End of the vid is facts 🙏
#Bullikid FTW ❤️♾️
This upgrade is a game changer for any car! 🚗
“Don’t respect all builds…” (Proceeds to eat a hotdog with two weenies)
Fast Forward to around the 4:50 mark🙂. Sorry about your dog, John
You get a like just for the mention of the lady's top shelf my good sir! :D
Not being hypercritical but I thought I let you know “goal” in the description (I do read it like the back of a book before you read :) ) but it’s spelled “ogal” but I love the vid John keep it up you’re a huge inspiration to me and I’ve been juggling with starting my own channel modding my cars but I’m super antisocial and shy on camera what would you say would be the best to over come that ?
Start off by doing anonymous videos. Don’t show your face. Take the Chris fix or alldayanthony approach.
just discovered your channel and i’m loving this content.
You never disappoint us I love the content should name it street sweeper
Let’s gooo another 8th Gen banger!!
The Japanese music is 🔥
Boosted BANGA 🙌
Get another car, haha
That is a pretty funny response to the title lol.
Timmy
Lol get out
Yooo @richie_rhd guy thanks for the shirt!
I have the exact same car just different year, I desperately need coils and this video is awesome. Gone back and watch almost every 8th gen video a few times over to get my build started. Already bout some stuff from acuity and couldn't be happier. Keep up the awesome work man!
Thanks for the feedback! I’m going to continue making this car awesome.
