1llmatic will become famous soon enough
go with the buddy club coilovers.
they are amazing!

i had koni yellows with neuspeed race springs on my car for 4 years and over 200 000km with no problems. the ride was good but the ride on the BC's are even better.

EP3 coils fit the 7thgen

James tell your friend to get buddy club. They are good, cause I am using them too. The reason why on your friend's car is making a weird noise. His car is lower so the ride is going to be more rough than stock suspension. The bushing is taking alot of load and they are stock. Some people claims they had it for a while and they have no problem. Some of them claims there shock is done in a year of time. It really depends on the road condition & how he drives.

the bushings will tend to wear down/out.... just depends on how fast it would wear down on the type of driving he does... can get aftermarket bushings or oem bushings from honda to replace 'em.

the bushings on my kw suspension wore down... it's off my car now though
if your friend is interested in the kw variant 2 suspension, let me know.
