Need input on D2 Racing RS Coilover System
I have them. They are good quality so far. I've had them for about 5 months and 8k miles. If you don't like rolling like your in a caddy it is a bit stiff. I like the fact that every piece is anodized or powdercoated. No rusting. However they didn't come with any instruction on how to setup the adjustability and it took me a couple hours to find that online. If you use the break bracket it comes with you have to drill a 8-10mm hole in it to mount the brakeline and get a nut for each bolt. At least that is what I did, looked cleaner that way.
Stiff is STIFF. I mean pain up your spinal cord if you hit a bump. And Soft is pretty caddy like.
I have not seen a FULL shock dyno on these yet. I have only seen Full stiff and 1 turn back. So I can only tell you from my personal experience.
If I had to buy again I would still probably choose the D2's. I am quite happy with them.
I have mine set at 2 fingers all the way around and 18 front and 20 rear. Carefull on how you set the stiffness. Too stiff and, at least for me, it was a little disconcerning how the car went into turns. But I'm sure that is because I'm new to rwd cars and I need more seat time at the track.

Again, thanks a lot.
I have these for nearly a year. Front shock were fine for 4 auto-x races, I came to the 5th one and the front right was gone, a week later the left did the same. Since I have 1 year warranty it's not a big deal, but from what I heatrd, 30% of them just don't last any longer than a few months.
The box says "for race track use only" and that's what thgis coil overs are good for. auto-x and track. Street is just plain terrible even on the softest.
If you drive 90% street and 10% track, this is NOT the coil over set up you are looking for, trust me....
