Default I was recommended D2 Coilovers.....

anyone running these? my speed shop is getting me a quote, and i looked around on the interweb and found i can get these cheaper then other coilovers i've seen. im not to worried about daily driving comfort too much, the S-techs are way too soft and im about ready to upgrade. A lot of the "cool" cars they got have D2 parts on them with big brake kits in stock for STi's and G35/350Z's.

only annoying part is my speed shop charges for shipping :-/ grrrrr

so i want to know spring rates and other critical info on this suspension. the home site doesn't provide much info :-/

from research on the internet...they are from the same factory as Megan Racing/ Buddy Club/ksport/cusco..note that they are clones of each other with different spring rates...etc....

my quote was 990 including shipping. that's pretty fair and i can get them the next day too.

How did you treat your Progress for winter? My roommate has em on his tC and we thought they were sealed nice for winter, but the surface corrosion is pretty bad and one of the rings is seized.

Quality was very good! I had them on for about 2 years. I switched because the purple didnt go with my theme now. It comes with rear struts yes and they are adjustable well as the fronts too. I mean the dampening is adjustable. Height is adjustable to front and back.

the only salt is if you live on the beach down here. it snows in NC only once every few years. Wilmington got 1 inch of snow this winter. the first measurable snow in over 5 years. Raleigh got 4 inches this winter. it snows every 3-5 years there too.

i love it here sooo much better then NY metro area. Sciond knows what im talkin about lol.


Blizzard of 94' or 93'
