D3xt3r Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I sold a lot of their coilovers already and for the price they are pretty nice. Cant comment on the brake kits as I havent seen those yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 a load of peeps run there coilovers, cant see a price list on there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebsteif Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 so, their coilovers are good, better than Teins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Like the discs. wonder if they will fit Uk calipers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdtime Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Id say they are better than Teins, teins are prone to leaking and the strut thread builds corrossion easily so its a pain to re-adjust the coilovers. I have seen the D2 being installed on a members car and they look the dogs, the thread is coated i think so is less prone to corrossion unlike others, and its damp rated and can be adjusted both ride height and shock stiffness.

D3xt3r Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I wouldnt advise to run them in the winter but beside that the coilovers are pretty nice. Second thing is you should like a bit of DIY as the brakeline holds that come with the kit are a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syed Shah Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 The calipers look 'thin' from those pics, I would not be surprised if they flex. Are their products made by them or re-badged? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSZ Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 There is a d2 racing in sittingbourne kent. Dont know if its part of the same company or not but seemed farly good to me. Don't think so mate - these guys are based in Taiwan:) Seen a set of their brakes on ebay recently http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/D2-Racing-8-Pot-Caliper-Brake-kit-Toyota-Supra-JZA80_W0QQitemZ170019797446QQihZ007QQcategoryZ23013QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem - certainly look nice :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lubas Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 yeah its the same company,i've been there a few times. quite a big company in the states,got quite a good name on the SXOC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3xt3r Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Can you really see people switching there suspension completely every winter? No but at least over here most people dont drive their sports cars in the winter If you have to use it then spray with wax like crazy. D2 Racing is just another brand like KSport, GForce and so on its all the same just different colors and logos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lebsteif Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 why do you have to wax these so much during winter and not the oem suspension? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSZ Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 yeah its the same company,i've been there a few times. Got an address for them mate? I shall hae to pop round for a nose :d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmic Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 why do you have to wax these so much during winter and not the oem suspension? Because these like other aftermarket coilovers are height adjustable and the threads are prone to corrosion hence the need to coat them in wax. OEM suspension is not height adjustable and therefore doesnt have a threaded shock body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lubas Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Got an address for them mate?
