Getrag Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 at around mid 500 pounds? Do D2 shocks have a good rep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I'm not sure what the D2 coilovers are like, they seem quite stiffly sprung though, see spec here: http://www.d2racingsports.com.au/suspension.htm As a comparison the Tein SS are Front 14kg/mm, rear 8kg/mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getrag Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 Yeah Nic, I thought that. Just more pointing them out for other folk, seems a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 The D2 stuff does look interesting, for example their 8-pot AP-clone brakes look extremely interesting - exact clones of AP's it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3xt3r Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I sold quite a few sets of D2 coilovers and all customers were quite happy with them for the price they paid. You can get custom springs if you want it softer and all that stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Many bad reports of D2 coilovers over on sxoc - there were a few group buys a while back and now I often see complaints of knocking sounds from them. IMO they look good but are not durable. They also tend to be very stiff, really a track based setup. Cheers, Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 So what coilovers are recommended then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 So what coilovers are recommended then? The best VFM coilovers IMO are the Tein Super Streets. It really depends what you want to spend though, as there is a big choice of brands and models available to fit the Supra. If you want any prices Ken give me a shout.

tDR Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I don't know if the longevity is there with the Teins either, but that may be only relative to their past models. We'll see if people start to complain about superstreets leaking etc. To be honest though, I think it's more a case of most Coilovers being too stiff for UK roads and so the effect of crashing over our poor road surface, potholes etc takes it's toll and wears them out. I can't help but think that if they were more compliant with more normal spring and damping rates that they wouldn't wear out so quick. I quite like the look of the H&R's (excellent value just now from MVP and TUV approved / German made) and the HKS Drag's for this reason. Cheers, Brian.
