Project D

I was at the IAS this weekend in Atlantic City and D2 had a representative on hand with their product f0r both S13 and S14 chassis. Does anyone have these already? If so, how do they like them for track and for street driving? They appeared to be a very nice setup and seemed to be very high quality. To be honest, HKS had a booth on the other side and thier coil-overs seemed a little weak compared to these ones!! Just looking for some general input. The other coil-overs I was looking at were the Tanabe Sustec Pro S-S type II or apexi N1 EXV. Looking at these due to adjustability factor. Thanks for all who have anything to say. Glad to be on the forum!

If you had bothered to use the "search" function you would have realizied there are exactly 1,364,916 240s with D2s and everyone agrees they are 1,000,000 times better then all other coilovers out there, especially HKS.

We were there with D2 over the weekend too. Glad i got to meet Mike in person. Anyway, the D2 coilover is a good one. They did have some issues in the past but they have taken care of that and it's been great for us and all of our customers. They allow for fine tuning and work very well.

If you have any particular questions please let me know. We would be happy to help.

not sure about tein

but i agree. its funny that all of these people sporting taiwanese coilovers think they're the greatest thing since sliced bread and nothing else on the market can compare.

it's probably because it's their first glimpse of threaded coilovers as opposed to threaded sleeves like GC/Skunk2

TheSpeedFactor

i wouldn't say they are the best but its been our experience that they are a quality product at a fair price. Also D2 upholds its responsibilities to its customers really well. Not alot of companies would do the things they have done in the time they have done it to keep their customers happy and to a buyer like me that is key when choosing who i do business with.

oh wow, they let you try the hks and d2s? Anyways, search search.

Its not that I think D2 is the greatest coilover ever made. But they are very good for the money (at least what I got them for, early in the game). I paid basically $100 more for D2s than I would have Eibachs and AGXs, they serve their purpose. Coilovers should not cost more than the car is worth IMO ($1500+ coilover setups).

yeah for how much i paid for my Megan Racing coilovers? nothing can beat them

for quality..pretty much any real coilover can beat it with a baseball bat lol

for how much i had to spend, it was that or nothing so i got them. I'll upgrade to bigger and better when i get more money later

i got the KTS coils on account of the nice middle ground between track and affordability. they ride really well and if you can spare the extra cash i say go for em.

worth every penny.

dvdevo

i've learned my lesson to not cheap out on important parts. Just save up to save yourself a headache later on.

SochBAT

Just cut your springs, and save up.
but then again... D2s are JDM BigCock crazy madtight.

dvdevo

my d2's make me want to kill myself.

Project D

Well, thanks for the input. I especially like the guys who would rather hate on me than the product. At any rate, I was looking at the D2 for the simple fact that it would give me the freedom of more adjustability and ultimately, a more fine-tuned suspension than that of the comparable priced brand name products. I am doing a search and I can't find anything on the apexi coil-overs that I named in my previous post. Like I said, I am just starting this project up so there is no rush on what I am buying, just trying to get a feel for the quality of the D2 coil-overs since I could buy them for $600, leaving me some money for some Battle Version tie rods and such. Some like them and some hate them, I still need more opinions. Thanks again.

Project D

Just read dvdevo's post..........Do these things just ride like piss???

xagna

Most of your opinion on D2 is that it is good for money. In what ways is it good for its price? Because it is lasting long or the performance?

pruto

mmm, can't find anything on the apexi EXV in a search? we had a huge disccussion on EXV vs Megan on this forum a month ago. Try harder.

i've ridden in a car with them. The shock valving in the rear on full stiff is hardly adequate for the 5k springs they were equipped with. Any other questions?

westboroughpimp, were the Apexi coil-overs those of which you speak? I know that they are new to the market, so they may not have all the bugs worked out of them yet. Have you ever ridden in a car equipped with Tanabe Pro s-s type II? Other than that, I don't have any other questions right now.

Var

sorry ..to clarify. i've ridden in D2's. Not the A'pex. You'd better believe a company like A'pex would have their shit sorted out BEFORE it hit the market. Not make something, use the first few hundred customers as test rats, then fix the problems. Although any reputable company can still make mistakes, there is a better chance you're gonna get a quality product.

I havent ridden in any car with Tanabe SS, but the Tanabe DD gets really good reviews from people that use them.

I say, forget d2s, cuz they have that horrid problem of bending the shocks, and get MR coilovers.

many have gotten them, and say they are really good for entry level to moderate drifting. And for the price, its the best bang for the buck IMHO. And if i remember, MR coilovers = Apex World Sports.

Anyhow, Ksports/D2 sucks nuts. Didn't mean to step on your balls. nexttime, search. =)

Project D

Awesome. So, the D2 blows ass and the Megan Racing is a little better. That helps me out. I have never had such an aftermarket support system for my car, since my previous car was a Cavalier. Anyways, thanks for the input. Feel free to keep writing your comments or write up which suspension you run and how you like it.

SochBAT

Try searching up the Megan Racing coilover writeup. Jeff240 got a set, and tested them against some other coilovers. There are some pages of shittalking, but its worth the read.

Is this car straight track? or dailydriven also?

SochBAT

Search up D2 coilover reviews. They have been known to have blown/bent shocks after some time (fastest blown that i've known of was 1month). D2/KSports have the same coilovers from the same manufacturer, as do MeganRacing/Apexi. Does anyone know if Zeals are the same as SilkRoads from the same line?

Pretty much coilovers are the same, just with fancier stickers, and slight adjustment.
