Looking at tein basic damper, MAYBE kei office, if price is right, and i see lots of people post about D2's.?! Ive never heard of them, what is there website and where can i get some info on them??? And how do they compare against the teins? THANKS

go to "Search" and put "D2 Coilovers".. you will find some good information...
Try searching "splparts coilovers".. Id recommend those for around 1k over teh D2s..

d2 is only 2 letters and the search minimum is 3. Get the d2's from Mark at Urban Imports 919.383.4605. D2 is starting a wesite at d2racing.com.

the silk roads are pretty nice for around 400 more. dgtrials has no shipping or tax :)

theres k sports as well, their the same thing as the d2's. I got mine for like 740 with pillow ball mounts and an extra set of springs and shipping

D2 = Ksport. D2's are purple, Ksports are orange, only difference.

FWIW I've been running my D2's for about 6 months or so now. Over that time I've been to multiple autocrosses, drift events, and 5 open track events (3+ hours of seat time at each event) at Willow Springs, Buttonwillow, and Cal. Speedway.

I love them.

which is why he said "d2 coilovers"

anyways i have d2's only thing i hate about them is the fact that you can't really lower the rear that much. There's still a wheel gap. :squintd:

[sr240mike]

"d2" is too short, only "coilovers" will show up in the search. I got the back lowered all the way too and its not that low.

KTS SC Beta coilovers from SPLPARTS.COM are great at $1099. I haven't installed them yet, but they are very high quality, I have no doubt they will be exactly like both Adam and Kuah at SPL told me they would be like (albiet I am still worried going from 2kg/mm to 8 kg/mm / 6 kg/mm will be some what harsh). Great fit and finish, good enough for a showpiece...there is only one flaw in the whole setup and that little chrome blemish occurs right where you'd tighten the nut too, which would blemish the finish anyway.

I still don't know why so many want a brake line bracket on their coilovers, yes 240's came stock with them, but many many cars (and 240's too) can have them free float without a problem. Those that ziptie to the strut should realize that wear will occur as the strut pivots against the ziptie/brake line...I did this once and discovered my line was worn down.

You can get all new dampeners for $550 for 4 if they ever blow, but they would could from Japan so it could be a month. However, you aren't dealing with sending your's out, then waiting for them to say 'yeah it's fuxored' and then send you a new one.

plus SPLParts is a definite class act, no bs...all customer satisfaction. I am a repeat customer.
