I am about to get my tax refund and put it towards a set of full coilover suspension. Just wondering if anyone has the D2's yet and how happy people are with their SS's or any other full coilovers. The D2's are supose to be compriable to the SS's and I can get a full no questions asked lifetime warrenty on them.

I don't think any of the 6gc owners have them but I have read exceptional things about this set elsewhere. I say give them a try and report back!

[right][snapback]270745[/snapback][/right] expecting a harsher ride for sure the lifetime warranty of the d2's is just so tempting. If I buy them from PRE they said if they start feeling soft or anythng I can just pull them off and send them in and get a new set |

D2 are made in Taiwan, there just universal sold coilovers with the D2 brand on them. At least thats what I am told.
Tein has already proven themselfs along the years for there exceptional quality. I have them and with the EDFC installed i wouldn't want anything else. -------------------- JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!

I dont know if you could get them cheaper but they are just as much as teins. I thought they would be cheaper. For that price i would definately get tein.

Wiring is easy, it has all the necessary connectors on them. Hardest part is installaltion. Not that its difficult but time consuming. Be ready to spend about 4-5 hours on the installation. Prices, i knew they were not that much cheaper then the Teins, another reason to save up a few bucks and go for the quality rightaway! -------------------- JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!

I love my Teins too.....I can't imagine buying anything that I'd like more for the money. Superior quality, proven performance, and a long company history is what wins me over.
Very versitile also, I was riding a mountain road by me the other day, and the road turned to dirt and rock suddenly. I simply pulled over and adjusted the dampening force to the softest setting and continued to flog the road like it was my job.
