So I think it's time for a suspension upgrade to my AT200. What is everyone's favorite system out there for the ST? I'm new to suspension upgrading and so I don't know what I am honestly looking for. The D2 Racing system stands out to me but I don't know if it's reliable or not. If someone out there is running the D2 system, how is it? Suggestions are appreciated! Thanks guys!

I recently bought a set of BC Coilovers and installed a set of D2 Coilovers on a friend's 05 Corolla. I can say my BCs are better designed and built. I've never personally seen a Megan set but I can guess that they're of good quality for an entry level coilover.

I'd have to recommend BC in terms of quality and build, but Megans are by far the most economical option (Megan EZ Street)

+1, Go megan EZ for a decent coilover setup for DD, Megan Racing for a good DD/have fun around corners coilover setup, and BC for quality. TEINS are pretty stiff too btw.

By design they shouldnt be, the twin tube structure isnt as harsh a ride as the mono tubes can be

My friend has TIEN on his Subaru. Not nearly as stiff as my D2 RS's on half setting.

I have D2 RS's and love them. Lots of adjustment, front and rear camber adjustment, 32 dampening settings (if I remember correctly) and I use them all year on my Celica, which is a daily. They've survived the winter and I've had them on for almost a year now. Still as good as the day I put them on, besides a little Rochester Wasabi.
