according to KSport they should share the same pillowball mounts. they looked identicle when I had them both here.

Ahhh!!!!!! whats the FIX!!!! I need to know my D2's are driving me nuts!!! Ive taken these things off the car so many times now its not funny. I narrowed it down to the pillow ball mounts too, I was just going to grease them up, but if you have a better fix please do tell. Thanks Larrio If I wasnt to busy with school Id be all over thise trying to find a fix too.

when you install these are they R and L specific? or will they work on either side?

i am going to attempt an install by my lonesome and i need all the advice i can get.

The fronts are side-specific, but aren't marked. When I had mine installed I was told that they only go on one side properly because the strut tower hole pattern is not symetrical, and the "D2" logo on the bottom of the camber plate should face out.

Turn up the dampening, and the sound will most likely go away or get a lot quieter. Increase it until it starts getting too stiff, and go back 1/2 a turn.

I did what stillenmax2k said and it worked. Also make sure that there isn't any preload on the springs, so if the car is jacked up you have a little bit of room to wiggle the spring up and down between the perches

Not disagreeing with you. As I said, thats the perfect ride height IMO. I would set my car to that same height if I had coilovers.

Car looks nice.
Would that ride height would be compared to the Illuminas and Tein H?
What are the measurments from wheel well to floor?
