God I can't wait to see those coilovers installed and here your feedback. Your car is going to look even more sick and handle like a beast on wheels. Those things are downright pretty. I guess you're beefing up for all this newly found power. From the pictures I could not see where the front sway bar connects to the coilover. Custom job? I have always wanted to se your car leveled.
Something tells me you wish you had gone with a lower profile tire.
Before you/your car stars in a myriad of magazines we can all say "yes he e-mailed me once".
I feel third world in terms of Mods compared to you Mr. Cutting Edge. Keep up the great work. Because of folks like you this site is hella fun. My car vicariously lives through your car! I keep telling my car, "well maybe we can get you a shiny strut bar if they are on sell next week".

If he ever decided to slap ***** on his engine, he may have more respect for quality brakes!!! I'd easily spend $1300 for a great brake setup than useless interior electronics when the overall goal of every driver should be to DRIVE, not watch TV or play playstation II. My goals just tend to be different than most...
I personally am looking to get a Latex/Cialas dispencer installed in my back seat. Ya want to talk about drivin'...

hey chris from what i've heard from this guy i know that works at TRT, he recently just re-built a R33 skyline thats legal in NYC, D2s are bascially chinese made and are not as high quality as teins or k-sports, he has had a lot of issues coming back regarding the coils failing, buh he also adds that he normally gets orders for D2s on hondas and other vechicles, he doesn't really recall anyone getting em for nissans...give us a reveiw about those coilovers.

D2 Racing has teams located around the world in Thailand, Taiwan, China, Macao, Singapore, Australia, England, Canada and USA using their coilovers and racing suspension.
The coilovers I just received are superior quality and I have seen everyones products. What some people must consider and I understand having lived all over the world for 24+ years (12 years in Japan): US PRODUCTS ARE NOT ALWAYS THE BEST!!! Last, anyone running coilovers in NYC regardless of brand will have issues, thats just a fact. Don't believe everything you hear, even from someone who just helped build a car...
Show me a failure comparison link. Save the I heard this from joesh!t for someone else...

That quote was from the Eibach site about the spacer kit... Surely no one has anything negative to say about the brake setup.

Your facts are not all that correct:
