You pretty much get everything you ever want in a strut/spring. Adjustable height, full suspension travel, adjustable damping and camber adjustment.

1MAX2NV: I thought you were getting KSports?
Also, I think these D2's are somehow rebadged by D2 Auto Technik. Check their website and compare logos: http://www.d2technik.com/home.htm

So one question are these like the JIC where as you can lower the strut body on the perch so that you will lower the car but not loose any suspension travel? The one thing the JIC have over all other is that but if the D2's have that than Im deffinately going with them.

Get them installed yet? Lets see some pics of the car with these coilovers installed. I am actually interested in this setup, this should fix my camber problem, my Eibachs/Tokico[blue] setup is getting old now too. Hows the ride? Is it too stiff?

1MAX2NV - How much camber adjustment is there in the plates 1.0 or 2.0 degrees or more. Just wonder cause for track purposes some negative camber is good and I was hopeing these had some decent adjustability when it comes to camber.
Thanks,
Bruce

Ksports are rebadged D2s. Different color and logo but still the same. Anyway, Ksports decided not to carry A32 application because lack of pre-order. I paid and waited for 2 months. I believe D2 Technik and D2 Racing are not affiliated.

Bruce...the camber plates look the same as the Stillen. What really hold maxima's camber plate adjustablity is the size of the strut mount hole. You can only move it so much. I'm just interested in getting the camber back to OEM spec.

Hey Bejay,
Thanks thats good to know but for road racing I dont go more than -2.0 deg of camber cause my turn in start to get to quick and I have to way to finese the searing and also I find my car lags on the straights cause of the camber.

But thanks for the input I like to hear how other people think and what they see as good and bad. Helps me make a decisions on what to do with my car.
Thanks,

So I dont like the idea of the car being so off balance. So Im going to a more adjustable suspension.
