nice man, why did u get these instead of tein basic damper. i still cant decide between these or the teins.

 

you coming to the meet in Richmond this month? I would love to check these out.

 

Tein basic damper doesn't come with upper pillow mount, no adjustable camber plates, no adjustable strut body and I don't think you can adjust the rebound either. Installation with the Tein will be much more involve too.

 

Oooooh anodized purple...NICE~!

 

looks good, cant wait for review

 

Wow.. great looking coilovers... These are definately in my future...

 

Do any of the socal guys know if this D2 is affiliated with the D2 place in Alhambra?

sexy coilovers dude..

 

cool

how much do those cost?

 

If I ever re-do my suspension, it'll definitly be with a set of those. For the price difference of some Illuminas and springs, it's not a very hard decision.

 

Mmmm purdy!!
can I get just the upper mount/camber plates for them?

 

very pretty......price???

 

I don't think so. Are you talking about the place that did that Fast and Furious hatchback?

 

I think so. $40 each I believe.

 

$750 shippped.

wow, nice!!!! man they make parts too pretty now a days...you end up not putting them on because they look so nice!

 

will the camper plates work for regualr struts?

 

I was wondering if i could make the pillow ball mounts and the camber plates works on my toser coilovers if they are the same design as the d2's. I would guess all the measurements would be the same?

 

so, are you coming down to the BBQ here in Richmond? I'd like to see how these things ride if you have them installed by then.

 

I'm going to be at Import Circuit show in Baltimore, MD on that day.

 

I know..it's going to be hard not to nick the surface of anodized aluminium. I'll try to be careful just like everything else on my car.

 

Wrap them up in masking tape before you start installing them.

 

wow... i wish i didn't buy my sprints and agx's!! either tein basics or the D2's would have been better choices. looks nice... hope they ride as well as they look.

 

They seem to mainly do euro cars...but i think that may be them.

 

i just wonder how you attach the abs and brake lines to the front strut/coilover?

Nick.

 

Very nice Tony.

 

So these just like the JICs just cheaper? My AGX struts feel shot after 50k miles on sprint springs, its time for coilovers.

 

They included metal brackets to hold brake lines. I think I might have to bend them to the correct shape.

 

Yeah..all the feature and look of JIC without the price. I was able to get partial sponsorship from JIC but the D2 are still cheaper.

 

this sounds like what i have been looking for ... your going to post up some more pics once you install right?

 

I'll post some pics up if all goes well this weekend. The only challenging part I can see is making sure I bend the bracket for the brake line correctly. Oh...and forking over $$ for an alignment afterwards. This will be my 3rd suspension setup and hopefully will be the last.

 

so, where did you purchase these from?

I paid via paypal and I got them about 25 days later.

 

Wow these things are nice. I wonder how they compare to JIC's. I was looking at JIC FLT a2's but now I am serously considering these. Let us know how they are. Im happy to see a company selling a comperable product to the big boys at a good price. Its also nice to see that there are so many more options now with parts. Just a few years ago there was no parts and the ones that were avaliable were expensive. But let us know how the install goes and then how the ride quality is too.

Thanks,
Bruce

 

Maybe, maybe not. On my Progress for instance the threading on the top of the strut piston is different than stock/Koni. Couldn't use the Stillen piston locknut (on their camber plate) and had to use a nut & washers to lock it. Also my top spring isolator wasn't a good combo either. Toser could be entirely different.

 

Thanks for the response, any other opinions?

 

So from the information I've gathered, if you wanted you could put these on your car and you could decide not to lower it at all? If so, that is crazy. I may just have to buy these, they look pretty sweet. Tell us how the install goes.

 

I heard Firestone or some wheel/tire store offers a lifetime alignment for $140, definitley worth it if your swapping out suspensions all the time, I wonder what the stipulations are? Anyone else heard of this?

 

I bought it, it was $120 a couple of years ago. I haven't been back since I've been lowered, I'll be sure to let everyone know if they refuse to align the car.

 

The question would be if they are willing to deal with camber plates??
