Well I'm not sure what factory they're made in but I'm speaking from experience...my car has bc's and I've been in a max with Meagan's and they are both similar but bc's feel much better when the car is as low as mines is...my boy has d2's and they ride like Meagan's set on stiff..a little aggressive but still comfortable even when you have the car kissing the floor...another advantage of those is that you can slam the **** out of them...my bc's are at their lowest point and his car is still lower on mines with room to go lower on the d2's...k sports IMO ride like ****...stiff bouncy ride even when just moderately low and once you slam avoid as much potholes as you can...ive been in a 4th gen with k sports and on those cars they feel great but i wouldnt recommend for a 5.5..all this was based on my experiences with them and not jus what I read on the internet

Check your VIN plate under the hood on the firewall to see if it has HSLD. If it does, you will have the letter H. If not, it will be the letter A.

Maybe D2's have lower spring rates for a softer ride but their valving is practically the same compared to KSport's and I've seen shock dynos in the past to prove it. If they have the same valving with the same spring rates then they should ride the same.

yea man these se-rs are boss. Im never parting with them, ever. I would rather save up 800+ for new rims to then to sell these. But i always randomly come across these for sale so keep an eye out.

Yea man thats the fully loaded max. IF you had one cloth you can always buy seats and interior and swap it out! OR do a 6 speed swap if you really want too,.
