dan294 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I've got the option to get a set of new D2 coilovers at the right money as their main distributor is literally round the corner from me. I realise you get what you pay for etc, but I just want to know if anyone has used them and what are they like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
add heywood Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Been looking at these for the mr2, would be good to know what they are like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuneR Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I had a set on my S2000 before, very stiff but iirc correctly they've changed the spring rates since then. They were fine on main roads and track but too stiff on rural roads. I didn't have any problems with mine either, did about 22k km in 4 years on them from new and when i sold them they were fine bar some surface corrosion on the springs. I have heard of damper leak issues though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan294 Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 Was the damper leaking issue on the older versions though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benkei Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 D2s are popular amongst Hondas. If it were for the Supra then I'd feel better about saving a little more and getting HSDs or BCs, which a lot of members here use and are very pleased with. tried and tested and all that...

Fair point, was just pondering different options really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price is a good bit off the prices they are on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 What shocks and springs do you currently have fitted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan294 Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 What shocks and springs do you currently have fitted? Bilsteins with stock springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rsand85 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Been looking at these for the mr2, would be good to know what they are like... had these on my mr2 turbo and would def say well worth the cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus GTE Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Got them on mine and they are pretty good on rd. I'd like it if they had rebound dampening though to make it smoother through sharp dips in the rd etc. I like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt k Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Very good IMHO, but have a low ride height at the front and are very firm, handling wise, I had the lance wheel alignment and it was very settled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 The internal valving is as crude as it comes, and the seals and top bearing are very basic. Not a patch on the Bilsteins you already have, assuming they are the German made ones. In fact, to improve on German built Bilsteins you need to pay quite a lot of money and be up into mid range stuff like Nitrons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
