Well since I got my engine work for the most part done this summer, I’m looking at saving u over the winter and purschasing some coilovers. Problem is being a student I don’t have huge amounts of money for some HKS Hiper Pro’s or TEIN FLEX’s. Two coilover setups that are getting really good reviews are the Megan Racing and the SPL KTS’s. Both are about the same price, have camber plates,8KG/6KG spring rates, pillowball mounts and relatively same dampening adjustability. I was thinking D2’s but with the whole recall deal best bet is to stay away from them. Anyone used either of these coilovers on the street or for AutoX/Intro Drifting use? ---

Yea the megans are nice but i have d2’s with 7 and 9 spring rates and they feel about the same hardness as flavio’s. I just wish the megan’s came with a spring rate between 6/8 and 10/12. Mine might sound stiff but they are 100% streetable ---

D2s are…kinda…shitty. Sorry for bursting your bubble Rob. And meagan does come with 6/8 or 10/12 for the track series (Probably way to stiff for the street) ---

It doesn’t help that Rob was actually TRYING to drift the corners. :E I wouldn’t start a timeslip war, cause the ITR owned EVERYBODY. ---

my mistake i thought megans were 7/5’s It also helps when you have more rubber on the ground than me. Also it was not really that good of a day for turbo’d cars, too cold = no traction when boost comes ---

Flavio, you have coilovers as well. He was running sport tires, not R compounds and so were you. He set faster times than you - there’s no shame in it, especially since you were only 0.8s behind. Shane is a really really fucking good driver. Mod for mod, you had just as many as he did. I suppose it doesn’t help that his car is significantly more powerful than yours from the factory, but still - good driving by all the top 5. I’ll tell you the car I was most impressed by was the Matrix driven by Charles Onhua - there is no way a Matrix should be handling like that. 🙂 ---

Being 3500lbs its stiff but not impossible. ---

Im running D2’s on my car and im finding they are really freakin great! Very streetable and fun for the track. Plus ive had no problems so far, im pretty sure theyve taken care of any issues from before. Ive also been told they are made in the same factory as the megan coilovers and on the dyno they tested identical. So dont write off the D2’s yet, im sure you wouldnt regret going with them. Im not sure what they come with for springs though, anyone know? Im thinking 5/7 but not sure. ---
