Custom spring rates, I’ll elaborate once I post a review of the system.
Initial thoughts: Coilovers are MUCH lighter than the Teins. ~ 5 lbs. Quality and build look up to par with your other major high $$$ coilover manufacturers (JIC, KW, etc.)
More to follow…

Some questions you may have:

Who are D2? Who uses D2? What background in the racing world does this manufacturer have?

Some answers:

Project Rx3 is nearing completion :slight_smile:

Nice! But you better not have paid retail… since Bing240sx can get them at / below cost…

And don’t drive them durring the winter!!! Or say bye-bye to your investment.

i have seen those before. :tup:

i believe mike (innovative tuning) is actually a reseller.

very nice coilovers, bing loves his on his 240

… only because he’s had them rebuilt like 5 times already for free :slight_smile:

RICK! OMG! You turned WHITE!

lol lol j/k

Nice bro… I really really hope it was worth the wait…

hrm, sexy :slight_smile:

no external res., no care!

just kidddding, hot rick.

i was thinking about these for the maxima

lol, i was gonna say the same thing :slight_smile:

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA…i was thinking the same thing

anyways…they look good…can’t wait to see em on the car…

how long did u actually wait for these?.

Actually, I got them below Bing’s cost :wink:

Yeah, after the overhaul I am in the process of doing on doing to the car, looks like it probably will not see the winter for the forseeable future.

oh wow…nice buy Rick! :tup:

so shiny and nice…cant wait to see them on your car

looks good. now less picture taking and more installing.

Sweet purchase, IMO suspension mods are just as fun and sometimes more fun than go-fast mods

Yeah yeah yeah, I’m working on that :slight_smile: Probably be in the lab tonight doing final inventory on hardware needed.

P.S. Packed your shit in a box come and get it before I feed it to the ducks :stuck_out_tongue: Oh, and BTW, energy drink works better than PB Blaster for loosening rusty bolts. :slight_smile:

Looks linear… I would expect nothing less from purple shocks

Yeah,the only think I’m iffy on is the bound/rebound is 50/50 for this particular model I think. But it does have a digressive curve up front, although the max force in high speed bump is a bit much.

really??? on the energy drink, ??

but more expensive lol

when i worked at firestone we had this rust penatrent that just said firestone on it, worked wonders wayyyy better then pb blaster
