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: ![http://www.danielf1.de/mediac/400_0/media/jeandtm2.jpg](http://www.danielf1.de/mediac/400_0/media/jeandtm2.jpg) ![http://www.kcs.ch/MariusCars2/monat_800.jpg](http://www.kcs.ch/MariusCars2/monat_800.jpg) Project Rx3 is nearing completion 🙂 ---

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. ---

> [@Ninja](#): > > 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. ---
