We are letting some Brand new D2 coilovers go for $979 (+3% using paypal) shipped to your door. We use them on our 350z drift car and are very very happy with them. Let me know if your interested. Thanks

They are a waste of money. Look for something else. The shocks don't fit the car. I had to have custom mounts made. I only went through that hastle because I wasn't going to just throw the money out and dump them in tha garbage. There was "ZERO" R&D done by the company for the 350Z application. We complained to the comany and got nothing. Finally just gave up. You want to get ****ed? Buy D2 !! There is a documented histroy in the archives if you do a search for D2. You will see all the problems I and others had. Beware of vendors telling you "they are very very happy".

JET, that is good to know. Shouldn't there be some sort of repremand for vendors that purposefully misinform potential customers such as what Brock did above?

Surprisingly enough, Braile actually has D2's on their drift car and are very happy with them. I am not defending D2's quality of a coilover, however I am defending a fellow vendor.

He must be aware that the D2 coilovers at their lowest setting are at OEM ride height. Not just my problem. I'm aware of 4 people on this forum with the same situation as me.

Once they are out the door and installed on your car only then to realize your dilema you now own them. No way is Braille going to take them back. And that sucks.

Thank you drumma. We really do have these on our drift car and we really are happy with them. As for the ride height being the same as stock, I dont know about that problem because our car is really pretty low.

well thats ignorant.... they suck because there is no real engineering behind them...there is no quality behind their springs or their struts. They are just manufactured cheap as hell.

I guarantee i could come up with a part design, have the correct springs, and have the proper valving for a vehicle, and have it assembled and the body's made in taiwan, and it would be a great product. Don't judge on the company where something is manufactured.... judge based on research and design.
