D2 Coilovers (Couple pics)
Just installed my D2's .. for the most part it was pretty easy. As stated before the thing that took the longest was finding the ride height i wanted .. the ride isn't near as harsh as everyone said it would be or i assumed it would be lol ( and I'm 10 clicks away from the hardest setting) ... i prob have about an 1 more inch or so i could drop in the rear and about 1/2 an inch in the front ! Oklahoma roads suck so i chose just to get rid of the tire gap and call it good ! Any questions feel free to ask !
Thanks
Of course i'm sure you guys wanna see how they look so here's a couple quick pics ( sorry for the bad lighting .. i took them while i was at work ) i'll get some better ones up later
Update: 4/04/10
A week later and still going strong and love them :-) lol couple more pics

if you can take pics with a camera on the ground level of all the components, we can see how the height is adjustable, spring preload, spring perches, etc....
Did the rear come with a free nut? or was there a welded nut on the flange of the rear shock/coilover like the welded nut on the OEM shock???

If im right, the D2's are true coilovers............I have Ksports and I knew it was true coilover design in rear or i wasnt touching it..........Im very happy with my Ksports as they do the job for me, but I swear it took many calls to finally get a pic of what they were in the rear....its surprising how little some of the shops you purchase from actually know of the product...

well, i like to ask for pics mainly because all the dammn website out there have general pics of coilovers and not the actual units shown for a 350z.....
if you can take pics with a camera on the ground level of all the components, we can see how the height is adjustable, spring preload, spring perches, etc....

Thanks...in for the pics...
To my knowledge the lower cost options in true coil over set ups are:
About or under 1000 bucks shipped:
1. D2
2. Ksport
3. Stance

The car looks good. Just to let people know.... These were my old dampers and the rear have been modified to allow a lower drop. I don't think D2 made the modification to their product line that I helped them with. From the factory the rear don't go much below factory ride height. I had them modify the the rear dampers for me to lower the car further.
Sorry it took so long for me to get them to you. Enjoy them!
