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

 

Lookin' good!! Probably one of the few times I like those Side UnderWings too!

 

Lol thanks man !

 

looks good the ride is gonna change a little once broken in. you think okc rodes suck try ny lol

 

can someone please attach the pics to my350z?

Any pics of the actual install? or of the D2's themselves......any from under the car etc?

-J

 

Haha yea i've visited NY a couple times and there's no way i could own any lowered car there lol !

And to answer Jason .. i had planned on taking a bunch of pics as i was going through the install ... but i ended up getting to excited and forgot to take some lol ... but i can def get some pics of whatever you want lol .. just let me know what you wanna see !

 

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....

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???

^ you should see them after winter when its 10xs worse from the snow blows. Its literally like driving through a war zone. When i was in okc I remember the roads being just as good as floridas

 

i wasnt familiar with the d2's but they seem to be some nice budget coils. keep us posted for $910 shipped i might pick these up

 

Have heard these are a good value. Very popular in Europe.
Surely priced right. Looks awesome to boot!

 

looks good

 

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...

-J

 

Sure.. i can get some pics of that here today or tomorrow i'll take the rear wheel off !

and it came with a free nut for the rear assembly .. and yea its a true coilover setup in the rear ..

 

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
?
?

BC Racing?

 

to the op - LOWER >

and bc racing is what i got $1085 shipped

importimageracing.com ftw

 

So far soo good ! ride quality hasn't changed much if at all yet .. itching to take it down a little more lol

 

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!

 

Oh thats right ! you did say something about them being modified !

And no problem man .. well worth the wait :-)

 

I just got some D2 coilovers installed on my Z and they're great !!!!
