Blitz Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Have you seen their new G4 coilovers for $1399? Similar to D2 with different rate springs available.

Esco Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I installed a pair on my friends S15, they are quite good,not to hard and u can wind'em down low. Obviously they wont be as good as the higher priced jap ones but they still do there job, I would recommend them Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/110077-justjap-d2-coilovers/#findComment-2029372 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Knack Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 (edited) I've got a set in my Silvia and they are so much better than stock suspension. Car sits nice and flat through the corners and feels sharper. For me it was a good choice. The D2s come in different sprin rates and different oil/gas and valving setups for Street, Track, Drift and Rally... I went with the streets and went 2kg lighter than the "standard" because NQ roads are not the best in some places... You would probably go harder springs and the correct type if you were going to use them for drift/circuit or rally (probably not in an skylines...). Have a chat to your provider and they will get you the right stuff. Or have a look at the D2 website for all the details so you know what is available and what they say is standard for your car. Cheers Adrian PS. Mine took about 500km to run in nicely. Before that they felt very hard and bouncy. Afterwards they were/are great.

Wink Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Are D2 a well established brand? They sponsor the CLK-GTR LM race car: From this sponsorship I always thought they were some high end Euro brand but these cheap coilovers seem to belie this theory.

NateR31 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 coilovers eliminate some body body roll, camber/damper/highett, none of which kingsprings on a stock strut can do. when i got some it got rid of alomost %50 of body roll. but if you arent going to the track or anything like that i dont see the point why you need them other than to say "hey look i have coilovers" Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/110077-justjap-d2-coilovers/#findComment-2034176 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydneykid Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Some clarification; 1 Body roll should be controlled with the anti roll (stabiliser) bars, springs are there to hold the car up and absorb bumps. If you have a spring rate high enough to limit the roll substantially, it will be too high to absorb the bumps. 2. On a double wishbone car (like R32/33/34 Skylines) camber is adjusted via the control arms, not the shock/spring unit. 3. You can buy the Kings/Whiteline etc springs in the correct height 4. The Bilstein shocks in the Group Buy come with additional circlip grooves so that you can further fine tune the height. 5. R32/33/34 Skylines come with coil overs standard (the coil spring is located around the shock absorber, hence coil over) Check out the Group Buy thread for more details, and some feedback from the 50 or so guys that have bought kits. cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/110077-justjap-d2-coilovers/#findComment-2035486 Share on other sites More sharing options...
