D2 Coilovers?

[TK_33]

Hi guy's, I have just bought myself my first skyline and it has D2 coilovers currently on the car. The ride seems extremely hard..

The guy who had before me has the car sitting fairly low. Has anyone had them? and if so were they able to adjust them to a comfortable drive? Or are they fairly bumpy coilovers? The car also has adjustable camper and castor and sway bars.

They're renowned for being hard, i dont think u' be able to change them much.

your only option is to change springs to a softer spring.

Your going to have to bump up the damper rates to accomodate for the softer spring though

I believe changing to softer spring usually means it needs to be revalved.

Most coilovers are good for track only so you should get them changed. Overly bumpy ride can cause problems.

Go for coilovers with 6 or 5KG spring front, and 5 or 4KG rear (6/5, 5/4) and you'll get a firmer ride without the exessive harshness. D2 and G4...etc coilovers are usually around 10KG, which is way to hard for the dodgy sydney roads.

Thanks, I thought that might be the case. Oh well, I think a set of teins are in order.

I have D2s on my car... actually strikes a good balance in my opinion. They are damper adjustable... not sure if its bound/rebound .... but just thought id add my 2 cents...

Ive heard that some teins are ridiculously firm also... so make sure you do your research before you buy.
