i've got some installed in my Cefiro, best suspension i've had in it to date. Has height, damping, camber, rebound adjustents etc. a, and it cost me $1325 delivered to adelaide on a group buy.

[LOTR]

have seen it come off drift car with bent shaft :werd:

driver said it felt funny [no rebound or bump will do that]

have only seen this happen in accidents

you get what you PAY for :burnout:

Well i have a33 gtr and the D2 is the best suspension i have ever had .It rides great on the road,and its not rigid and hard when you hit ruts and bumps,it makes my car ride smooth and the corner handleing is outstanding.Then when i do the odd track day ,takes no time at all, to wind them up harder for track use.On this gtr and my other 2 gtst i have used apexi n1,hks hypermax,tein and bilstiens with also trying different spring rates on all,and the D2 have just been a alround better ride.Dont get me wrong the other brands i listed still did the job, but not like the D2 and the price of them is great.

Cheers 4 the comments for every1..they seem 2 b nice suspension.

im also interested in this suspension for my r33 gtst, does the package for my car also include camber adjust???, would it be reccomended to get a camber kit once i lower my car??

[9krpm]

how much for a set and do they make it for the R32GTR?

[MRZILA]

yeh they make them for a 32....$1850 from just jap (sydney)

[Cazisk]

I GOT EM IN MY CAR! lol

they good i reckon, a little rough specially for the crappy roads, but feels solid on track days, etc.

[nsta]

how easy was it to setup???how low have you gone with the springs?,and what setting did you adjust the damper....

A little cheaper if you go through Nissan Silvia (http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...showtopic=99437). I think they also give SAU NSW club members a discount.

Would love to hear from those who have had Whitelines and/or Bilsteins...

R33's are the same as R32's I believe, with double wishbones... a top mount camber slide wont work. Adjustable arms or camber pins are the way. :run:

I got a set in my r33 gts-t, i pay $1400 install got 1 year warrerty too,

awsome setup, to adjust the height u dont change the spring rate, but u can adjust the spring rate but only by abit.

Very easy to setup, to adjust the damper you just spin the top left or right, hieght is very easy can do with the front wheels on if you know what your doing

I find them ok for the money I guess, not quite enough dampening in them for my liking - also, on my rears, with them wound up fully tight, one side has heavier dampening than the other????? weird, but they are cheapies.

i've heard they can fail when put under extreme abuse. a guy here in canberra just bought them for his s13 silvia and he reckons they're pretty cheap and nasty. said he'd set them up the way he likes them, and after a few weeks they'd behave completely differently!

spose thats why bilstein/dms/etc etc is so expensive. simple laws of economics dictate that you get what you pay for i spose!

Any coilover could fall apart under 'abuse', can you quantify a little? Who told you, and under what circumstances?

Has your friend ever used new coilovers before? Has he adjusted them correctly?

I have a pair on my S13, which I bought about 5000kms ago. When you buy new suspension, the springs will sag a little, and they may need re-adjusting, depending on how much pre-load you place on them.

D2, from what I have been told, have in the last year started manufacturing in the UK, the quality of the materials and workmanship externally are pretty good on mine, comparable with the kei office ones I have owned, or silk roads. Its interesting that alot of coilovers out of japan are made in places like china and taiwan - to the jap specifications.

If I had a bad thing to say, it would be that I would have liked extra (harder) dampening adjustment for the rears - I suppose its my own fault for not buying the drift spec ones.

dollar for dollar, there isnt much that will compare, that I have seen.

Hey im keen on getting this for my r33, whats the easiest way to adjust the camber for the front/rear for these cars(coupe), and how much do you need for track use....?

[Steve]

R33 has double wishbone - so you need adjustable camber arms or bushes to change the camber.

Good place to start for track is around 2 deg neg on the front and 1 to 1.5 on the rear

[nsta]

would that be too aggressive a setting for street use as well
