D2 Racing Suspension, What u fink of it??

[Steve]

wrong thread dude, try doing a search - I answered you question, but if you want to discuss it in detail, whoring threads isnt polite.

steve, to confirm your queries, the guy who owned these shockies (he now runs teins which he also thinks are average) bought them new and had them in his car for about 6months from memory. i think the set-up was done by a very reputable bloke here in canberra by the name of chris eldridge (inline steering and suspension). chris is a bilstein/eibach distributer for australia so given, his views are probably swung somewhat as he has a vested interest in his own product, but he is honest and the quality of his work is second to none. he does all my chassis work too. rest assured they were set-up properly.

this guy (nick) had them re-adjusted about half a dozen times while they were in his car and they demonstrated changing characteristics all the time. he constantly referred to his shocks as having a mind of their own! maybe he lucked-out with his set and they were simply a bad batch or whatnot.

how have you found yours? you happy with them.

and re: location of manufacture. i wholeheartedly stand by my belief that it dosn't matter WHERE they're made, but WHO they're made by. it doesn't matter if they're japanese or korean or german or american, if they're produced with quality materials and workmanship, thats where the difference counts.

Sounds like he did luck out.

I asked because unfortuneatly often you see comments that arent qualified, and are nothing more than rumour - so thanks for the back ground.

I havent had an major problems with mine, I am very happy for the dollars I paid.

Seems strange that your friend isnt happy with his tiens - the only negative comments I have heard about them is people thinking they are too hard. Maybe he would be more suited to a softer setup, like an eiback/bilstein combination - R&D can be a bitch.

D2s are fully rebuildable, and come with 12 month warranty, no problems so far, so yeah, very happy.

[djhatton]

hehe i understand fully. too many people jump onto forums and regurgitate what they've read/heard/created in their heads! either way... good for you dude! hehe. if you're happy with the d2's, thats all that matters!

nick reckons his teins aren't flexible enough. he's had them rebuilt and they improved out of sight but still thinks they're too firm. his beastie is pranged at the mo and he's bent lots under the front arches, so chances are he'll have the excuse he needs to go out and invest in the quadrant/drummond set up that he keeps telling me is too expensive. haha

and, very OT, he's thinking about a 4g63 conversion too! how cool would that be!??!!

just as a "fix" to my previous posts, it in fact WASN'T chris at inline that did the work on this car as i found out today. it was another mob in canberra that i've heard horrible things about (and shall remain nameless) that performed the installation and set-up.

apologies to all who were swung off d2 suspension. i now return my opinions on this product to neutral. i wouldn't be surprised if it were just poor set-up to blame on this guy's car.

are these made of alluminium or iron/steel?

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
