D2 coilovers

Well thats certainly made my mind up for me now for sure!

Suspension is really so vital its not something you want to go cheap on & compromise quality for dollars.
Since you already have a set of H&R springs I think you're best option would be to match them up with a set of Bilstein B8s struts/dampers. I have been in a polo with this combo and its awesome. Dead flat around corners yet the ride comfort is uncompromised. These are not adjustable though but that really wont matter unless you are into any sort of serious track work.

And to second that, how many people really know how to set up coilovers anyways... Every change you make (rebound, damping, camber, castor, toe, etc) is a compromise of something else. Don't forget to get it corner weighed either. Many brands (Racing Logic for one, I can't confirm D2) sold here also don't meet ADR requirements due to the vehicle weight being concentrated on the height adjustable thread and not a fixed point.

But hey, each to their own.

i wouldnt trust them!

I don't know why you wouldn't trust them because of this thread. This guy has slammed into something and you'd probably be hard up to find any suspension that at least wouldn't bend under the same situation.

I know a couple of people running the D2's and they've never had an issue. One of them has them on his track car (S13 with 250kW atw). He's done about 10 track days sofar without a problem.

It comes down to the old saying "you get what you pay for". Obviously they won't be as refined as a set of Bilstein coilovers but then again they're about 1/4 of the price so you wouldn't expect them to be. Another advantage to these is that they haven't been as affected by the plummit in the aussie dollar so you can still get a set for a decent price.

At the end of the day it's up to you. I'd personnally consider the D2's and as long as you don't want to be tracking the car all day every day you will probably never have a problem.

BTW they have a team in a few of the drift comps around the place (Aus and USA I think) and they never seem to have a problem. Obviously they would be replacing parts more often than you or me but you don't see them breaking half way through a run (and they get punished).

Why go D2 when Hottuning are $950 and work great on the track

[Lorenz]

The D2s from what I have experienced in other cars (mainly Jap cars) are pretty average for the price. There are far better coils out there for the same price that handle better and are alot more compfortable on the road. Ive seen a few sets crap themselves quickly and one set bend shafts
Im running a set of HotTuning coils and so far they have been great. Really compfy for normal day to day driving and although I havent tested them on the track yet, have held up nicely and handle well pushing it in the hills.

Also looking at the pics it hit a wall pretty damn hard.

I cant see any panel damage that would indicate it hit a wall.

What I can see in those photos is both the left and right, or is it front and back are stuffed. If you look at the photos one shows a bent strut and the other photo a snapped strut. They are not the same one as you can see in one of the photos the bolt hole has also ripped through. But the one bent in half has not been sheared at the bolt hole.
