just finished installing my D2's earlier today.....took my a long long time, but with the help of some of my friends including Type X (thanks again mang ;))

ran into the usual newb problems that caused some delay...(driveshaft came out had to do the wiggle and push method)

sorry theres not many pics....but it got dark and did not want to keep taking pics....i was supposed to wash it after i was done but it got late...so ill throw some more pics when i was it, so you guys can see how they settled in.

well hers just a couple of pics....hope you like :)

oh man, haha you should keep the rear at stock height... that looks sweet, and some extra downforce probably.

they have some big negative camber as well to help aid in the turn in..

how does the suspension feel? does it feel alright? how is the adjustments, are they hard/easy?

hey everyone....thanks for the comments and questions....the installation was a bitch for me because it was my first time but i got through it ok with some help. as far as the ride....after i set it at a certain height i took it for a spin and first thing i noticed was BOUNCE BOUNCE BOUNCE.....i pulled over and adjusted the fronts till they were firm....pulled away and it felt great....yea you hit a pothole and it hurts...but other than that the ride is not harsh at all and was very pleased at how comfortable it was.....i have the rear just a bit lower than the front at the moment...maybe like half a finger...but im gonna even it out hopefully tomorrow....this is my first coilover kit and i have to say that this kit is awesome for what its worth.....i would highly recommend these to anyone looking for daily driving, auto-x, or drag....and remember you can get custom spring rates to your desire...hope i have answered some questions for you guys, just let me know if theres anything else you'd like to know.

im gonna be posting some pics as well in the members rides section.

thanks again for the comments.

ONE thing ive been wondering with the custom spring rates- while very appealing to me... i want to know if they just slap the stiffer springs on? or are the strut internals also revalved to handle the new spring rates?
cuz whats the use of underdampened springs? as IF im not bouncin around enough on skunks:D

lol.....if you want a lil more info on the custom spring rates you can pm bioevolve. i believe hes one of the members who ordered these as well and went with a custom spring rate of 6k in front and 13k in rear for his drag setup. if not then hopefully mike at urban imports can clarify some of the questions :)

what are your spring rates? how easy is it to adjust the height? i take it you can just the dampening from the top of the strut? Nice setup but not feelin your white rims on silver.

my spring rates are 8k in front and 10k in the rear.....as far as adjusting the height, for the front and rear i jack the car a bit and adjust it from underneath without removing wheel....but if im raising the wheel i do it with wheels off because its a little rougher...yea you can adjust the dampening from the top of the strut

yea i figured everyones taste was going to be different towards the rims....i've grown attached to them and always told myself that they would look better when it was dropped....and i guess they dont look too bad but i appreciate your honesty :)
