Rokkor Coilovers?

[3Peat]

Hey guys, just bought my ep completely stock minus a k&n intake and Nuespeed springs:p
I wanted to get suspension before anything, and i was lookin at D2 coilovers, but then found a set called "Rokkor". I've never heard of them, but i went on their website and they sounded all right and pretty legit.. idk.
Has anyone experienced anything with these or heard about them?
Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

They're racelands, just check the racelands thread.

Ground Controls not one of your choices?

I've had ground controls, best bang for you buck. awesome ride, no complaints, only negative is you can't go low on them. I have rokkors right now, Same shit as racelands, if you want to be low and dont want ride comfort get them, mine are bouncy as shit and are starting to clunk in the front, I've driven on them probably around 6000km so far, Just got my set of d2s in today, they look awesome, cant wait to get them installed.

Dude wasn't the lowest ep on ground controls back in the day?
Anyways, I agree the ride on the Ground Controls are great.
I love them, but I can have my car resting on my mid pipe and still go lower.
My car is pretty low as-is and I have the rears all the way up, and the Front's are still only half.
I say GC's go lowww

[jed_averill]

Yah I remembered you had those. IDK which one should I get this summer, Racelands or GC.

[PatrickJamesYu]

I say GC
They are upgradable as you go

You can get new shocks (koni's) in the future
Good customer service, custom spring rates/specs

No, I want a complete coilover. This way the dampening and spring rates go together.


I remember looking into gc when I first got the car but I don't know much about them.

[alex026]

yeah I had the GC's on koni Yellows but honestly I couldnt go low in the front I had to grind off that metal shield to lower it like half an inch more and it did nothing lol but yeah they were awesome, I'd say d2's good price and look very very legit.

GC's are nice and all, But not everyone is into a sleeve coil over. I have had D2's for over a year now and I am very pleased with them.

GCs and Koni Yellows are a nice combo Ive drivn cars with it before but I'd rather go full coilover. By the time you buy the konis and GCs youll be around the same costs as D2's

[ep3jd]

I installed D2s on my friend DC5S a while ago and instantly fell in love with then. He was on stock wheels, but the comfort to handling ratio was tits. And they go lowwww

Except with the Konis you actually have a good damper underneath you.

Street use and the occasional bat of spirited driving :msmile:

Well then just about any pre-built setup will probably fit your needs.

If you were setting your car up for competition I'd say avoid 99.9% of the prebuilts out there, but your not so... go nuts.
