D2 Coilovers

I saw this on Ebay and was intrigued by the features.

Sounds nice on paper, full adjustable strut mount and spring perch (like tein flex), pillowball mount (tein flex), 36 way adjustable shock and camber plates (which no tsx coilover has AFAIK).

I never heard of them so I did a search on clubrsx for the product line and found some informative threads.

link1
link2

I can't come to a conclusion, maybe if someone buys them they can give a review.

I don't think we can change the camber with that on our car because of the wishbone suspension.

true, hadn't even occured to me, maybe there's a good reason why no coilover has camber plates. which kinda makes these scary

Maybe they have a TSX application but they don't have a pic of it yet. That's the RSX coilover-note the pitman arm at the bottom for the steering linkage......

Ask LOC888. A few memebrs on the forums from Australia have the D2's. They say it's a good value and coilover. Haven't heard anything negative about them.

Buddy Club has a set like those pictured above as well, but not sure they have an application for the TSX yet. Might wanna contact them too. www.buddyclub.us

The coilovers in the pic look pretty good. However, I would do a little more research on them before putting the money down for a set. I didn't read the links, so I don't know. But here is an important thing that I would find out (if I were to consider these). Can these be rebuilt? If so, where? Is there a service center here in the States to rebuild them? Are there other spring rates to choose from? No shocks can last forever, so if they can be rebuilt, it's a plus. If there is a service center here in the States, that's even better. Anyway, just wanna throw my worth in here.

since the topic of rebuilt came up can teins be rebuilt. being that they are such a highly reputable company it would lead me to believe that they can be but i was curious.

D2 coilovers are made by a small company in Taiwan, they are a lesser grade copy of real coilovers made in Japan such as Tein.

I offer both systems...Tein is great, but for some customers the D2 is a much better deal.

The D2 do have a high quality look and feel to them. I like them. Otherwise, I would not offer them. As near as I can tell, the quality is not suffering. The price is simply a function of them being made in Taiwan.
