Default D2 Coilovers

The D2's can downright slam the car if you want. I've got pics at home i can send you. When i first put them on with no adjustment, the car was SLAMMED. I had to adjust it up so the wife could drive it.

Kyle, when did you get your D2 racing coilovers? I believe you got the 36mm valving because that was the last generation of coilover that D2 made and I have done alot of testing for them and found that it wasn't sufficient for any aggressive driving or track use and resulted in premature shock damage. So now, we've gone to the new 44mm valving and new spring rates.

Not quite sure who you've done testing for, nor does it matter. But just so happens THE company who is the sole importer of D2 Coilovers into the US happens to be a good friend of mine.

But i'm still confused about what you said concerning the valve size...valving doesn't have anything to do with "44mm or 36mm" those are piston sizes, you don't measure valving in mm.

And the change in valving and spring rates started on coilovers produced after jan 1 2007 so i would say that i have the older set because he said mine was bought right before then...as his inventory.
