...my car is lowered, but on springs. I personally wouldn't know the difference in the ride between the coilovers. One thing to keep in mind, when lowering a vehicle, it's going to ride a little firmer/rougher. If you lower it an inch or two, you are taking away travel in the suspension, so the new setup has to keep the car from bottoming out & this is where the firmness comes into play. My car is dropped 2 inches & really doesn't ride that bad, but some bumps or rough roads will remind me that I'm literally on the ground...lol......good luck with your decision !!!

.....thats why you are able to run the 245 on the front,because of the 8in wide rim.The OP is using a 10in wide rim & thats why I told him it may rub

Have not seen anyone in the posts with this setup. Anyone comment!? Yes, I will likely run D2 coilovers. Curious about Fitment . Looking for a clean stance, not overly aggressive.
i have 19x10 et 38 all around. 255/35/19 in front it would hit the control arm turning so i added a 3mm spacer. 285/35/19 in the rear rubs occasionally on big dips

you are correct, they are firm at the minimum setting. I thought they would be softer. I chose the D2s because of price and what I was told on the forum. A CL sponsor sold me the coilovers. I thought they seemed okay to give them a try. Plus there are virtually no options in the normal dampners for our cars.

have you used coilovers on previous cars and are there softer riding versions?

Default Offset Question

Just wondering with the +25mm offset, would you wheel still fit under the fender, or is it flush, or is it sticking out past the fender? Thanks in advance.
