I'd vote for the custom spec D2 racing rs coilover setup. I'm willing to put money on it that the setup I have will out perform any new coilover for less than $1200. What do I know about coilovers anyway huh? After all, I'm just an pure enthusiast that's all....

Yes, all of my cars and friends cars roll on D2 coilovers. When I mean custom spec, I meant that I independently had the coilover design to my spec which is totally different from what they offer to the general public or any of their distributor.

i had flex on my evo and there really isn't a comparison. its just.. different. different car, handling in general, so i can't compare. it is much louder than my previous s techs i had on the car, but i dont care about all that. here's your photo taken after i raised it up an inch and a half, lets just say cali roads SUCK! they'll put a whole new meaning to 'low and slow'! enjoy which ever you choose![IMG][/IMG]
