^^ Megan, KSport, D2, Buddy Club... it all the same coilover made by the same company in Taiwan http://www.bcec.com.tw/products/scion.html , just with different spring rates. I wouldn't buy products from a company that ripped off a German cell phone company logo to make there product seem cool.

How do you guys fit those dampening pins without modification (holes) in the trunk carpet and windshield wiper cowling? I want a certain coilover, but after seeing how high those dumb pins protrude from the shock makes it seem like it won't fit under the cowling and carpet.

Who knows? The problem is you run the risk of those coilovers never being properly tested on the tC. People seem to have success with the KSport coilovers while Megan Racing completely missed the setup... same manufacturer, totally different results that makes me think KSport did their homework, and Megan just guessed. However, it seems both companies have decent customer service; can the same be said for D2? If something goes wrong with the coilovers, can you reach D2 and get them replaced like people have with Megan and KSport? If I were in your position, I'd spend a little more money on KSport.

FWIW D2 Racing strikes me as a VERY shady company. They market their products utilizing the same sponsor logo used in German DTM racing to give people the false impression that those cars use D2 Racing suspension products.


^^ D2 Racing^^


^^What many people don't get is that D2 is the German division of Vodafone... they sell cellphone service, not suspensions.^^
