Im a parts *****. Ive had TRD springs/struts, Air suspension and D2s on my car.

I have 3 sets of wheels, several different sub enclosures, 2 different exhausts.

You get the idea.

Bringing this thread back to life. What's the ideal spring rate on the D2 coilovers for xB. My friend is hooking me up on a set for a price I can't resist so I'm asking for opinion. Looks like this coilovers is not so popular among us.

Im the only person who has them that I know of thus far.
I have 4kg Front and 3kg rear. If you live in a rougher area you may want to get a 3kg for the front and opt to buy an extra set of 4kg springs just incase you want something stiffer.

how's the ride for 4kg front and 3kg rear. It doesn't sound right to have 3kg on both front and rear.

Brian, as you know I have a set that didn't come with instructions. I think I'm set, except I have no idea how to adjust the rear shocks. I hope for a break this weekend to for to put them in there. :D

jeer-

You should have 4 adjuster rods that came with it. One set is longer than the other if im not mistaken. They go into the shock from inside the car. The rod where you bolt them together is hollow.

Turning them to the right ( clockwise) makes them stiffer.

I took them off because i was getting a funny humming noise. I thought it may have been my alignment and the amount of camber i had. After putting some TRD springs on the car the noise was still there. It turned out to be tires wearing out.

I havent put them back on my car.
