Default D2 coilovers?

I can get these at cost through a friend of mine. I was wondering if anyone has them on their xB?

If so, how low can they go? Are the struts and shocks adjustable? Any pictures?

thanks

I heard about them. I think I mentioned about it a few months back but few are interested in them.

I believe KSport and D2 coilovers are the same...just in different anodized parts. What I like about them is that you can order them with custom spring rates...

D2 has a excellent TRACK record for racing
they build road race civics and rally Evo's
these won't be the lowest
but they will probably be the best handling coilovers out there

well i have one friend who has them on his 240 and they will slam the car ALOT.

Another friend has them on order for his MR2 and he was telling me how the strut bodies are threaded all the way down and how you could change the hieght of the spring without losing suspension travel...

From the D2 website
The spring rates are the following
front : 6/336
rear : 3/168

Thats a REALLY stiff front spring rate right?

yeah, i was thinking the same thing. You can order it with custom spring rates, maybe Ill opt for 228lbs springs. Thats a lot more liveable on our roads.
228 and 285 would be the options that are softer...

my friend who can get them for me at cost has them on his S2000 and his 240sx. Definetly a nice setup.
The drop will be 3.5-4.7 inches.

I got an email from D2 and they said that the spring rate that comes with the set for the xB is track only and that it would be a pretty stiff ride on the streets.

I will get a lower rate and report back.
