Looks good!

How do you like them? Is that at "full down?"

I'm shopping for coilovers, and don't know a whole lot about the D2s yet.

Thanks. I like them b/c they ride great. Theyre very comfortable, unlike what I had heard about them being stiff/rough.

My only gripe is... that's at MAX height. I can probably push it up another 1/4" or so. The rear can go higher, but the front... it's limited.

Hmm. The mounting point is all the way down... which means its at its highest point. I could lay the car on the ground if I wanted to with these coilovers.

like how i pm you back. that is not the max high. Max height is acctually higher thatn the factory height. don't worry about making the mount and threaded shaft flush. let it hang a little until there is no rubbage. they are stronger than you think. and forgot to include the camber answer when you pm me. camber on D2, ksport and any other coilovers for our box that comes with a camber plates. supprisingly they aren't as useful. to get mine into specs i had to pull the plate all the way in. i hear this from other brand owners too. i will have to buy camber pins at the auto shop so i can have some camber to play with. here is how mine looks like between the mount and shaft.

I love them so far. My only complaint is that the rear is too soft. With any other wheels (regular offsets) it should be fine, but with these 0 offset *****, only 1 person has sat in the back and it rubs on bumps or turns. I heard that D2 has higher spring rates for the rear, I'm going to call to find out today.

I just called D2 and asked about a higher spring rate spring for the rear. They told me that they dont have anything higher than what it already comes with.

So I guess I will be doing what 'wanachat15' is doing and going with a rear sway to stiffen things up in the rear.

Thank. All I want is a black grille (perhaps badgeless), debadge the rear (scion emblem) and add some boom boom.

I just want a lightly modded, comfortable xB. So for now, I'm just about done except for those few things I mentioned.

From what I've seen around Front 6kg/mm Rear 3kg/mm (supposedly same as stock).

hey glad you like them. just hope you're not too bumbed out about the softness of the back. check other brands too. i think the rear springs of other brands should be the same size and might fit the d2 collar and mounts. i could be wrong. ask around and find out. teins could the first place to start. i'll do deeper research next week when i have free time.

Eibach also seems to make an infinite amount of spring rates.
Im sure they have something that will fit.

Looks great. Though I will never buy those, living in MN they would turn my front bumper in to a snow plow.
