Default D2 RACING COILOVER MUST SUCK IF NO ONE USES THEM

im trying to research on some d2 coilovers for my ek9 hatch but i cant find much. i here they are like tein flex but really cheap.

if they are really cheap and good why doesnt alot of people use them. every rather have some koni yellows w/ gc

i can get a good deal on them but i wont buy them if i dont know anything about them.

You have an EK9?

Seriously though I'm sure you won't be dissapointed with them. I was thinking about getting a set myself.

i have a friend that has them on a eg and said they were pretty good. but i cant make a decision when only one or two people like them and i cant find anything on this site.
so i might just get some koni yellow and gc since everyone likes them.

why get something everyone likes. you might not even like the koni/gc set up. if price doesnt bug you get the koni/gc, but if it does get the d2's. your car, your ride, your setup.

i have kyb agx and gc on my 94 accord. its by no means a race car, practically stock minus suspension and wheels. to be honest i drive the **** out of it and the set up is doing pretty well. the ride is smooth but i cant really comment on the performance. i bought this set up just to have something low that rode well and thats pretty much what i got.

my friend has hks coilovers on his eg and it is the worst riding car ive ever been in. waaayyy too bouncy, like to the point of being hazardous.

im probably going to be running d2's on my ef which will be street driven but used for drag racing frequently.

I have D2's on my EG, i love them, much better the then stock shock + king springs i had in before, really nice and stiff, maybe alittle too stiff... roads over here in Australia suck and theres just way too many bumps in the road, but if it was used for track, then these coilovers are a great entry level coilover.

And ive never had any problems with mine.
