Whelp. Trying to decide if I want to go with D2 RS coilover system or BC BR's. I'm getting about $1,100 back in tax returns, so I can afford either.
The D2 RS's seem to have more settings, have bodies that are aluminum and are electroplated to resist rust. They're also purple and black. (Would match the lug and caliper theme I've got going) http://www.ebay.com/itm/D2-RACING-RS-COILO...16e&vxp=mtr Then there are the BC BR's. http://www.ebay.com/itm/BC-Racing-BR-Coilo...619&vxp=mtr Anyone have insight on either of these two setups? I feel like Timmy said he has them on his car, but I can't remember. Whoops. Could a moderator move this to Suspension and handling? >.> sorry. -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-S 5S-FE 190k Miles. Project car 1992 Toyota Celica GT 5S-FE 170k Miles.

the super streets are not bad, but they normally come with no top mount (seen it a few times people using stock mounts unless its an option to pay more to get it) and adjustability as far as I know is not the 3 ring type like newer type models. its still like a single ring nut adjustment, kinda like a generic coil sleeve setup. SS dont have that much adjustment either, no camber, no preload, etc. their damper setting just to ride normal is the stiffest setting and its still not stiff enough. on megans or bcs there is more adjustment left which is nice. I had tein basics on my other celi and i ordered BC coilovers that same day i installed the teins - it was damn bouncy and it couldnt even drop low enough, i was only just over 1 in adjustment still lots of finger gap and realized that was considered by tein manual over the limit, wow, why get them if they barely even drop lower than springs. IDK, many of my friends have teins because of the name but they agree that its not that great. tein are generally built for japan type streets where you go slow and roads may be a bit better, so with softer spring rates like you mentioned to the rest of the world is super bouncy.
