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.

My Celica had Ground Control sleeves, but I have taken a ride in a 6th gen with Megans and hated it. It didn't make the car handle any better (I would say it was worse). Stiff does not equal better.
Most of the brands just the same junk, just rebranded. MR2 has DGR - another ~$1000 brand that I wouldn't recommend. FR-S has KW V3s - FAR superior, but cost a bit more. I highly suggest spending the extra money. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

Really? actually the people who rode on my coilovers freak out how i dont have to slow down and they said it feels better than stock and some say it doesnt even feel dropped. My wife drives the other one and i dropped it when she was gone, when she came back and just drove it, I asked her about the ride, she said I didnt notice anything what do you mean?, she didnt even realize it was lowered. I know a lot of people that do not know how to tune these coilover adjustment to their roads, in fact im the only one that knows how out of my friends, and i usually do this by driving in every single possible good and crap road to find the best compensating adjustment, takes sometimes days to a couple weeks to complete to get it right to the point where i never touch it anymore.
