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.

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. I'm actually looking forward to this. Looking around, it seems like most people run the BC BR's with little or no issues. I live in NY and our weather is never the same. We have potholes and road crews that decide that the best way to fix a road is by ****ing it up more. Needless to say, our roads are rough as hell. I've been riding around with Koni Yellow's for almost 2 years now (still holding up fantastic btw) wrapped in Eibach Sportline springs and when I have them on the stiffest setting, my chair gets a good workout. So do my tires. >.> I've broken a bead once or twice. I want something comfortable (ish. I can get used to a stiff ride) that will hold up decent to our streets and daily use. The BC's seem to have "Damper units are black chromed steel to give superb durability even in the harshest Winters," so I'm leaning more towards them for durability and all-season use. I'd look at higher end systems, but I can't afford them. I really just want something to get me low, relatively comfortable, and not break in 6 months. -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-S 5S-FE 190k Miles.
