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.

Basically I'm looking to lower the car right able a set of 16x8 0 offset rims with a 195/50/r16 tire and be able to preload so there won't be a bunch of rub when I hit bumps or take corners quick. I may be doing a bit of autocross as well.

It's also rebound adjustable if I'm not mistaken, just like most other coilovers (Megans, D2) You can also contact them to see if you can order an "extreme drop package". -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold

All coilovers available have compression adjustment. I check the pricier ksport coilovers which cost $1500 and they do not say they have rebound adjustment rebound adjustment is for coilovers that are used on the track. -------------------- Group buy to replicate Narrow E series transaxle parts
