Anyone here know, hear, or tried one of these coilovers set before? some feedback would be great.. i wanted to go with the PSS9 but for about $2500 it's not too cheap, and the Row M030 looks like a viable option, but NON adjustable just makes it look like a nice shock and spring set up only... so what do we know about the
KSport Coilver http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Kspor...spagenameZWD1V
or the D2 RS Coilover...

not much at all....go PSS9's....you will not be disappointed.

 

newport - yes... pss9 are on top of the list... just looking at alternatives if possible... i've posted pics of the wheels on my ride.......

 

D2 is from taiwan http://www.d2racingsport.com

 

D2's used to be very poor in quality for the street because they would get noisey and would work poorly in winter...S13/S14 owners didnt like them. they have since switched suppliers or refined their manufacturing process and made them acceptable... if this will be a DE car then you may find em quite good for the price...otherwise...PSS9's or an OEM suspension setup are best bang for the buck as far as street or street/light track use go.

if you have any experience as far as japanese car tuning goes...the ranking would probably be something like this from top end to middle to low end

Ohlins, Motons, other gangster race suspensions
JIC, High end Tein (RA's, track masters, etc), Kei office
Cusco, Tein, PSS9's
Stance, Megan Racing, D2 Racing
the rest (aka stuff that belongs on nothing better than a ricer civic)

that's sort of an approximate ranking. i've got a good friend with a very fast/compeditive race car and he has D2's with his own spring rate and is quite happy with em.

 

thanks a lot dead eye... what about the k2? r they one of those you don't consider and should be on a civic?

 

sorry porsche_smile..no experience with K2 sport so i can't comment on them.

 

I would only consider options that are from 996 owners on cars used how you will be using it...if for mostly the street, then go PSS9's...hardcore tracking....JIC's....In my research, there are no other viable options....

 

mostly street... i don't know if i will track it.... probably get a lotus for this one.... right now just trying to make the car look nice and perform nice enough if i need the get up and or if i happen to hit the twisty

 

^ remember, the ROW 030 will come with different swaybars from your car if it has non-sport suspension.

 

you know i was looking into the row m030... but it doesn't lower my car enough... i'm looking for something to close out my gap city........

 

if i am hearing a rumbbing sound... could it be rubbing from the inside? how would i lknow... just noticed the rubbing noise today....

 

PSS9's then...i'm very fond of mine for street use

 

Pull your tire and see it there are rub marks on it...you will also see the inside of the wheel well and liner and see if there are tire rub marks....

 

thanks newport... now if I DO see it. how would i rectify the problem????
