Personal experiences D2 and K-Sport

[Dodo Bizar]

My EJ9 chassis is fitted with a 3 year old D2 set (normal road). Spring rates are said to be 12 kg/mm front and 6 kg/mm back. Default damper advise is too weak. I adjusted dampers to 4.5 of 6 rounds front and 4 of 6 rounds at the back. Makes the car neutral during initial steering.

Performance is still ok after those years.

On the side, my EJ1 chassis is fitted with K-Sports medium set (1 year). Said to have 12 kg/mm front and 8 or 9 kg/mm at the back. Unfortunatly the damper of this set is too weak no matter which setting. So I put it on 6/6 both front and back, still initial response of the is a bot weak. No idea how this would work on the EJ9 since both cars differ 150 kgs, but I favor D2.

i'm also using d2 coilover kit for some months and it's good stuff, let's see how long they last...

After 3 years I lowered the front end by 1.5cm, no problems encountered. First I cleaned all the thread, then I used a hammer and piece of metal to loosen the rings. Used a lot of WD40 together with de-greaser to change positions of the rings. Went nice and easy...

Hi all! I Angel, from Spain.

I have D2 for about 2 years and it still be a rock, too much hard. And I have set the compression to the minuimun.

My experiences with D2/K-sports that the sets are searching for the right positiion all the time when you're driving a on a non-egal road. Too bouncy and it feels not very safe when you are serious drving the corners.

Right now, I'm still very satisfied with my prototype coilovers set from OMI-Performance. Car handles great and when I need the stiffness of the set in the corner, the sets immidialty responses to that. The dempers are working all the time and not the car is absorbes the bounces, but the dempers are.

Here are the dyno shocks of the sets:






And they are more cheaper than D2/Ksport: 950 euro with pillow ball mounts!! When you order them now, the prize is only around 850.

Sebastix please make another topic especially for the coilovers you mention and continue the conversation there! Very useful info

[Dodo Bizar]

Yup D2 is very stiff, know some guys that even quited them within a month.

Well i'm going to get the OMI Coilover set too.Will be released in about 2weeks as Martin himself said.
I'm getting 10K front and 8K rear with Pillowball mount offcourse and another set for my friends EG4 too.
I'm curious how it will respond ,i'm sure it'll be 100 times better then my Koni 1150 coilover kit
