but are they any good???

[StarletRick]

they are pretty good handling wise, but the ride is really uncomfortable.

i had them and got rid of them for fear of a crumpled spine in later life.

[slower82]

thats alright, sounds ideal for the track

[StarletRick]

it is perfect,but, for road its horse shit.

depends on what you need. i wouldnt recommend them for a daily driver.

[slower82]

well i'll be doing abit both so i think iam gonna buy a set

oh no, thats not good news, i just ordered a set from dave and i'm a daily driver!

i'm worried!!

[Ryno]

had them in my daily driver for 2years, they are 'firm' but thats just down to the springs which are changable if you find them too stiff.

tbh i have nothing but praise for them, you get use to them, i love my set-up to be hard and i loved every second of them, thats coming from someone that lives in the middle of no where on some propper shitty b-roads best thng i got for the GT and it completly changed the handling for the better! helped keep me to the road like no-ones business!

for the money you'll be hard pushed to find anything close to what you get and they are fully adjustable if you decide you fancy a change or want some track action.

you'll get alot of people that say they are shit, but thats BS, most people just moan about them being too stiff which as i said is down to the springs, not the coilovers as a whole.

[SiCaln]

will be selling mine with 10k miles of usage soon as i get a set of TRD shocks and springs (adjustable)

Howcomes Si?

[StarletRick]

depends where you live mate raelly, roads where i live are poo. and i had to drive everywhere silly slow to stop me lungs from collapsing.

i just got fedup and swapped for something more comfy.

[RobSR]

i thought the the first ones were really hard and uncomfortable, but the spec 2's were loads better?!

[Ryno]

can't comment on the second gen ones, i had the first gen RAW badboys

i got mine from Impulse Performance when D2's were a new name in the scene.

[slower82]

they sound like the perfect buy 4 me and at a good price

thanks for the web site , just emailed them so hopefully they will come back with some good news

Well, i have a set of the second gen and they're great, too soft IMO at the beggening, so i changed the preload (the amount the springs bounce) and i love it. I keep the damper setting to the soft side so its a nice comfy ride but the preload lets me stay vertical when i go round any courner. With all Coilovers really its about setting it to your own preferences, anything can be personalised. However, i know the First gen were/are alot harsher than the second as shelly has them, and she had to change the springs to make it less harsh.

[slower82]

ive been speeking to enzo about suspension and brakes and hes got me think back to what i really want which is buddy club racing spec coilovers, so iam to sure at the moment

Same here

For the money they are top notch IMO

Mine is a daily driver but I have got used to it, just forget about the ride quality and think about the next corner

BuddyClubs WILL break your back!!!!
