I want to lower my RX-7 and want to make sure it's done properly.

Can you offer some advice / opinion on the Coilovers in the graphic below.

 

For that price, I'd get the entry level Tein that AutoRND (forum vendor) sells.

 

D2 is like Megan, I think they even come out the same factory in Taiwan along with a few other similar brands

 

No, I would not recommend D2 coilovers.

THESE, on the other hand...(better hurry, only 11 hours left)

For the record, I have no affiliation, nor do I even know the seller, I just love the Zeals on my FD.

 

no first hand experience but i know a couple people who have d2s and like them.

I've also heard good things about the Zeals ^^

and these Stance gr+pro also

i had those on my car. they are absolute CRAP
they where on my car for a year, then i got fed upp,mounted stock bilsteins with tein springs (same as eibach) and tossed those moterF***** d2s in the sea (littereraly)
they are down right dangerous, buy tein,apexi.,kw
just somthing of quality
you WILL regret cheaping out

 

get stance or Ksport

 

K Sport == D2 == Megan


Different brands, but again, all mass produced taiwanese coilovers from the same factory

 

pretty much what i can gather is that everybody likes different brand for whatever reason but everybody calls eachothers stuff crap except for stance.. i don't think i've heard anybody talk anything bad about stance so just get those heheh

 

+1 for Stance...i just put on a set

 

yeah i would get stance, but all i can afford is ksport

 

K Sport and D2 are the same yup.

 

No.

Dont go cheap just save and wait. I personally like endless zeal coilovers they are pricey but the quality is top notch. I had a set on my FD. The Function B2s to be exact. I dont know if they sell them anymore though.

Then again not everyone is looking to track their car. Are you looking to just drop your car or are you looking to track your car in the future? If your going to just drop your car then any coilovers will pretty much work.

 

I would stay with name brands. What is going to happen when you need to rebuild them?

 

i previously ran D2's if i remember they were 32 way adjustable and honostly you couldnt feel the difference wether it was on 1 or 32, at least thats what i thought in my autox and drift experiance, ran them for about 8 months sold them for $700 i like my cucso's way better, too bad im selling the car w/that setup

 

Stance<Zeal.

Zeal coil overs are made by the same people that make Endless brakes, who's reputation speaks for itself.

(from Endless USA's site)
2009 Nurburgring 24-Hour Race Results

More than half of all the Porsche entrants used Endless brake pads.

9 of the top 12 overall finishers used Endless brake pads.

 

Stance does not even come close to Zeal, Zeal is in a whole different league. Zeal offers applications from street to strictly track duty car.

 

Natey! You bought my zeals b2s from me when i was parting out my FD. How are they? Do you still have them?

 

Ya those Zeals are a deal.

You can even get them serviced and rebuilt in SoCal.

Alternatively I can give you a GREAT DEAL on the Runner Up: Stance

I can do Tein also. I jsut can't do D2, Ksport, or Megan.

My dream coilover set up is probably the Quantums with maybe Swift springs

Ohlins and Zeals too

 

Bought my Zeals from Reshie great guy. Good Deals.

Hey Reshie its Aren im thinking about picking up another FD once i do, me and you need to talk lol. Im going to need to get a hold of some zeals again along with some other stuff.

 

Still got 'em, and I'm loving them! They're not to harsh on the superslab, and on the track, I can't believe how much of an upgrade they are from my Koni yellow/RSR combo that I had before.

Thanks again!

 

D2 = K-sport
Megan isn't the exact same thing.
From my experience Megan Racing's coilovers have a bit more quality and aftersales service.
All those brands are usable but don't expect them to last for more than 5 years. If you're going to use you car on the track you'll need to invest a little more.

 

Thank You so much for your replies.

The amount of information is overwhelming.

I'm not looking to race at the track.

I just want to lower the car and make it look nice.

I'm going to keep the stock rims and tires.

Since mine is a daily driver I want to make sure that I make an in-correct UNSAFE decision.

Id' hate to have an uncomfortable ride if I make a wrong decision.

Key thing also is that I want to be safe on the road.

What do you guys think.

Get the TIENS and stay safe on the road.?

I know they cost a bit extra.
