D2 or K-Sport Coilover?? 3rd Gen or 4th Gen?? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

SlammedSix · 04-25-2009, 03:09 AM

Ok, I am in the market for a full coilover set for my 92 SE Camry.

Here is my questions, any help is appreciated:

1) Which brand is better? I've used K-Sports on my Mazda before, and loved them. D2's are about $60 cheaper than K-Sports, wondering if its worth the extra $60 bucks or not?

2) I remember reading online that the 4th gen Coilovers from these companies use a stiffer spring setup. So I was also wondering if its worth me getting a setup for a 4th gen Camry? or just stick with a 3rd gen setup?

Thanks

They are bassically the same, just rebranched. That's why the price isn't much different. I say go for the cheaper one.

have you also looked into Megan Racing?

I'm also in the market for full coilovers.

If we can find 2 or more people, we can probably get a group buy going and save even more money.

personally I love my K coilovers, and they didn't have any of the clunking issues that were prone to the 1st gen D2's

I hate the k-sport, to stiff and I only have clunking issues from day one...

want real coilovers get JICs

or swap out the springs from Ksports

ive heard several people across various platforms complain that JIC's quality control has fallen recently...

as far as k-sport vs. d2, theyre about the same .... id recommend looking into getting something other than the spring rates (depending on what you intend to do with the car) and custom valving on whatever you buy

count me in

Thanks for the replies.

I'm not looking for something like JIC, not only are they a lil too expensive for what i wanna spend, I don't track race enough to get something like that.

I'd be down for a group buy.

So we have three people willing to buy!!

Cool, so which brand?

On ebay, I've seen D2s go for $926 shipped, I think its a decent price. I doubt there's vendors here that could make it any lower than that.....

I found a company that sells the D2 for $855 and they offer local pick-up in Los Angeles, CA which is excellent for me.

But they charge $50 to ship them anywhere else.

$855 + $50 shipping + tax ~ 9 something, not any cheaper for the listing on ebay with free shipping >.<

slammed six, what's the company?
email them and ask if they're willing to give us a group discount

We're all in southern California anyways..

SlammedSix · 04-26-2009, 05:49 PM

Well I found another company that sells the D2 Coilovers for $899 Shipped, the are in Barstow area in California.

I'll email both companies and ask for any type of bulk buy prices.

t3chnique · 04-26-2009, 06:07 PM

Great find slammedsix, just a matter of waiting now...

Hope they give us at least a $150+ discount!
