Coilovers Sign-in + Poll

I've looked around and couldn't find a poll and sign in for coilovers so here it is!

This thread is basically for TN members to sign in and telling us:
1 - what coilovers they are on
2 - what setting coilovers are you on
3 - what are your thoughts on them (pros and cons)
4 - why you selected them
5 - how long have you have them for
6 - other stuff coilovers related

This is also a thread for other TN members who want to have a general idea on which coilovers are the most popular and get reviews before they buy it.

I thought we already had something like this lol
**Coilover Review Thread**
Except that one in the beginning got a little sidetracked anyway ..

Megan Street Coilovers (6K front /3K rear)
Driven: 10k miles
Pretty stiff even at medium stiffness settings on the dampeners.
Their dampening system isn't bad, but isn't good either.
Full stiffness = feel every imperfection in the road.

BuddyClub Racing Spec Coilovers (8k and 6k)
Driven 10k miles (Medium dampening)
Best damn ride I had since stock. It feels as damp as soft but firm. When
I first got it from the shop I was so shocked and surprised, it was pretty amazing to say the least, I was taking corners a little spirited but I couldn't tell that it was on coils...their dampening system is one of a kind.

BuddyClub Racing Spec Coilovers (10k Swift Springs and 8k)

Driven 7k miles and going.
Pretty soft but still bouncy, but not so that it is rocky unless the roads absolutely sucked. Full soft. Spring traveling distance is 1.5 inch~ max,
but it's probably a lot better than any other coilovers minus Tein.


BuddyClub Racing Spec Coilovers (7k Hyperco Springs and 6k buddyclub)

Definitely a lot softer, but still can feel most bumps although I attribute that to my tire's thin sidewalls. When I had fatter tires it was definitely a lot more comfortable.
Which is one of the reasons I'm switching back to 18s + meaty fitment.

1. D2 Racing (D2-T04-1)

2. Set damping to 1-2 clicks from max front and rear. Lowered to 0 gap in the front and slight tuck in back.

3. They're pretty stiff but quiet. Haven't truly tested them on hard corners, etc.

4. Availability and cost ($850-900).

5. 6-8 months (about 5k miles)

6. I think these are on par with KSports if not better. I had KSports in the past they were noisy and just felt cheaper than the D2 set. Overall, good bang for your buck.
