Call me cynical...but I don't think this guy actually has installed these coilovers. Sure, the car is lowered, but the "overview" of his/her impression of the coilovers is basically a cut and paste of the feature list from the website (I found it at http://www.nolimitmotorsport.com/d2-racing/).

Plus, unless he/she cut/modified the tops of the shock towers, I don't think there's a way to mount camber plates on the yaris.

I could be totally wrong, and if I am let me say in advance that I'm sorry, but until I see some pics, I still have a funny feeling.

perhaps it's a misunderstanding regarding those pillow ball mount...i don't think D2 has those either...i'm also on hunt for coilover and thinking of getting those SK but if this D2 has those pillow ball mount like what you stated, this might be it...so what spring rate did u get?

hey microhb, you should come and hang outand have some ramen...it will be fun!:thumbsup:

just wondering is your rear coilover hard to adjust the height, front is easy but the rear its very hard, if u just use a jack your car might fall when ur adjusting the height of the rear springs, for the road in my country f:4kg and r:3.1 is very comfortable and handling is gud, yet to feel other suspensions hehe

6kg in front and youre in for a bumpy ride

D2 is the company that manufacture suspension for Megan, as well as some other companies.

Well, technically, D2, Megan, and KSport are all made by Bor-Chuann (BC Racing) in Taiwan. A few different options, such as color, spring rates, dampening rate etc. is what differentiate the three.

Well good job buddy. I'm glad to see that I was wrong! I can't wait to see these things in person, and even more interested in hearing about how they are like 3-6 months from now. Your car is sick low!

You ought to come up to the Streets of Willow Springs in the Spring! You'd have a lot of fun on that track with your new coilovers.

Are these shocks rebuildable?
