D2 Coilovers Knocking?

[IZY-10]

With D2, the more you lower the car, the more the coils are closer to each other and the springs itself are already so short... I'm sure the coils will start bumping each other out...

This statement is actually incorrect! And yes they do come with the upper pillow mount

i've had mine for bout 7-8 months now and no knocking sound???

Good to hear,

[DUST]

Hey man, where you getting them installed in Perth, cause im getting my coilovers in a week or 2. Let me know

d2 are very unsafe and noisey units as have had bad experiences with dc5 coilovers made by d2. in the end a refund was given. good luck.

Curious to hear a bit more about this. Shoot me a PM if you dont want to discuss it publically.

yes so would i, cause i know a fair few other hondas running d2 coils for the same amount of time as me and non of them have had any problems
i've heard that the old model d2s were unsafe etc etc, but the ones i got bout 8 months ago(brand new) are fine, no leaks, no weird sounds, etc etc

oh btw i dont think u adjust height on the d2s via the spring, never done it myself, i put them in as they came out of the box and it dropped my car to a reasonable height that im happy with

any1 here installed coilovers yet that they got from the real cheap trader on ebay for approx $700???? i want to know how they went coz i suspect they r not legit...

.

D2s height adjustable comes from being able to move the lower bracket, exactly like the Tein Flex. They do not compress the springs to lower the car.

also,

I don't see how you can make such a claim. I don't see how the D2s are any different from other similar units (and while sellers will claim superiority and preference of a brand, comm'on we all know these have similar lineage ). IMO, I think D2s are Bang for your Buck, and for someone who wants an entry level unit without the high price of the other shocks, these (D2s) get the job done.

im getting mine installed this wednesday ill keep everyone posted and if there are n e probs i encounter.. oh and if i happen to be selling some d2 coilovers...
there not the same ones ahha jk

[Int3gra-T]

got the coilovers installed.
what can i say. its a much more enjoyable drive.
round abouts have never been so fun,
ive set them towards the softer side, but i could imagine how stiff the ride could get,
apart from that.
no complaints as of yet,
if any sounds start to happen, ill inform ya.

most of the knocking noise coming from coilovers are from lose bolts on suspension arms/forks and sways. also from the unit itself, the collars that hold the springs and shock body often (might) come lose after awhile, if its not tight enuf.

im paranoid wth suspension knocking, every now and then i spend lots of time going thru every single component there is tat is adjustable. most noise can be eliminated.

do update us when u hear some noise.

[Int3gra-T]

man its so much fun with the suspension,
its the first time ive driven with coilovers.
oh what a feeling lol,

[Int3gra-T]

Well, after 1 - 2 weeks of having the coilovers in, i havent had any problems what so ever.
no knocking.
i think it really comes down to the install, reputable places will double check, and have more knowledge than just some tyre place.
so good luck with everyone thats gonna purchase a pair,
for the price, you wont be dissapointed, definately bang for buck
