D2 racing type rs coilovers
Hi Guys,
Have anyone installed D2 RACING TYPE RS COILOVERS LEXUS 98-05 GS300/400 to their car? what do you think of price/quality? for me, the price is affordable. but im not sure about the quality.
if you have installed D2 to your 2GS, how does it feel compare to stock suspension? My goal is just to lower the car, make it looks nice, and keep as comfort as possible. Right now i still have the stock 16" rim. later i will put in either 19" or 20" rim.

OP, I'm not here to sway your opinion, but I'll help you out with clearing up some of the things CircuitMS is trying to say that is supposedly better than the D2's. The D2's were one of the first to use a locking lower perch to solve the problem that Tein's had with the shock body rotating which will change ride height. Next is the shock bodies, from what I know since day one from using D2's, there has never been a shock body failure. Maybe the other companies are advertising this because they are poorly built and had to make revision over the years. But one thing that hasn't changed with D2's is this. Rubber mounts are not needed if a coilover is built properly and installed properly as their would be no noise that will be transferred to the cabin. Lastly, one thing that I see misuse with all vendor is that they claim that their coilover provide "better ride quality". Better ride quality is like saying that my Moton's are better than your chinese coilover. But one must know that proper setup is key to any suspension, so if you don't know how to setup your $5k Moton setup, it is useless!!!

Why do you need pillowball mounts on your Lexus?
Because someone told you they were better? Because Race cars use them?
A pillowball mount is USELESS on a street driven Lexus. It is a metal-to-metal bearing. They will wear out faster than a rubber insert mount and a metal bearing will directly transfer any noise and vibration through the coilover to the chassis of the vehicle. It has nothing to do with "proper setup", it is a fact.

Thank you for your responses.
I asked the saleman for his recommendation on the D2 coilover springrate. The salesman recommended that, it's best to stay with factory setting of the coilover. Because its tested for certain car. The factory setting for front is 18.6kg and 9.8kg for the rear.
I just wondering is that a little too stiff for the front?

I'm currently running a 8" 650lbs/in and 7" 500lbs/in hyperco springs front and rear with custom valving. It cost a little more but it is the best combo out there. There are alot of companies out there that claims there setup to be the best, it doesn't come near the quality of Hyperco springs. They are dead on with their spring rates whereas other companies out there are always off no matter what the spring rate they claim to come with. I know because I've tried them all before and have found variations in all of them from Teins, BC Racing, JIC, etc..

I've never tried out Swift springs before but have heard from a local friend that has them on his IS350 with zeal coilovers and he said that they are on par with Eibach springs. In the past, I've always trusted Eibach but this one time, I rode in a Porsche GT3 with Hyperco springs and man were they nice on the track. So after that, I switched over to Hyperco and have fallen in love with them.

ALexus300, just wondering but how did you know what the valving must be set at in order to match your spring rates? was it trial and error, whatever felt best to you while driving, etc? I and I'm sure others on the board are wondering the proper route to go for the proper selection of a custom susp. setup.
picking a spring rate is simple, but I was always felt uneasy as to how to properly request what the tube valving should be at.
