D2 coilovers, vs silk road rm/a8 Is the extra $600 worth it? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

AN89HATCH · 10-16-2004, 03:19 AM

I am still deciding between buying d2 coilovers, or silk road rm/a8's. Are the d2's compariable to the silk roads performance wise? Are the silk roads really worth the extra $600 compaired to the d2's, what would you guys suggest?

What are D2's??

s13driver · 10-16-2004, 09:24 AM

never had any experience with other coilover but so far my D2 is doing its job. and compare with my friend's tein ha.. my coil is stiffer.

My d2's will be here next week after 2 months of waiting. I'll let you know how they ride.

bah.. I've read D2s are worth how much you pay for them, but don't expect them to be comparable to those silk roads... but of course if you don't really need the performance the silk roads offer, then no the extra $600 is not worth it.

Silkroads are the best coilover available for the price. No doubt about it!

Its very true.... "...yah get what you pay for..."

How do the Buddy Club's stack up? According to the group buy info on zilvia, they also have an inverted front strut design, front camber adjustment, pillow balls, etc

I am running the D2's and I dont really like them. I would say go for the Silkroad goodness

kaje36 · 10-17-2004, 12:21 AM
