True ballers wouldn't be running cheap D2s

Heh.

Anyways, what's modded on the D2s?

[Muzzy]

oh shit son!!!! in your face!!! bangin on your lame ass D2s!!!!

ballers dont have cars that vibrate like fuk and their girls complain about it.
obvioulsy ryan doesnt want a really harsh/squeeky ride much like me. its our daily cars we are working on. we jus want a better ride/response.

[Slip&Sliden 240]

I daily drive mine with, KTS coilovers, welded diff, and collars. Its not bad at all. I love the way the car drives like this. If your smooth with the throttle around corners it feels real good.

[S14DB]

I got these off eBay:

Wasn't that hard to drop the sub-frame once we got 2 jacks in play. One for each side at the lowest points of the sub-frame. They fit perfectly. I dunno how they ride cause the car is still on jack stands.

[AuburnRyan]

Bing was just being friendly...LOL...Pink is hardcore - but it looks too RED!


S14DB - are those sererate peices or one peice spacer/collar?

[Muzzy]

well bing has alum bushings as opposed to alum collars.

hey how do u have purple bolts S14DB?? or is that red locktite??

oh, i guess you dont know much about coilovers then do you?

its a damper and a spring and mounting hardware, thats it....

when you have a room full of dampers and the resources to rebuild, recharge and revalve them then you come talk to me.

until you do that, you can pay $1500 - $3000 for the same thing with a different spring and a damper with different valving.

the internals of the dampers are very similar to Penske dampers, but of course if you havent had one apart you wouldnt know that.

and those dont look like D2 springs that rot out and corrode do they?

off-the-shelf is for posers

Let's see a shock dyno.

^^^^^^
damn son...all in your grill again!!!!

bing i dont give a shit ok? i was jus jumping on what SoSideways said.

[HyperTek]

this is gay.. Just put collars/spacers/ whatevewr you want.. Improvement will be felt.. If you dont want rattleing shit or are worried about noise, then dont be modding your car =As simple as that. You gotta pay to play , and your paying with your comfort.

The more soild = the better the rear suspension works.

Hell another cheap mod is the LSauto.com steering bushing eliminator that goes into your steering rack. a pain in the ass to install, but direct steering feel is well worth it.


Regarding the D2, if they where not revalved, i dont think id bother with changing the springs, but I cant judge them since I never used them.

[bing]

whatev, no biggie..

just dont appreciate ghey comments from people who havent done the research when i have already gone out of my way to do it for the benefit of self and others.

and yes we have a shock dyno

I was joking about the D2s, since I know Bing knows his shit and he said he modded them.

Notice how I asked him what he modded on them?

Anyways, I guess I can PM Bing more about that.

[HyperTek]

its cool man, I was looking at some of the suspension items on your site.. should do a gb sometime

[bing]

potentially, but right now i am back ordered with all the demand north of the border...

i have better images and write-ups on zt and son if you have seen them. my site is pretty static thus far, it will look much different in a months time hopefully.

[AuburnRyan]

Update - Peak urethane spacers installed with some other parts.

NO negatives, I can tell no degredation of ride quality - I'm on Tein FLEX on soft for the street though...so stiffer coilovers might feel them more. I also installed front tie rods, T/C rods, and VLSD, so object review of only spacers would be hard...but the car feels very smooth - no noises or harshness. Transition to slide and back is smooth.

I've only drove it about 2 hours, I'll update agin after my HPDE next week.

So far, I'd recommend them, perfect for me. I also see no reason I wouldn't like aluminum peices as well...but these seem great. I forget they're there.

[Muzzy]

yyyyaaaayyyy. u actually followed up!! cool!! glad to hear they worked out. looks like i'll be gettin me some soon.

[KoukiRookie]

I know this is an old thread but my question is if I have solid subframe bushings an I add urethane spacers would that get rid of the noise or reduce it from going to the cabin?

[booey13]

I'm not sure what you're referring to by urethane spacers but I believe the spl kits come with some kind of "spacer" to reduce noise. So I thats what you're talking about then yes.
