    that seems fair.. ive seen them priced higher and megan offers good performance.. i personally like D2s over the megans but its preference.. both offer great performance

    Good product, I'm very happy with the performance. They aren't nearly as bouncy as some say. That may be just because I didn't mess with the spring preload.

    You could probably get them cheaper from www.WeSellCarParts.com or www.SpeedCorps.com

    overall they're a good product the ride is good. and they are very adjustable. the only real problem ive had so far is the nuts on top of the camber plate for the front struts rusting which i have to replace...

    I loved them when I had them on my G. I hated to see them go.

    so i talked to the guys that are selling these. and the ones for 7g's don't have the camber correction as pictured. Mainly why i was going to buy them. Anyone have any suggestions for camber correction setups?

    2g coilovers dont have camber plates, although ive seen guys adapting 3g plates and just drill another hole in the well
    God created turbo lag to give the v8's a brief moment of hope.

    I think 4-g-rim has a the front camber kit for sale. I was gonna buy it, but I had some personal problems at the time and never got around it after that

    you never know tho. When you get it aligned, you get a piece of paper with the specs and you can see what the camber is. when i lowers mine it was like 2 deg off, but i know kolio is lowered and he doesnt have camber correction, cuz he said the camber was very close to spec

    yea mine is off too. i go in for an alignment this friday. Mitsubishi uses a 2 deg negative camber and im at about 6 deg negative right now.

    I like how galanttuner10 and i have the same tokico setup and he says that his is fine. I would still take it in for an alignment even if the camber "is fine", because when you lower a car you front will toe in causing premature cupping of the tires.

    Blue i would say if you got that money and you want coilovers get the megans, for the price you can't beat them.

    I'm a solid D2 supporter. Top quality product. I've seen their dampers on my car, my best friends tC, my buddy's ultra clean sr20 swapped nx2000, his buddies sr20 swapped se-r,
    i've driven all these cars, and every one of them rides absolutely fantastic.
    the handling is superb and i'm pleaded with the overall feel, and adjustabilty.
    from daily driving, to the track, to racing through the canyons of Deal's Gap/ TailoftheDragon.... I love them.
    i think i've been riding on them for 3 years now also.

    Not to mention excellent customer service at d2's North carolina office.
    ordered a replacement strut(after mine was destroyed in the Black GS wreck) and i got it 2 days later for 60 shipped IIRC

    i agree D2s are on the rb25 swapped 240sx and they are sexy.. stiff to keep you from botoming out yet they give you a nice smooth ride and the cornering is awesome
