D2 has been around for 10 years plus. They make a good product. Here is the answer I will give you.

If you are NOT a racing professional, the total value of the purchase may never be realized, meaning they will never truly see the performance scenarios they were developed for. Now that is not a bad thing, I swear by full coilover setups for race/show/or combination sport driving. Like I tell people building turbo setups, determine what your real goal is and purchase accordingly.

Additionally, the adjustable pillow ball mount on the D2 (or others) is a serious performance portion aimed to enable maximum adjustablity. That feature will only ever be utilized by those who understand the dynamic forces at play in performance cornering and can then adjust for desired results. Many like them simply for the additional bling, don't get distracted by that.


If you are daily driving and just want a firm ride as well as a little BLING factor, you may be better suited with a set of NEX from ebay, or a used set of TEIN basic. I've had a set of TEIN basic on my daily driver for 2 years and they are BEYOND fantastic, sporty firm ride, great looks and cornering integrity capable of AutoX weekends here and there.

If you are stuck on buying them, no one can change your mind,they are a good brand, but you could save a few hundred with another choice and still reach all of your goals. Over the last ten years I've made some purchases I've regretted, with money that didn't come easy, so again, consider your goals and shop away!!

Lastly, if I have underestimated your understanding of suspension components, we can discuss shock bodies, materials, construction, spring rates etc. if need be, on your next visit.
