Which coilovers should I get?

[overheadJake]

Hey guys I have been stalking this site for a few months, I really like it but now I have a question, I am looking a a couple different types of coilover for my DC4, and I have found a couple for the same price it is mostly for DD, so I just want opinions, personal experience etc, first is the Skunk2 pro-s, Tanabe sustec pros-oc, and some D2 (on the d2's the spring rates are set at 13k/15k front/rear).

here is a link to the D2 website http://www.d2racing.com/content/products/RS_coilovers one of the reasons I am asking is because I do not know much about them. so anyone with firsthand knowledge would be great

Out of the 3 that you mentioned, I would recommend the Skunk2 Pro-S coilovers. I had the Pro-C and I absolute loved it. The valving on the dampers are definitely better than those on the Tanabe and D2 coilovers.

F2's are also great for the quality and price.

 

[overheadJake]

so between the F2's and pro-s, which is better?

Personally, I would go with the Skunk2 Pro-S over the F2 Type I.

BigMac88 had Tanabe coilovers and he liked them for daily driving, but wasn't impressed when pushed to the limit on the touge/track. I'm not surprised because they were not made to handle such extreme driving conditions.

As for the D2 coilovers... Let's just say that I've heard too many horror stories about them. :shock:

function form type 1 is bang for the buck but i would also go with skunk2 because function i believe is quite soft

You're welcome. :thumbs up

I've driven on F2s and I think that they're on the mild side. Not too soft, not too hard.
