Postby TRDmod » Thu Jun 22, 2006 3:18 pm

I've heard a story from a friend - bits broke after 1 month so they asked for and got their money back!

I used to think that the orange and green tictacs gave you special powers. The orange ones would make you stronger and the green ones would make you faster. So i used to eat some green ones and run around my lounge as fast as i could, then eat the orange ones and try to pick up the sofa. I wish it were true!

Postby TRDmod » Thu Jun 22, 2006 6:33 pm

its for st205

its acutally written on the box and manual and the lot

but i hear that some drifters use it reliably
i hear people using it for rally

but if i use it on the road and occasional track days, what do you think any good feedback at all?

D2 has had good and bad ratings, it seems more bad though.

I've thrashed my Teins for a couple of months now, still going strong

You get what you pay for 8)


If you want them purely to drop your car on its ass, then they'll do the job, but there are much better options out there.

Postby TRDmod » Thu Jun 22, 2006 7:19 pm

yes there is
but really, those options are so much more
i want street drivability, u know so on the street its better handling
i guess racing suspension and street suspension is in a different league.... 1000 dollar different league

any other brands around the 1500 mark
?

bc racing, k style perhaps.

or chop that sh1t

My bro has a 15 grand libero, mint as condition, and asked me the same question your asking. I simply said "keep saving"

Do not skimp, it WILL cost you more, get quality, do not buy the sh1t d2.

Tein is probly the best around for toyotas, or go custom.

but i hear that some drifters use it reliably
i hear people using it for rally


I hear that toyotas are over priced and slow. Dont beleive everything you hear.

D2 is sh1t, keep saving and buy something better, I have not heard much on BC, but supposedly their beefier.

toyotas are generaly slower from factory, look an an evo, smokes the gt4 factory spec wise:D and better drive system too
i simply like gt4 cos its better looking and it was cheaper at the time:D hahahaha
wrong place to say this huh!

What about some yellow Koni's and decent springs to match? Would somewhere like Stocks be able to custom make you a package rather than get a bottom of the line coilover set and bung them in, wind them down and hope for the best?

d2 is nothing flash, but is equal with k-stlye they are thesame product jsut branded differntly, alot of people run d2 down but in fact most of these people have not used the actual suspension and are jsut goin on what there mate told them. If you you want good suspesion for a toyota thou jsut go trd can't be beatn, It built by toyota for toyotas can't get any better than that

d2 bc k-style are all made in taiwan by different companies, but they all use the same design and change it a bit. The build quality goes on which company you buy it off, d2 dont have a very good reputation over there for their quality control etc thats why some of their products snap.

on the nzhondas site theres a really good new piece of forum dedicated to suspension... some really good info in there...
When in doubt, down and out.
