Can't compare to other coilies but they are sweet. Very capable and on soft are much more comfortable than oem whilst still minimising bodyroll.

If your getting coilovers get some that maintain the spring preload and lower the car by compressing the shock and not the spring. This is why I stayed away from tein since they compress the spring. Meister bc etc compress the shock so keeps the same spring preload and rate.

Hey Dan,

Me and Pete have the D2's. Here's some more info on them:

http://www.d2racing.co.uk/new/products.php?prod=281

The spring rates are actually 12.1 front and 6.7 rear. However, you can order custom spring rates direct from D2 (or distributor) too. :wink:

I only mentioned them as I had them, I notice they have 36 points of damping adjustment against the BC's at 30 way and Meister R's at 32 way. Probably not alot in it TBH.

Meister R's:

http://www.meisterr.co.uk/vehicles/honda/prelude-bb16/

Spring rates are 9 front and 6 rear

And finally the BC Racings:

http://www.bc-racing.co.uk/applications ... -rs-2.html

As said before 10 front and 5 rear.

This is a good price for the D2's (£638.29):
