Anyone tried D2 Coilovers on a Newage??
Thanks in advance

 

yup ive got em, what do you want to know?

 

Hi, I am just wondering how they are for daily use, what spring rates you run for daily use. Will it destroy ride quality or will I be able to live with them?
Cheers and sorry for the multiple questions.

 

IIRC, Neil runs 7/5 kg/mm front/rear on a stripped-out 1300kg 2003 car.

On my 1200kg classic I run 5/4 kg/mm front/rear which is a bit firm for everyday (passenger notices it more than the driver!) but will handle trackdays too, even with full slick tyres. Also tried 6/4 which I found harsh on the road. Didn't bother trying the 7/4 combination that's listed in the catalogue.

How long have you guys had them and how do you rate the quality?

 

perfectly good, i havent driven my car really since november but they were fine at the time....

i think they are a decent all round road coilover personally....ill wait till i get it back to see if i change my tune!!!

 

 

18 months, going on 20k miles, daily driving through to trackdaying on slicks, and they're very good for the money.

Teflon coating on the threads works well and general finish is good. Solid topmounts hum a bit at steady motorway speeds, otherwise fine. A few squeaks setting off from cold sometimes. Height adjustment locking-collar tended to come loose, solved by putting loctite between the 2 ally surfaces (not on the teflon thread). Damping is set on max and oddly seems most comfortable that way - feels as though the adjuster affects rebound only.
