it looks pretty normal!!! i will post some more pics once i have rolled and dropped it.

Is there something actually wrong with the D2's or is it a case that people here run more expensive and 'better' coilovers, hence the ill reports on them? I don't have them so it doesn't affect me, it just seems invalid to say they're shit without reasoning.

yeah normally i would goto Mao but since i have relocated he is to far away from me.

Have any of you guys have anything done by Wilkinson Suspension before that was the next place i was going to.

Wilkinson Suspension do good work, no arguing quality and workmanship.

But the last time I went there the guy helping me was a tosser, and they are a little $$$.
So there customer service isn't the best

Cheers for the heads up Dan

Will be popping around there before work tomoro

It ain't the D2 coilovers that's gunna kill her it's 225's on 9.5 rims with negative camber. I would be setting the camber at -0.5 at most....
In all honesty I just can't understand why people insist on having grossly mismatched tyre/rim combos...

I've had D2s. I got given them for nothing. I handed them back after a few weeks.

If they suit your needs, i.e. you're only after ride height and not particularly interested in how your car handles, and going by your wheel/tyre combo, this is most likely the case... then they are perfect.

I found that at anything below standard ride height, they were super stiff, extremely harsh and this was detrimental to handling, especially over undulations in corners.

Thinking about it, they'll probably work perfect for you.. minimal wheel travel will mean that your 9.5" rims and stretched tyres won't chop your guards out too much.

Firstly Joe, thanks for the experience based feedback.

I'm not the OP, and don't have the coilovers in question, so it doesn't affect me as such. But just in general, and I'm not pointing fingers at anyone in particular, from browsing the forums recently, there seems to be the rise of people saying X product is shit without giving any reasoning. For one, it doesn't help the OP in finding out credible information about what he or she is looking at, and secondly, you end up with uninformed people taking the same viewpoint simply because someone else has said it so.

I'm not interested in sparking arguments or provoking anyone, but I know I partly joined this forum to gain knowledge, not just be shot down for asking a question that I genuinely want information on. I just think it would benefit the forum as a whole if when a question is raised, informed responses were made with even a small amount of information given as to why someone has come to that conclusion.

225 tyres on a 9.5inch rim at that bad, not everyone in a subaru would do it but other cars tend to go 225/235 with 9.5inch rim...

its funny how everyone faps over subarus in the states with crazy offsets and stance..but wen someone in australia does it, they seem to get abused and be called stupid

Umm...that's because it detracts from (read "fucks up") handling, is potentially dangerous, is generally done only to get the pimp-my-Subaru-ride-xzibit-look and (IMO) looks stupid.

PS this is a Subaru forum..........
