I'm running the super streets right now and i wish they had a higher spring rate. I was looking to change to the omni power fully adjustable kit. I might be able to sell you my super street setup if your interested.

I am very satisfied with the D2 but they can be a pain in the *** on non smooth road as they're quite hard. I think the Tein are more confortable.

EK civic tried both - D2 are crap to say the least, rear left shock blew in 1 month. Found out it was made in Taiwan by an OEM factory. Also making other D2 spoofs, available in purple, blue, red etc. In flavours of non-adjusting and 18/36 step adjustment. Skittles all over the place. Does not bring confidence on road driving.

Super streets - great quality, softer for the road. No track racing but ample for daily driving.

Now settled for Flex because of harder springs . Front 8K/Rear5K.

Have them since maybe 6 months, 10 000kms. No problem. 1 year warranty. As I said quite hard but I find the handling excellent once you've set them right.

Oke quite hard, but can't you get it softer with the adjustments?

You would be suprised by the brands that the company that makes the D2s also makes. IIRC they also make the Trust coilovers and all of Apex`i's stuff too. But like everything else, money talks.

Yes you can soften them enough. Just make sure you take the street version because the racing is way too hard for a daily drive.

From what people have told me that have D2's say they are the best bang for your buck, I am planning on getting whole new suspention next spring and im gonna go with D2's or Omni's...

go with function form if you want a full coilover, i know alot of people racing on those and they arent bad.

I personally use the gc koni combo and i love it

You don't need either if you aren't going to be tracking your car much. Save a little cheese and go with some AGX's or Illumina's
