Why do you feel the D2 will be better?

I don't necessarily feel they're better. I just know the spring rate is softer than the teins. Don't you want to keep the rear down with no rebound? Might even try stock suspension with different springs. I'm open to suggestions.

You might be able to send your rear coils to STM or order their springs from them. They help with the launch a lot. I put them in my stance coilovers. And they still ride fine on the street

Blew out the headgasket, the std arp headstuds stretched. Would suggest upgrading your headstuds to L19s or the new 625+ arps

I was on original oem headgasket and standard ARP done 1x1 without removing the head. Guess we all have different luck haha. But you don't have any bent rods :P

If you still have your sway bars on remove them and watch those 60's drop!

I had all of my sway bars on. Never had any problems. Maybe it would help, but never needed them off. And I still enjoy driving my car as not just a drag car.
