Evo 8 Coils?

I am looking into a set of coil overs and well I was wondering about Ksport Coils, D2 coils, and DD 40 step. Does anyone have these or heard anything about them?

i have and use awd spec d2 coils. its pretty much a 1/4 mile setup, but can also use it as a DD set (which i do). downfall is i can feel every crack in the road, and every little bump dip or whatever it may be.

but it definitely feels amazing when you get on it as theres no see-saw like effect

All very very low end.

Why do you feel you need coil overs?

I suggest searching and reading about Bilsteins, Swift Springs, and GTWorx springs.

I want the handling that coilovers offer and I am a very enthusiastic DD when I go to work. I also want to fill in the wheel well of the car.

The current setup of the OEM car offers more than most drivers can obtain.

I highly suggest looking at Swift SpecRs if you think you need more spring rate (and lower the car).
