Long distance 3Gee? D2's must go.

[Legend_master]

So I'm going to start by removing my D2 coilover suspension. They are just to stiff for a long drive. When I purchased the D2's, I had aspirations of driving around a small track. These have changed to ideas of roaming the country in an old Honda. First trip will be California, and I have to get something close to stock but not the same ground clearance (actually wheel gap lol). I have decided to go with the tokico springs, 1" drop is going to look terrible with the wheels . I will be using tokico blues in the front, and some type of Gabriel strut in the rear. Front (inner/outer)tie-rod ends, bearings, rotors, and pads. Not going to do much maintenance in the rear. I already have most bushings replaced on the whole car with prothaine ones. One of the rear calipers needs to be replaced, everything else is in good shape. I'm hoping those springs are not to stiff for the struts, but my wishful thinking is that tokico manufactured both and made them work together. Pictures will be up as soon as I take off the first bolt lol.

I did but he could of just kept them just in case but oh well!

[Legend_master]

I already have to much stuff i have kept around for this car. I just need to sell them, and be done with it . I got the new suspension on, and it a 4x4 now. At least it is comfortable to drive now tho.

Damn that sucks, but I can imagine it's not very comfortable to drive long distances with the D2s...

Remarkable how a few inches higher/lower can change the looks of a car...

It's much less aggressive, but kinda nice not having to fear every bump and pothole. I think my spine will thank me in the long run lol.

Yeah I know what you mean, I'm still driving around with stock shocks/springs while my K-sports are collecting dust lol.
But for your situation it's the right decision, even though I believe it was a hard one to make!

[obdriver6]

I was gonna ask why the front of the car seem so much higher than the back but I just remembered you have the B20 instead of the A20!

I noticed that. I may have to do the pinch fork mod to even it out a little.

I know........

I think you need to sell them to me and hand delivery them and we will go ride around Tail of the Dragon (rt 129) in the spring.
