your car is looking really good. would you consider the trd trunk lip on your car?

DarrenDriven · 08-01-2012, 03:09 AM

Yeah, I'm not usually a fan of spoilers... but I will probably do a lip on the trunk... just not sure about the TRD, the 5AD or if I should wait for something a little more subtle.

Just out of curiosity who did you go through for the D2 coilovers and are those the RS's?

Just trying to narrow down my choices, so far im looking at the KW V3's, the D2 RS's, and Penske or Ohlins whenever they get around to producing something.

I'm withholding the name of the retailer that facilitated this purchase for the moment because they owe me a small refund and I have yet to see it. This set was shipped straight from the factory in Taiwan and I believe it is the first set in the states for the 86.

Which model? That is a good question... the box just says D2 on it, as does all of the other documentation. Not sure which model these are.

So far (20 miles driven) I am happy with them. I will be doing a full writeup tomorrow.

Sounds good, are they in line with other coilovers in the $2200 range or higher/lower...now if only some suspension manufacturer would do red anodized pillow ball mounts...

Your car looks amazing! May I ask how you did the taillights and what wheels/tires those are?

digital_assassin · 08-01-2012, 10:26 AM

Looks good Darren! Since you purchase multiples... did you do the same on the D2's?

DarrenDriven · 08-01-2012, 12:40 PM

@karbon: please read through this topic. Every mod I have done is covered... no need to re-list everything again.

@digital_assassin: Nah, I only ordered one set of the D2s since I wasn't sure about the quality... I had never heard of them.

Yeah, just sprayed my orange sidemarkers with spray tint. It blends perfectly with my gray paint, but I still will eventually get the clear sidemarkers and spray those so my light is clear instead of amber. Installed the JDM badges to cover my holes.

CARSMO made 1 that's not as aggressive as the 5AD:

More info here

I don't like it as much, but it's good that we have more options now

DarrenDriven · 08-03-2012, 09:55 PM

Ehhh... I want something even more subtle than that one, though. I'm patient.

BobDigi5060 · 08-03-2012, 10:06 PM

Great job my man, class.

punchdrunkjuice · 08-03-2012, 10:22 PM

subtle like...

punchdrunkjuice · 08-03-2012, 10:23 PM

because that's what i am waiting for...something subtle that follows our trunk contours
