D2 Coilovers

These are on my list of suspensions to consider. Anyone have any experience/comments/complaints about them? How far do they drop?

It'll be mostly DD with an occasional autocross event here and there. Any info, as always, is greatly appreciated.

I have them. They've been on my ride for about a year and a half. I DD the car and have put about 40k miles on the coilovers. They ride is good and they handle when I need them to.

Do you mind posting a pic if you have one. I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on these and need to make sure it's what I want.

Don't rule out Endura-Tech's if you're in the 800-900 price range!

They dont go low enough for my tastes. Im only judging by one Fit with them. He said they were all the way down and my old springs sat lower than his Fit.

Yeah but at 5k/5k they are way more comfy of a ride than Skunks. It all comes down to what you want. Ride comfort + decent drop, or super-slammage!

^^haha

I don't intend on going low to the flo' but I would like a decent drop for a good stance and better handling. Ride comfort is only my 4th or 5th priority behind stance, dampening adjustability, quality, and spring rates (not in any particular order).
