Everybody has heard of Tein and Tanabe and Tokico and H&R etc. but has anybody heard of D2 or tried them out? info here How about Bilsteins shocks? D2 Looks kind promising for the price. Any helpful info would be great.
Thanks

would the color really matter if it's hiding behind brakes? Would you see the green if you had teins anywhere? You can get custom spring rates. I read a thread on HT and the US distributor guy talked about them.

Omnipowers (at least their full shock assembly) have been shown to be on par with most of the Japanese entries on the market that cost around 1-200 more. They're good for the money, as per their durability no one knows too much as not many people have had them all that long as of yet. D2's are too new on the market to really tell and no one's done a shock dyno report on them as of yet.

The us distributor says he'll dyno them at KONI's place. We'll see what happens with that.

D2 makes pretty good coilovers.
I have a friend who has these coilovers on his 240 and he says they are top notch.
I've also heard from MR2 owners that these are good coilovers as well.

Last I checked, omnipower didn't offer anything for Preludes. Has that changed?
