D2 Coilovers

asapZ · 09-25-2017, 01:03 PM

Im looking for coilovers on my 2012 370z, and found some D2 coilovers i herd they're pretty decent? But are there any better ones?

OptionZero · 09-25-2017, 01:36 PM

no . . . just . . . no.

Entry level should call Powertrix. ($1500)

If you have more money, get Aragosta. ($2500+)

Highly recommend that in either case, you set aside another $1500 for SPL FUCA and rear toe, traction, and camber arms so you can do one install/alignment

if you can't afford that up front, wait and save up

I have Powertrix and I can vouch for their great quality.

LOL, there are several quality products out there depending on your want and desires. As state above you may need additional hardware depending on what kind of stance your are looking for. I have run Fortune Auto 500's for several years now on the road and track and they have met all of my expectations.

I second the powertrix. I road and track them as well as some extended trips and am pleasantly surprised with what you get for what you pay. I wouldn't doubt fortune are in the same boat but after having 12k/11k springs I don't think I would want their stock 11/8 (I think you changed yours right hotrodz?).

In no particular order I would choose powertrix, Stance, fortune, aragosta and let's not forget they may be late to the party but ohlins are finally available. I would take any of those over BC or d2.

A great coilover that isnt too crazy expensive is the new Greddy X KWs that came out recently :

GReddy x KW Coilovers for the 2009+ Nissan 370Z | KamiSpeed.com

10k front and 9k rear spring rates will be great for daily driving. If that is what you are using the car for. Check them out.

My car is a little more of track focused car and I don't think the ride is crazy stupud on the stiff side. My Swift springs are 13k front and 11k rear. Swifts tend to run soft compared to other springs at the same spring rate.

I'm very happy with my Powertrix street coilovers with Swift springs. The Greddy\KW set is interesting though. I also added rear camber arms, toe bolts and a lock out kit. I haven't needed front upper control arms, but SPL arms are on my wish list.

These also would have been tempting if they were out when I got mine.

But are there any better ones? Pretty much everything else.

My 2 cents

Not all spring at the same spring rate ride or rebound the same. So that being said it is my opinion that Swifts ride softer. You may think differently and that is okay.

That's not even remotely considerable as there are too many forces acting upon the suspension to isolate this principle alone. If each spring measures the same amount of force at a given compression level, then you can't logically guesstimate with your *** (literally speaking) that one may be softer or stiffer. Certainly when you have a damper added to the equation. There is no way you'd possibly discern a difference in rebound and compression between 2 springs accurately measured at a specific value. Either one or the other is wrong by several ibs/in or the spring is damaged. Either that or the damper settings are not equal per suspension setup.

You crack me up, I guess all spring then are created equal and there no difference between Swifts or any other spring. I will agree that all springs are equal as far the rating of 10k or 8k or whatever, however I must be all wet in thinking that springs would respond differently based on the materials they are made of or the thickness of the spring or how tightly the sping was spun.

Oh and I have a very sensitive butt!
