D2 Air Suspension Kit
 
Just curious about these. Anyone know anything about them? I like the idea of being able to control ride height based on road and weather conditions. Thoughts?

Sweet. Only $3700 for D2 suspension... lol

I saw it for 2400 on another website. Just wondering if it's worth it for that price or is there another alternative that allows the driver to adjust ride height from the driver seat? My wife's car has that feature (gl450). I'm thinking about doing this so I can increase my ride height if I need to and likewise, decrease it. Being air, I'd hate for one of those "balloons" to pop and the azz of my z drag on the street like our dog cleaning his rear on the carpet! Just thought I'd throw that visual in there.

There is another thread about the Ksport kit... I'd probably use theirs over this one. You get what you pay for, ya know.

After seeing a few of the Ksport/D2 air kits in person, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase one if I were looking for air suspension. The only feature I wish they had, that's available elsewhere, is the ability to control your ride height from your smart phone. Much more convenient than carrying around a remote imo. In terms of quality, I've seen a few failures with the Ksport kit but most of them were related to improper installation.

I think only 1 of the 4 or 5 that I saw was an actual product failure due to manufacturing.

Hey Matt. So in your opinion and experience, what's the ride quality like? Is comparable to stock? better or worse? I'm mainly looking at this system for aesthetics and use when going up my steep driveway but am concerned about reliability and everyday use. Thanks!

Define exact.

They don't look... exactly the same, and the prices aren't exactly the same either. With that said, I bet the support you get from either company isn't going to be exactly the same either... considering the times I have tried to contact D2 fell on deaf ears.

How many of these kits have you installed?

Have you had any first hand, or direct experience with installing and/or using either of these kits?

you should talk to Tony, 2theextreme, about how he feels about his air suspension. He has had nothing but headaches with it from what I understand. Leaky bags...

What brand is he using?

TypeOne 01-05-2012 05:13 PM

So...

If 2 companies sell the same part.

#1 is more expensive and doesn't offer good service or support.

#2 is competitively priced and is willing to help, lend information and stand behind their parts.

Who is the obvious winner there? And honestly, #2 should charge more than #1, and I promise people will pay for it.

Them being the same, means that I will get the same results... right? Well if they aren't willing to help me when I need them, I'm not going to be interested in buying anything from them so the end result won't be exactly the same.

Therefor, Ksport would have the advantage in this realm.

The majority of the people buying coil overs don't look at the equation like you do. They just want the lowest possible price.
