(Edit: errr.. direct link http://splparts.com/main4/part...t.htm )

I was suggesting calling SPL and asking them yourself.SPLParts.com has lots of on-track experience and their parts are top-notch, I doubt they would sell coilovers not made to last.

I am not a personal fan of D2's, but that is because I have seen plenty of blown D2's. Then again I have seen lots of D2s.

haha well height isnt everything

the more you lower your car the more complications arise

if you are concerned about hight though, and you dont think the standard height is high enough then get the ultra lows

and i guarantee, guarantee, that you will be able to slam that as low as you want

I'm probably gonna get some gasps from this, but, I have KTS coilovers and I must admit, they're not THAT great.

Beefy? Yes.

Quality? Yes.

Good for track and street? Yes

BUT!

Bouncy? Oh God yes!

Rust super quick? Yes.

For the same price or less you can get some Stance or PBM which are the same quality or better and are fully coated to protect from rusting in the first 6 months. Nothing like a $1200 investment turning to crap in 6 months.
