D2 coilovers

So I recently picked up some d2 coilovers:
Rears 19 255 30
Fronts 19 215 35
Wheels offests: who knows second hand rims LOL

Rears are sitting with no adjustable spanners, looking for a way to get them to sit just a tad lower.

Fronts are left with just 1/4 of coils left to spin down, but currently cant or Ill rub fender, so hopefully Ill have some time this week to pull fenders

More to come:
Visors, roof and trunk spoilers, calipers painted in silver or black

Well since you took out the collars. You can always put back on the h&r SS rear springs if you still have them and don't mind mismatch brands.

Slammedsociety^^

Hmm , I wonder what these d2 coils with look like on 18s anybody else running them?? How do you like the ride with this d2 mixed fruit? Also is this the lowest coils for w204s? Does anybody have experiences with this static slam lowness??
What other coils offer low ride height like this? Any other input would be g r e a Fkn T!


As for the calipers, I vote white.

May I ask what you've done to your headlights, and mirrors? I'm looking to get that smoked look.

1) I thought the rears had an adustable perch on the bottom of the spring.

2) The way you talked about adjusting the front sounds wrong. The two spanner nuts directly below the spring are factory set to keep the shock at mid travel, and the spring with a minimal 20% preload. You will drop ride height with these, but it messes up the shock piston centering.

Did your D2's look like this:

So update is Im running 215 25 19 in front turned coils all the way very little wheel gap now, but now the problem of cant turn, turning will push the fender against the fender so like a mini pull every time I turn. Tried pulling and cant get an agressive enough turn. rears might take perch out and run 235s insteadof 255. As of now gona raise my car again dont like bending fender it sounds annoying as hell

I'd verify that they are D2's, and they are for your application.
