Caveat Emptor: D2 Coilovers on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2469385362
Before others find these D2 coilovers on their own, I just wanted to send out a "buyer beware"
While it seems like this may be an actual Taiwanese company selling suspension applications for Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz and other makes, please do not confuse the seller with what you may have seen plastered on DTM cars.
Perhaps someone in Germany can confirm/add to the information, but as far as I can tell D2 Mannesmann is an ad for cellular phone service provided by Vodafone. And it seems this Taiwanese "tuning"/"race" company has mis-appropriated their logo for their own purposes. Please do not think that this Taiwanese company has had any involvement in DTM racing.
It would be like me selling "Warsteiner coilovers" for your Mercedes. (google it if you don't already know)
Additionally, I have looked into the seller of these items, www.whatperformance.com, and in their "extensive" feedback profile, it appears all of the items are for items <=$.99 ebooks on internet marketing. This is an obvious attempt to artificially pump up their feedback.
Please be very careful before you spend $1000 on suspension components from a foreign seller who has no legitimate feedback.
Sure, this may end up legitimate...but it doesn't look promising at the moment.
