Hey, does anyone know if the coilovers offered by D2 Racing or K-Sport will mount up like the stock BK suspension? I have TEIN Wagons imported from Malaysia and they're holding nicely, but I need the camber and dampening adjustability for auto-x. I heard there might be a height difference in the rear shock from the BD to the BK. Also, will there be a difference in the dampening rates? I'm just thinking that the difference between the rear of a sedan versus a wagon would affect the way the dampener is designed. If there is already a thread that refers to this situation, I'd appreciate if someone could guide me to it, as I've been creeping the forums but found nothing in specific.

I think that Sybir might have done some work with theses at one point, and then played with the TEIN Flex units. I have had the Flex on my car for a year now. Sorry I can't help the the D2 of K Sprt, but here is my thread. Might help.

Just a question: are you're coilovers dampening adjustable? Also, are the camber plates aligned for neutral toe or otherwise? If everything works well for you, I may just hijack your setup.....

Hi, just what i think...
If you whant buy coilover for the look first, it's ok.... but if you whant ride hard, don't buy D2, K-sport and all the same other shit. I buy a set last years, and i break 2 top plate, bend a shock and collapse an other at this day.

Yeah, the FLEX offer dampening adjustment. All settngs (toe and camber) were able to be adjusted to factory settings. The biggest thing that had to be done was swapping the top hats on the front coilovers. I have been on them for just about a year now, and love them. No issues so far. I will admit, my girlfriend HATES the ride... I can understand the discomfort. But performance wise, it is amazing. I set mine to just a slight drop of about and inch all around. Keeps it very stock looking, but still very tight 100% of the time. And is was all direct bolt on! (Minus the top hat swap in the front... But really..... Haha)

Aahhhhhh.......so just to know, how much toe were you out when you installed the suspension after swapping the tophats?

Gosh I don't know to be honest. Lol I know that I had it alligned the morning after. They did no make a big deal of it so I assume that it was not the big of a change.

wrx parts will fit, but d2 and k-sport are the absolute worst coilovers on the market as far as quality and performance are concerned.
