coilover...s.s.sss - konafocuswrc - 09-12-2010
i am searching for coilover and heard these 2 setups d2 and ksport wil give me lower than h&r. i used to have h&r coilover.
i think d2 and ksport are identical, they looked rebadged. correct me if i am wrong..
is there anybody running any of these?
RE: coilover...s.s.sss - SL8RZZX3 - 09-12-2010
I have D2 (not installed, yet but soon)
Ksport and D2 are the same
and with them they have adjustment with the spring and the shock/strut height, and dampening (like Koni's)
RE: coilover...s.s.sss - konafocuswrc - 09-12-2010
don't tell me you bought d2 because you are a purple whore! haha
i like the fact it comes with top mount attached.

not sure if you can see it in the pics, but they are adjustable on the shock/strut

LMAO yeah they had to special order them and have them drop shipped from over seas.... just so i could have purple
RE: coilover...s.s.sss - konafocuswrc - 09-12-2010
^^^ yes because it is called "coilover".
what is the purple oval looking thing on top of shock?
i heard from ksport that that thing was for mazda3 application and they had to redesign.
did you happen to buy their old setup?

I'll get closer pics so you can see what i mean....
not sure what that oval thing is.... install will hopefully be this week now that i am unemployed
RE: coilover...s.s.sss - konafocuswrc - 09-12-2010
have fun while you are unemployed, i know that feeling..and you get bored quite easy without doing anything..
and if you can, can you get me a picture at lowest height pic plz?
RE: coilover...s.s.sss - SL8RZZX3 - 09-12-2010
The H&R and KW used a standard height shock and strut, and had all of the adjustability in the springs. right?
D2, Ksport, Cxracing... etc. (look to be all made by the same company)
Have the spring height adjustable AND the shock/strut height adjustable

these aren't the greatest pics but i hope you can see what i mean, as i raised the height of the strut on the 2nd pic
RE: coilover...s.s.sss - konafocuswrc - 09-12-2010

When I was unemployed earlier this year I got so much work done on my car. I was given a fair size buyout so I really didn't need to worry about finding a job right away. 1st time I was able to do that. It felt good having an extended paid vacation. Sucks that yours is so late in the season. Have fun working on your car.

Those rear upper shock mounts look like there for a mazda 3/5?
The Focus only has a single bolt hole in the hatch.

Cool thanx for clearing it up Castone!
I'm sure the mount can be unbolted for use in the focus

Yeah that's what I was thinking, the top can probably just un-bolt from the shock and then be installed into the focus.
RE: coilover...s.s.sss - GFXjamie - 09-14-2010
i think the focus does have that mount but nobody actually takes it out because we dont need to. the mazda guys do because the cant get to it from inside the hatch so they have to remove the entire mount from underneath instead of up top.
RE: coilover...s.s.sss - patrick23 - 09-19-2010
how's that D2 coilover working for you? I have the same one but hasn't installed it yet. maybe next spring i get authority motorsport to do it for me.
