Well damn furbe, that makes me feel like I just wasted money on my backordered KW's. On another note anyone running KW's and hotchkis swaybars? If so how are they working out? Or if your just running hotchkis sways how are they compared to stockers?

KW's are still good although the rear springs seem to be odd sized.

I'm glad you posted this thread, I was planning on dropping the $2k on KW this fall and didn't even know these D2's exsisted! I like this option way better!

$950 shipped was the cheapest I could find and that was after calling a few places and trying to talk them down. Bought them from NeverEnoughAuto.com.

Edit: @ etcts-v - I plan to take a bunch of pics. Hoping I can help people that are in the same boat as me. There are hardly any threads on these coilovers.

Well.... I am stuck until Monday and kinda irritated.

If you buy this setup MAKE SURE TO PURCHASE THE NUT THAT FITS THE BOLT FOR THE BOTTOM OF THE REAR STRUT before you start the install. The original is welded to the stock strut and now I am stuck until tomorrow because the only places that have it are Napa or Fastenal and they are both closed on sunday....

Also, sorry guys but I didn't get a bunch of pics. Kept forgetting. I did get a few and I'll post them up in a little while.

I'm confused as well. I'm surprised its not a true coilover in the rear like the front. That kinda sucks...

The KW's are the same way.

scroll down about mid page and you will see pics of the KW's installed.

Everyone knows the KW's aren't true 4 corner coil overs. But I thought these D2's were supposed to be.

What are the downfalls to the rear not being a one piece design?

I really don't care, just curious of the difference. Either way it is a noticeable improvement over stock. So far I am extremely satisfied. Just hope they hold up well.
