**Posted:** Fri Aug 13, 2010 9:52 pm

Thanks for the comments

Kharkov... I bought my hid xenon here, in Portugal, in 2008 and cost me 100€

But in ebay, you find many hid xenon kit's with low price.

Cheers

Really?

So maybe you can help me about a question I have!

I'm having doubts about the spring rates which I have to choose. What do you suggest? :roll:

Not sure for the spring rates but you have 0-36 levels to adjust a ride hardness so you can play with it and find best setting for yourself. I'll try to find more info in the instructions that I received in the box

Mine are sport version of coilies

cheers

I haven't bought the D2 Racing Coilovers. Bought the BC Racing V1 Series coilovers with 8kg/mm on front springs and 4kg/mm on rear springs.

Cheers

**Posted:** Sun Dec 26, 2010 12:58 pm

The BC Racing ones have 34 levels of damper adjustment :thumbleft:

NEVER use them on the softest setting (manual says so), I stuck them on 10 at first, then whacked them up to 25 and found them a little too solid, so I've got mine on 17 at the moment. Best comprimise I think - I doubt there will be much noticable difference with any more fine tweaks so it can stay there :lol:

Oh, if you've never had coilovers before, don't expect a luxurious ride

Coilover suspension is very much track orientated, so they haven't been designed with comfort as the main priority. Bumpy roads are uncomfortable, with any coilover kit, and avoid potholes at all costs unless you want to buckle a wheel, or possibly pop a shock absorber.

**Posted:** Sun Dec 26, 2010 1:09 pm

Thanks for the advice mate

I know coilovers aren't confortable... but I want my mazda become a true demon of curves! :king:

Never mind that the car becomes more uncomfortable. I'm still young and thank God, I haven't back problems! :lol:

**Posted:** Sun Dec 26, 2010 1:13 pm

that was near enough what I said :lol:

You will love the BC Racing coilovers then - true go-kart like handling!

There's a roundabout near me, which a Peugeot 106 can do at 40mph, with some tyre squeel and getting VERY close to the kerb :roll:

a BA on standard suspension could do it at 45, with some tyre squeal. I've since done it at 60mph with my coilovers fitted, nowhere near the kerb, very little tyre squeal. Could probably go faster but it's a 60mph speed limit :roll:

**Posted:** Sun Dec 26, 2010 1:36 pm

Sounds good then!

That's what I want to ... a real kart! :king:

I love doing Touge's and Arrábida is 10min from my house!

Come to Portugal and we go do a Touge in Arrábida!

**Posted:** Sun Dec 26, 2010 2:45 pm

how much did they cost you?

**Posted:** Sun Dec 26, 2010 2:54 pm

[quote="Jelen"]how much did they cost you?[/quote]

Net Price = £ 577,87
VAT = £ 101,13
Delivery to Portugal = £ 29,99

TOTAL = £ 708,99 = € 855,53

**Posted:** Sun Dec 26, 2010 3:21 pm

Not cheap, Santa brought you a nice present under christmas tree

My D2 were about 800 euros imported over D2 racing local dealer, but thats Mazda and the BA F chasis, everything is expensive compared to other car brands

For example friend of mine have recently bought brand new JOM coilovers for his BMW e36 and payed them funny 250 euros. Only springs would cost him more :drunken:

**Posted:** Sun Dec 26, 2010 4:06 pm

I know that! I have a 2000' Corsa B 1.5TD SportVAN. It's my daily-drive car and Rokkor Coilovers for Corsa are 170€ :lol:

But... it is a corsa

D2 Racing Race Street on http://www.d2racing.co.uk, with delivery to Portugal, costs me 735€, but prefer the BC's

**Posted:** Sun Dec 26, 2010 4:24 pm

Nice looking car...
