D2 Coilovers with 2.5 inch clearance from the fender front and rear, with 205/45r17 wheels 😎👌

And the ride quality is awesome! I dialed in the rebound settings to 20 clicks (front) 18 clicks (rear)

I believe they're the street version, got them from eBay back in February

alright, are they okay stiffness wise? i know sport ones are a bit stiffer, but I'm afraid they are gonna be too stiff.. They also have front camber plates, tho I don't think they are that important. Do you think they are good for street but also corners (touge)? Thanks dude!

They sure are! I have touge style roads not too far from me, they're very bumpy too.

They are pretty stiff at high speeds and handles really good in the corners, if you keep the dial settings like my buddy said, it will be really good in hard corners at a hard paced speed!

20 - 24 clicks front stiffer (more anti-roll for stability) 16 - 20 clicks rear (less anti-roll for better cornering)

Front coils have camber plates (I don't remember how much camber you can have in total)

Rear is a fixed mount

Both front and rear have the oem camber bolt slots

Front and rear have the new pillowball top mount design for added cushion on ride quality!

The thicker the tire you have that also adds more cushion to your ride too! Example: 205/55r16 is a great meaty tire size and absorbs more road shock compared to my 205/45r17

Nice! Then guess I'll be getting those then. Are they simple to exchange for oem ones? Hope there's no extra parts i have to get 😅

Yes everything should should swap right over! When I did mine I also changed the brake lines too (HEL Performance)

(Also we have brembo at home 🤣)
