Are Ksport the only coilovers for our cars that come with the camber plates? I tried to find them for the D2's but couldnt find anything. And has anyone had experience with the D2s?

HotBits coilovers can be ordered with matching front camber plates and rear pillow ball mounts.
More money than the other ones listed here so far but I'm going on two years on my set and they are by far the best modification I have ever done. Awesome on track/autox/hillclimb but very streetable and not at all "nervous" on the street on their softest setting, even on the largely crappy roads up here in VT.

TEIN, JIC, HotBits, KSport, etc?

IMO for coilovers...
ZOMG unobtanium: Ohlins customs
Best: Hotbits
Better: JIC
Good: Ksport/D2/whateverothertaiwanbrandofthesameparts
Okay: Ground Control coilover sleeves on KYB AGX's or Koni inserts
Tein doesn't make a GVR4 specific coilover anymore since they discontinued the HA's. I would put them next to the JIC's if you can find a set. Mine are still going strong. You can make the DSM setups work otherwise.
For non-coilover, best bet is stock Evo suspension modified to fit our cars.

Not to hijack- but what about koni's with eibachs..I had that set up in my 2g and hit 150mpg like I was on rails- I don't see many board members recommend this, why?

Srsly though, Eibach doesn't make a GVR4 specific spring. We have to use their DSM springs and they don't allow the car to sit level. Rear springs from a DSM kit always sit considerably lower than advertised when used on a GVR4, be it Sportlines, Prokit, or stock.

finally got the search button to work correctly. Too bad whiteline doesn't make coilovers for these cars. My old roomie had whitelines on his subie and i loved how they handled and rode.
