I bought the D2 RS suspension for my 02 coupe a few weeks back and finally got around to installing it last week. I have to say that it was a simple installation and I really like the ride. I lowered the car 2" and have the dampening set at 15 clicks ccw. When I had the alignment done they were able to get everything except the rear camber within spec.
The first couple days I found myself hoping that I wasn't going to have to hear the spring binding noises which happened regularly. Then I remembered reading a post about tightening the jam nuts with a hammer and drift. Once I did that all of the extraneous noises went away.
My primary reason for installing this suspension was cost. My car has 62K on it and the suspension was shot. I don't have a garage here in Chicago and I had gotten quotes for $1000 to repair the fronts alone.
That's my .02 on the D2 RS suspension.

your tires are going to pay the price for not getting a camber kit..Im on d2's also and have no rear camber problems at all. I check out the rear tires often to check the tire tread and its perfect. I suggest you invest in a camber kit

Midnight...I'm unclear, do you have a camber kit?
>>>>so you dont wanna spend $120 for a rear camber kit but want to buy new tires every year? <<<<<
Gearbox...the rear camber is currently at -2.2 degrees. That's only .7 out of spec so I'll live with it for now. I'm still running 75's on 14's...if I decide to bite the bullet and get some decent rims and tires I might re-think it but for now it makes more sense to leave it as is.
