Weight of a coiloverset

[Blitzspec200sx]

I wanted to know how much does a set of (silk road) coilovers weight?(and yes i already used the SEARCH button)

[AutoRnD]

its about 50-60 lbs...

[nlzmo400r]

hmm, id like to know the weight of all the major coilovers around. I know for sure that Megan Racing are almost twice as heavy as my d2's. (Welded steel as opposed to aluminum cast)

[Blitzspec200sx]

thanks!(and damn that's gonna be some expencive shipping)

[AutoRnD]

most coilovers full sets are about 50-60 lbs.

my zeal function d's were about 40 lbs =)
it all varies.
i've only dealt w/ silkroad / tein / gp sports / zeal coilovers

other than that i have no idea as to wat weight the kts/d2/megan racing ones are.

[loser101]

the kts ones are like 60-70 pounds i dont really remember

Since I have nothing to do tomorrow, I'll weigh my KTS coilovers, and my Buddy Clubs just for sh!ts and giggles.

Megan coilovers were listed at 20 kilos shipping weight. That's not exact.. but 45 pounts would be about tops on them.

Megan Racing are listed at 47 LBS exactly ;)

plus they'll save you 2 pounds and give you better traction for the whole shot...

I think that someone is wrong. Or D2's weight 25 LBS. :rolleyes: :confused:

[AutoRnD]

25 lbs for a set of 4?

[Jeff240sx]

I wouldn't be surprised if KSport/D2 were 30-35 pounds. They feel a ton lighter than Megan Racings. That quote about cast aluminum vs. welded steel was mine.. from my MR review. I also said they *felt* twice as heavy as the ksports. Heavy bastards...

i would have to agree with the weight of the d2's. i've inspected some brand new s13 d2 coilovers at driftTech, and they felt like toys, very sloppy and loose and light (kind of like this chick i know, but that's another thing entirely). when i saw the likes of tein flex, jic flt2, and the cusco zero2 they felt more solidly built. 2c

himm interesting...
i would like to see a set of d2's and such...
just curious about how they are in build wise..
i haven't seen one in person yet. =)

I actually have a set of JICs and D2. The D2's build quality aren't bad.. actually impressive for the cost. Although their design's not without problems. Isn't being lighter a good thing? I've never heard of any coilover brackets cracking.
