You wont need the stock rear spring and the rubber seat anymore. I have recently installed the D2's as well with a mild drop (about 30mm lower than stock). With the dampers on full soft and minimal preload on the spring, they ride softer than the Nismo S-Tune's I had before. Once they settle in I'll get them setup properly.

If you go over an inch drop, no need for a camber kit unless you want factory camber spec. That's really not the issue for tire wear, it's the toe. Have that adjusted and if for any reason it's not adjusting to what you need, then toe bolts will do the trick.

As for the coilovers, sounds like you have true coilovers, not OEM style. Just take out the springs like someone mentioned earlier. DO NOT take out the spring bucket. That acts as a toe arm.

It's good, I like them. Not super soft in comparison to when I had Impul Ohlins, but they are slightly rougher than HKS Hypermax III's non-sport. On my Stance I do have stiffer spring rates though and I have dampening maxed out and the car is pretty low. They're good coilovers, I'd recommend them.

For a stiffer setting, turn the dampening **** to the right
