According to their website (www.d2racing.com), they supposedly test their suspension systems "by machines and professional race teams to meet the strictest quality and performance standards." Uh huh. Sure. I follow F1, F3, FIA GT, Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft (DTM), BTCC, Champ Car, Super GT, Formula Nippon, IRL and so on. Yet, I have yet to see this D2 company on any of these cars. But wait... some of you astute enough to follow racing on a global scale may say... isn't D2 a sponsor of DTM?
NO
What you saw on factory Merc / AMG racecars in DTM is NOT these fools from China. Rather, it's Vodafone D2. That's right. Vodafone. The company that owns Verizon in the States. D2 on DTM racecars is a reference to Vodafone mobile phone stores in Deutscheland. Look below.
Woo... look. It's a Vodafone D2 store!
Oh, look... it's a "D2" suspension company office. Geez, the logo looks awfully similar. No, wait. They are exactly the same!
Well, look here. It's an animated gif advertisement directly from Vodafone's site!
Is it mere coincidence that this D2 suspension company COPIED EXACTY the real D2 logo? Perhaps to claim that their suspension was used on DTM race cars? Considering how shady these fuckers can be, I wouldn't doubt it for one second.
Since when did Vodafone get into the suspension business? A mobile phone service provider in Europe is making suspension for Civics? Oh, but wait... Invidia's parent company is a pager company (must make you feel confident owning an exhaust made by fools who make pagers... so much technological overlap, I tell ya) and they even stole the "Invidia" name from RS*R.
It's funny how some car owners out there will spend thousands of dollars on shit for their car, yet will buy these cheap ass suspension systems for their car. Any sharp eye would immediately notice the shitty construction, most notable of which is the shitty ass welding and machining.
But the bullshit from China doesn't stop there. Imagine how many bodykits are floating around your local shops, made by underpaid sweatshop workers toiling under the most mired of conditions? Do you suppose these manufacturers have any fuckin idea about how aero affects downforce, drag and overall vehicle stability? Or do you suppose they just make this shit... no wait... COPY this shit based on kits from other manufacturers? Then have the gall to pass it off under some bullshit brand name in the US? And of course, the fools who buy this fucking crap?
So pat yourself on the back if you buy into this and other Chinese made crap. Imagine... not only did you save yourself a few bucks by buying inferior crap, you are also supporting the world's largest thieves of intellectual property. CUNT-gratulations.
