Next Mod: Tokico D-specs. Need reviews/pics.
Anybody have the D-Spec series dampers from Tokico?
Dezod has the damper set for $600.00. As well as the damper/spring set for $860.00. Is it worth it? Im not thinking so as it only give an inch drop all around. So I guess what im asking, Tokico set or another brand of springs and dampers?
Im looking for a near OE ride quality, but with the looks of a drop. Suggestions on camber kits would be nice too if alignment will be an issue with this setup.

I have the D-Specs with Neuspeed Sport springs.
The ride quality is very good. I would guess it feels a little bit more stiffer than stock, but it's been so long since I've been stock it's hard to say. The ride is comfortable and sporty. I went with the D-specs because I wanted the adjustable dampers in case I ever wanted to AutoX or go on a roadcourse. It's currently set at the recommended 5 turns from full stiff as a starting point. I haven't had a chance to play with the settings yet.
Installation was super easy. These are pretty much a straight OEM replacement strut. You will however have to cut holes on the inside of the hood to allow clearance for the tops of the shocks.
I don't really have any recent pictures after the springs settled, but here's what I have so far:
I was planning to get some updated pix tonight. We will see if the weather cooperates.
