Default Dropped it like it's hot! Finally lowered on Tokico D-Spec Full Suspension

Finally dropped the Z on Tokico D-Spec.... :D Sorry no Nikon D70 today...just got outa class at the UW early so I took some snap shots by my house

I have to thank my friend Mark for all this because I would have never been able to get the deal and the help/knowledge anywhere else. Never would have thought I'd drop the Z this low but I just installed Tokico D-Spec full suspension...and I LOVE IT! The drop is 1" front and rear and it's absolutely heavenly to drive her now. It's beautiful to the point where it's like falling in love with the Z all over again like when I first drove her.

The D-Spec setup has 16 ways adjustable settings and I set mine at 4 turns from full hard front and rear. However, I'm thinking of adjusting the front even stiffer (3 turns). As of now I love it and the ride is like driving on rails.

You should bro! If you ever decide to auto-X this setup is really nice for that as well. Just set it 2 turns from full stiff and you're set to go!

For sure. I'm rolling stiff as possible on my EP3 right now. I need to turn it down though.

You cant judge the drop by the wheel wells... the body itself is really low stock. They are a bitch to get onto the lifts at work- stock. When lowered, the body itself is slammed. Looks good, nice car

+1000 that's a very precise observation. Even before I lowered her I had to get on a small wood plank just to get clearance for the jack.

I use em too i call them cheater planks lol.

Hey my buddy with his 350Z is comin to the meet too you should check it out. We just lowered it on H&R coilover suspension, hopefully will get some wheels soon. It looks nice though, nismo front lip. Its clean.

For sure bro, H&R are a ballin' setup as well. If I were going to more road courses I would have gone for coilovers but since I'm jsut planning on Auto-X I went with the D-Spec. What color is his ride?

Its silver, nothing special but a friend of mine works at H&R so she hooked it up. Install went pretty smooth, id never done rear suspension with a spring that wasnt coilover technically lol.
