Default Are Tokico D spec DSK512 kits discontinued?

I was trying to look for the tokico spring + strut kits (model DSK512) and cant seem to find them available any more. Are they discontinued?

A set of d spec struts alone cost around 750 and the strut + spring kit also sold for like 750 (iirc). If anyone has any info, please let me know, thanks

Haven't seen the kit around for years and even the D-specs availability is spotty from every vendor that I know of. I would venture a GUESS they're discontinued.

Similar to Bilstein Pro-Kit.... cheaper to buy the shock/spring kit than the sep. components... if you want to wait 4 months.

Good luck!

Even that set, I'd CALL to make sure it's in stock first as it's typical....product not "officially" dead/unavailable so it's still in the catalog.

What are the spring rates on these vs. the BC coilovers? Any idea?

I have them, springs are 375 all around with 7 turns on the shocks. A slight adjustment makes a noticeable difference in handling/ride feel. They are not height adjustable like shown in some ad pics. Tokico cleared out all their suspension components for dirt cheap, and left the US market a couple years ago, not sure if they've returned.

How long do you think these shocks will last running 700lb/in linear springs all around?

I just picked up supposedly one of the last sets, minus the springs, but I'm getting Swifts which I have yet to see a bad review on. Should pair well. I am looking forward to getting things set.
