Default DSpec...

Where is the best price online to order the Dspecs through? With the Tanabe GF210's, these seem to be the best choice to go with, any other recommendations would be appreciated though. Do you think that Koni Yellows would be a better choice as far as maintaining ride quality? Thanks!

IMO, whatever forum sponcer that can get you the closest to $500 shipped.

Frankly, I'd go with the D-spec shock and spring kit before I'd go with GF210's.

No no no, too underdampned. Tokico's own tech's will tell you that the maximium spring rate that D-specs can be run with is well below the Nismo T2 spring rates. Maximum is 450lbs, your running them with 625/700

I have seen the drop listed as between .75 and 1.0 depending on what site you are on. Does anyone know what rates the D-spec springs are?
