Haha nice bro! But....you're in for a surprise. They will settle and the rear especially will settle a lot more than what you're seeing. Believe me I have them on my car. You'll also need a rear camber kit for sure. You will not get the rear back to oem spec alignment, the front will though. Looks great! I love this setup as well.

You can toe in or out in the front, more dedicated track people prefer toe out in the front. Toe in for the rear is the norm.

I'm interested in those Tokico's also. Wondering whether you need front and rear kits to get camber and toe back in spec or whether the front can be adjusted to spec without a kit.

I broke my right ankle snow boarding a few months back and still can't drive very spirited - so have not been able to really test out the new set-up.
Yea that rear bounce is something thats really been irritating me.. Noticed it alot more when i put my Volk's on too.. I have the Tokico springs already (not installed). Might have to pony up for the Struts.

Where did you find it for $500 US?

And trust me bro, your thread is the most interesting one this whole freakin month, just for me, that is. Looking at the exact same setup, but no one ever post up pics of their Tokico D-spec spring/struts setup WITH STOCK-ish rims LOL.

So here's a big thanks to you! Tokico D-spec springs are the exact ones I want, good spring rates and are linear. The 1.5" drop in the rear does worry me though, especially since I'm planning to keep the 18" stockies.
