Tokico DSPEC and Tokico High Performance Lowering Springs

Does anyone have this combo? What do you guys think?

How would you compare the DSPEC to the Blues?

How would you rate these springs compared to the other big names?

Re: Tokico DSPEC and Tokico High Performance Lowering Springs

I have D-specs with neuspeed sport springs. I think my suspension is awesome. I like the adjustable damper, so I am glad I bought these instead of the blues. I can't compare them to the blues, because I've never used them.

You can set the dampers to very firm, which I like. The ride is harsh this way, but I like the way the handling feels and responds. I feel the ride is better than stock, with the except of hitting potholes. You can also set the damper to the softer settings (which I don't like). Super smooth ride this way, but I don't like the way the car feels.

I'm happy with them, and wouldn't change them for another strut/shock.

Re: Tokico DSPEC and Tokico High Performance Lowering Springs

I guess I'm asking because I can get this setup the Tokico Shocks/Struts and springs in a package for $675.00

I'm thinking the DSPECs should be as good if not better than the Blues, but I guess I'm a little reluctant about the springs.

I don't see a lot of people on here with both DSPEC shocks and springs.

The dspecs will be stiffer, can handle a lower drop, and are adjustable. If you don't want any of that, then stick with the blues.

DSpecs with Neuspeed Sport springs here too.

The adjustability of the DSpecs come in handy for autox. Soft for daily driving, then stiffen up the rears for some tail happy cone dodging.

There is a bit of body roll with the Neuspeed Sport springs compared to the B&G coilovers I used to have. I went with the progressive drop springs instead of, say, Ground Control coilovers because this is a daily driven family car and needs to be comfortable.
