For those w/ Tokico D-Spec Shocks:

I'm finally starting to save up for these shocks. The gf is also helping with the pay.

Anyways I have an 03 Civic EX. I want to purchase tokico dspecs made for 01-02 civics. I know the crash bolts for my year is 16mm so I would have to drill out the dspecs and I know that the stock shock housing is 55mm for 03+.

My question is what size is the shock housing on the dspecs made for 01-02 civics? Would there be a problem if I ran my gc sleeves made for stock 03 shocks on the 01-02 dspecs? Also if the dspecs were to be 50mm in shock housing what can i do about the extra 5mm to make my sleeve snug? Someone help me out here. I'm slightly confused.

Also what do you guys think about gc sleeves on blues as an alternative?

my current set up is gc sleeves with stock shocks(blown) and 195/55/15 tires. I have no gap up front and a tight finger gap out back. My b pipe? scrapes everywhere.

Once i get new shocks i plan on raising the car to a good 2 finger gap all the way around and running 195/65/15 tires. I'm tired of riding low. I want comfort now.
