hello all,

how difficult is it to adjust the d-spec?

i know stangsuspenion has the remote for the rear..

can i just reach in the front to adjust the front struts easily??

Or do i need to lift the car every time to adjust?

thanks all!

It couldn’t be any easier, directions come with the Tokico’s. There is a small cap on the top of the strut that you unscrew and put the adjustment tool, comes with the Tokico’s, in the top and turn it all the way to the stop which is full firm. Then you can play with adjustments by backing it out a turn at a time till you find what you like. I run mine at 5 out from firm front and 6 rear for DD and 2 ½ front and 3 1/2 rear when I want to have some fun on back roads.

thanks for the response....however can i just easily reach under and do it? or does it need to be lifted up??

cause i live in NYC..and its parked in a garage....and the only i can ever adjust it is the reach under the car and do it...

can that be done?

thanks!

In the front, you just pop the hood and unscrew the caps on top the strut and insert the adjutment tool or allen wrench. In the rear, you need to pull back the trunk lining to get to the caps.

Just an fyi, the dspecs only provide adequate damping up to about 250lb springs. I'll be removing mine in the next couple weeks. For street use though, they were a great bargain.

thanks much 05blackGt,

im getting eibach pro springs with it...is that a good match? my car will be 95% street driving....cruising....

should i get steeda struts instead??

I don't know what the pro kit rates are, but I'm sure they're under 250. Several guys here are running these with dspecs with good results.

If the extra cost isn't an issue, the dspecs offer some adjustability, but you may not need that. Also consider the new Bilstein shocks, which are high quality, but not adjustable.

The Eibach pro-kit has progressive (dual)-rate springs that are rated at 171/229 lb/in (front) and 109/200 lb/in (rear).

I, like many others, have Eibach Pro's and Tokico d-specs and they are an awesome combo.

like ^ said, in the rear you will have topull back the liner and if you have the shaker sub in the truck you will have to remove that to see what your doing in the rear unless you have a mirror and flashlight and an extra set of hands to hold them for you.
