My roads are bumpy...so your saying they are supposed to be on there?

I like them with the pro-kit...<span style="color:#FF0000">I started with 5 front and back and then went to 3 front and back and now im on 5 in the back and 4 in the front. </span> You just have to try it out and see what you like.

Are the settings you state in this post referring to the number of turns out from full firm? I assume this is what you mean but wanted to make sure.

I have the Eibach Pro kit & the D-specs & I run them at 5 turns out each around our pothole-ridden town but tighten them to 3 1/2 front & 4 rear when on the road. Amazing but at 5 & 5, even with the Eibachs, the car rides better than stock yet corners flat. I keep a 14mm wrench in the car to loosen the front caps & it takes less than 3 minutes to change settings at the side of the road.

If you could buy only one item to improve your GT, I'd recommend the D-specs before ANYTHING else!

It is nice to be able to adjust them. Thats why I got the D specs over waiting for the eibach shocks to come out.

I run my fronts at 2 1/2 in the front and 5 in back. I still need to try some tweaking though; I think I can get a little bit better handling out of it still.
It's still is a night and day difference from stock though. and I thought stock was good.

So it sounds like most people are running the D-Specs between 4 - 5 out from full firm with good results on the streets.

I just put mine on with the Eibachs and other suspension goodies this past weekend and have been playing with different combinations. I ran them at 4 in the front and 5 in the rear today. I will keep playing with them to see what works best for me.

I'm thinking about going to the local track (National Trails Raceway) tomorrow night and running some passes. I have heard you can improve your traction/launch/60 times by running them toward the soft side. What settings are you guys using for drag racing?
