Are you unhappy with your Tokico D-Specs? I've got mine softened up for the street and between that and the track adjustment I can't believe that the Bilstein's would be any better for BOTH environments.

I think reason because 19" rim. The ride is much better with TOKICO-D -softer setting- but still stiffer especially rear shocks.

I am curious what you have your D-specs set to ? I am running 4 turns (from full firm) in the front and 4.5 in the rear right now and that actually seems quite soft - but that gives me just less than half the dampening to soften up the ride more if I wanted it. I think the recommended starting point was 5 turns but that was too soft for me.

At the track I was running anywhere from 2 3/4 to 3 in the front and 3 1/2 to 4 in the rear.

Nobody has Bilsteins yet for 05/06. They're scheduled to be at the american distributors in August. Could be a little earlier.
