i LOVE the D-specs. the car should've felt this way from the factory. I have it 2 turns away from stiffest.

Adjustable of course! Yeah, they cost more but they allow changes to be made for different driving conditions. This way your suspension can always be perfect for what you want to do.

I've also been concerned about the much higher price for the adjustables, but after reading the many D-spec posts lately I think I should go with the adjustables. If I tried to go cheap the odds seem maybe 50-50 that I will accept the ride quality. But with the D-specs at least I have many different settings I can try.
My big concern now if finding a great place in Los Angeles to install them. Won't go back to Galpin Auto Sports for that kind of thing anymore

Darn, I hate getting to these threads after all the good answers are taken!!

I tried a week or so on all settings from 1 to 7. Currently I'm running a 6 turns off stiff and liking the great ride -but there again, I'm old!

Can anyone one of you with the adjustable tell me this. When I am going from daily driving to the track how long does it take to make the adjustments to the shocks and is it a pain?
