I am planning on lowering my 06 convertible Mustang GT and I have narrowed it down to these two shocks. The problem is the Koni's are on backorder (STR.T). Are they worth the wait or do I go with the Tokico? I plan on using Steeda sport springs. The other possible choice is a full Roush suspension stage 2 setup. Any input?

 

I'm happy with my D-Specs. Haven't ridden on the Konis, but have heard they ride a little better. I don't think you'll be disappointed with the D-specs though.

 

Keep in mind the D-Specs are adjustable, and the STR.Ts are not. Koni Yellows are.

 

I have STR.T's and I am happy with them. Handling is much improved and the ride is acceptable. Not harsh at all. I'm sure D-specs could fell just as good, but...

So some searching on the forums. There are a LOT of d-spec's that have failed.

Koni's have a lifetime warranty and they stand behind their warranty - not that you'll need it.

 

KONI YELLOWS.

Just do it. They have a fantastic ride and are infinitely tunable.

 

Konis have a lifetime warranty. They do seem to always be on backorder, so if you choose to go that way, just put in your order and wait, gotta get in the queue.

 

I have NO experiance with Koni. I currently have D-Specs on my 08 & LOVE them!!!

 

My d-specs have been on for a year now with no issues. I must admit I bought them because Koni adjustables were not available when I modified my '08 Bullitt.

BUT....when set to soft they give a much better ride than stock and when set stiff for Autocrosses they do the job well.

 

Good luck ordering D-specs right now with all that has happened in Japan. I'm just throwing that out there. I'm pretty sure most suppliers are out of stock, I know AM is.

 

Since when are STRTs on backorder?
