Default Shocks and struts made a WORLD of a difference!

Installed my D-Specs today and man are these things saweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! I got those adjusters too for the shocks like a couple of you suggested, and now I see why it is suggested!! But the ride quality is so much better. It's much firmer now, but it handles the bumps in a much more controlled fashion. Much less travel it seems when I hit the big bumps which is really nice. It actually lowered the car a little bit too which is nice. Nothing significant but definitely noticeable.

For those of you with D-Specs, what settings do you use for the street? I'm just using what my buddy also uses on his Mach which is 4 turns away from firm on both the fronts and the rears.

Yes sir. I just realized I spelt "shock", "shuck" roflz.

But anywho, I really like the D-Specs. I too am lowered on Vogtlands with only 1 iso per spring, and on 18" wheels so the ride was pretty rough but now it feels great. No noise from them either too which is real nice. If you have any questions, just holler! Installing them was cake too. I thought it would be hard but it was far from that!

Sweet man!!! I might be getting some for my car in the future too. I have strange 10 ways and they are noisy and rough with my prokits so i think that im gonna invest the money on the D-specs when i redo the suspension next summer. What does the remote adjuster look like and where do you have it placed???

I love adjustable shocks. I run Strange 10 Way Adjustables all around and cant get enough of them. From street to track and road race seting in just few clicks.
