I have read and heard good things about the Tokico D-Spec shocks/struts. I don't know which springs you have but I think if you want to do the twisties, you would want a stiffer spring.

I am running the d-specs and H&R supersports and love them as a combo. Great in the twisties

I think the D-specs will be a nice option if you want to hit the track next year. Adjustable's are definitely the way to go for an all around car. How much you looking to get rid of those 90/10s for?

Thats what i plan on getting once i get my H&R super sports. I figured if i'm gonna lower it might as well replace the stock shocks/struts. Not the best out there but the cars a daily driver and will see little to no track time so i'm sure the HP's will hold up just fine.

I want d-specs or bilsteins but I have the KYB GR2's in the front and the kyb gas-a-adjust's on the back and they are nice and stiff. I love the ride but it might be a little stiff for some, there is no bouncing at all, and a rough stretch of road will punish u. I was actually worried that they would be to soft for my suspension mods, but they weren't. They are a great budget shock/strut.
