My next upgrade will be the suspension at the end of the year. I'm fairly set on what I want to do (thanks Crazy Al, F1Fan, et. al.). I like the idea of an adjustable shock for the obvious reasons, but how easyis it/how long does it take/how oftendo you guys/girls change the suspension settings on the D-Specs? Are there any "gotchas" that I need to keep in mind when adjusting them? Anything else other than the Tokico's to consider? Thanks.

 

had my d-spec with bmr springs in for about 3 months now, there is a learning curve to the setup. try 5turns out as a starting point, I ended up with 4 turns in front with 41/2 in the rear. depends on your driving style and roads. Install was straight forward and easy with spring compressor and power tools, love them

 

Shock adjustments are super easy. You can adjust all four in less than five minutes.

 

buy an extra adjustment tool! (you'll see what I mean)

 

Thanks for the info. Saw it going one of two ways: 1) If it was too much to deal with, I'd get frustrated monkeying around with it and end up regretting my purchase. or 2) If it's a 5-10 minute deal, I'll tinker like mad and have a blast doing it.

RodeoFlyer: Does the tool break easily or are they easy to lose? Either way, thanks for the heads-up.

 

The only gotcha is to be careful when adjusting for softer setting that you don’t go more than 6 turns from full firm. If you turn the adjustment too far it can come apart internally and you are hosed. I haven’t experienced this, I have been careful, so I can’t be sure but this is what I was cautioned about when I got mine.

LOL, what'd you do?

 

the tool is about the size of a 9/16 nut - very easy to lose

 

Bummer. I keep mine in the center console and only comes out when I'm making adjustments. Where'd you get another one? I need to get a little red cap for the front covers and can't figure out where to get it.

 

i'm running Bilstein's

my buddy ordered another one - cant recall where from
