For those with D-Specs
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.

RE: For those with D-Specs
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
(you'll see what I mean)

RE: For those with D-Specs
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.

RE: For those with D-Specs
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.

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