Default Tokico D-Specs (comments)

I've been looking at getting the D-Specs for a bit now and I was wondering if anyone had comments on these. I'm also wondering how the stock springs would ride with them. If I go with aftermarket springs, I'm looking at the Eibach Pro-Kit, comments on these would be good too. Thanks.

D- specs are wonderful and fully adj. The pro-kit is great but you will need many other mods to adj the caster/camber in the front and center the rear. It is a 2 inch drop all the way around and requires that an alignment be done by someone that knows what they are doing. It will give the car a great low profile look and the suspension will handle much better.

Actually, I'm pretty sure the Por-kiy is just a 1 inch drop; the Sportlines give you two.

Pro Kit gives about 1.5" lowering. Here are two pictures of my car before and after w/Tokico's
Also I think Bilstein currently has a shock offering for the stock height.

Yep like said above, Pro-kit will give you 1.5" all around. You do not need anything else to go with it unless you wish to up grade. You can get full camber spec's that Eibach calls out for without installing camber bolts. You not need to install adjustable lca's, you will stay within Ford's pinion angle spec's. Now you can upgrade alot of the suspension parts and get a much better handling/riding car, but it is not required.

You will NEED a Adj. Panhard Bar though. It is a must have item.

I was lucky and did not need camber/caster bolts. I have adjustble LCA's but I didn't need those either. An aftermarket LCA is recommended for less wheel hop so you might as well buy an adjustable one IF your pinion angle chnages enough to need adjustment.
