Default Tokico shocks reviews?

Looking at the Tokico DSP 16 way adjustable shocks because I lowered my car with the Pro kit springs. I do take my car onto the tracks.
I found an earlier thread that also recommended Bilsteins. Anybody with these shocks with the pro kit? What are some reviews?

Love mine, although I never adjust them tighter than 5 out.

Love the adjustability. I have Steeda Ultralite springs and I normally run the D-Specs 3 up front and 3.5 in the rear. When I go on road trips I put them at 6 all the way around for a smoother ride. Then when I go to the track I have them at 6 up front and then I play with the rear ones depending on the track conditions. Again, gotta love being able to adjust the ride for the situation.

I love my D-specs and would buy them again if I had to. One of the best mods that I've done so far.

The Tokico's creap after a while; that is ok as long as you are constantly monitoring and adjusting them. Go with Koni's, they don't.

What does that mean, the settings change? Mine have been on for 1 1/2 years and do not do that. Anytime I change the setting I count back the turns to 0 and are always spot on from the setting I had it at. From what I've read, D-Specs are not the same shocks Tokico used to make in-case you're referring to some older models.
