The big difference is when you hit a noticable bump (man hole cover) you don't grit your teeth.
I also changed out Steeda Ultalite springs for Sams Steeda Sports.
Thanks again Sam, the wait was well worth it.

You wanna sell the D-specs?

That's a DOWNSIDE? I mean, with the factory shock/struts I could go 110 on a mildly rough road and it was a white-knuckle experience. With the Konis the ride always feels in control over all surfaces and I don't have to feel like the wheel is going to fly out of my hand or I'm going to go airborne or bottom out at high speeds. In other words I can go 60mph and feel like I'm going 30mph...that's a GOOD thing!!

My original Saleen suspension was so much better at 135 mph(LA 5 freeway North 5:00am 06') compared to the stock suspension. The Koni's must be nice with those Steeda Sport springs. Eriki

Thread ressurection.

I currently have Tokico D-specs and BMR SP009 springs. The ride quality is not that great and just wondering if I should replace the D-Specs with Koni Sports? Roads around here are not the best and sometimes it feels like my car is going to fall apart. I have tried different settings on the D-specs, but nothing makes it feel better.

I have the Yellows, but never the D-specs.
I would look at all the post where people have had both, and most all of them vote for the Yellows.
Seems to be more options out there than ever before.

Sam also set me up, great guy, with great info, great prices...look him up.
