Well no matter what, on 20's, the ride quality will always suffer. I actually regret lowering my car, too many damn headaches...But im sure the tokico's will greatly help.

With a drop you want the 9's which are 3/4" shorter than the 7's. Overall they are a better feeling and working shock. The shop foreman (ex race car driver and race mechanic) at my dealer took my car out with me and noticed the improvement without first knowing they were dspecs. The dspecs are adjustable from 0 turns(full hard) to 7 (full soft) I find the dspecs at 5 is equal to my stock sport shocks so a good amount of extra softness available. I run them at 4 now and sometimes go to 3.5 and to 2.5 at the track. If you don't have the sport suspension I'm not sure how much difference there will be.

every vendor i ask for price on tokico tell me i need a dsp 7??? whats up with that?



"DSP-7 is for all Zs and Gs except for AWD Sedans.

DSP-9 is spec'd out for a Z.
using non-z springs is not recommended. "
