just received two brand new front d spec shocks today from a store/sponsor from g35driver (whos name i wont disclose at this point) and im missing the adjusters, can anyone take a pic of there d spec adjusters and mabye even of the manual on how to adjust them because i did not receive that either, thanks


i know what the adjusters look like from web pics but this is all mine came with and it doesnt look right, the pic in the background is the correct adjusters of my laptop.

any help would be appreciated.

 

Do they work? I mean worst case, you could mark them yourself but I'd want the right part if that's what you're supposed to get.

 

im putting them on tomorrow, i cant see how just a screw on cap is going to adjust anything, i think ill need the correct adjusters, the seller is calling tokico monday. can someone tell me if the adjusters on theirs had a peice that actually inserts into the hole on top of the shock and then screws down, i just have a screw on cap. seems like this cap is for non adjustable tokicos, im positive i got the right shocks the part number is d specs but i think i just didnt receive the adjusters. and does anyone have the manual these comes with.

 

theres a adjuster **** they only give you one so check the complete box

 

was wondering what setting your d specs came, since i have now way of adjusting them right now, mine ride really firm right now and i want them softer, did yours come adjusted to firm setting out of the box?

 

you can use an allen key until you get a Tokico adjuster. The adjuster is a square key but an allen will work.

 

sounds good i got them on and im getting a noise from the drivers side and they ride really stiff, ill try allen key tomorrow.

 

they were set to the firm position when i got them

 

on your rears can you see the top of the rear shock i cant find it?

 

i know you need extentions for the rear, and the only way to adjust them without it would be to drop the shock down from under car, theres a diy in the suspension section on how to drill hole for the extensions. i think adjusted it a bit (fronts) because its riding pretty smooth now.

 

Sorry I can't post of a pic of the adjuster tool. However it is basically an allen key.

Remove the caps you have shown in the pics and then insert a small allen key into the very top of the shock extension. You should be able to turn it right or left with very light force. Turning all the way clockwise is full hard. Start from there with all of your adjustments. Turn counterclockwise up to 7 turns for full soft. Most guys on here run between 3.5 to 4 turns from full hard.

I got the rear extensions and used the DIY here. It's worth the few bucks and time to do them.

You either need the extensions and the DIY to install them. Otherwise drop the top of the shock with the two top mounting bolts in the wheel well to adjust.
