Sedan Specific Suspension Question
Mods, please leave it here... I've searched in the brake/suspension forum and most of that is coupe stuff...
Is anyone running Eibach Pros with Tokico D-Spec? (I'm sure there are lots)... please post impressions - ride comfort, handling characteristics - recommended or not...
I'm not looking for coilover feedback, I've read plenty...
TIA

Most sedans here that are dropped are running 250z springs in front and coupe springs in rears. The springs drop the car 1-inch in front and 0.5-inches in the rear. The spring rates are the same as on OEM sport suspension and doesn't change the ride quality. However, it handles a lot better than the OEM sedan sport suspension springs.

i was running it for a while. review with pics here:

the combo seems a bit too rough for my tastes. if the shocks are set too soft, the car bounces. if the shocks are set too hard, the car jitters. if you have sways, those play a much larger role with this setup, too. overall, i was loving the look (the drop is perfect), but was not too happy that i kept having to slow down to go over speed bumps and up my driveway.

Did you try all variations of settings with the D-Specs and not find anything suitable?

code - I just read the full thread... looks like you went though several attempts to be satisfied and really never got there...
I'm looking for "decent" ride comfort with better than avg handling... based on the thread you linked it seems I might meet those needs with he d-specs?...
Edit: ooops, I posted this after your response above...
Maybe coilovers need another look from me

i do recommend coil-overs. the trick there is that the manufacturer has already figured out all the pros and cons, the settings are done just right (supposedly), and you know what to expect. the thing with mixing and matching is that yes, you do pay less, and you do choose what your car looks like, but the handling is an undefined variable that you don't know until you actually try it.
if i had to do it all over again (and i'm not going to, at least not with this car), i'd get Tein CS, set them to medium-to-soft, and forget it.

Btw, I pair this up with 350z revised springs and stillen sways on Med/Med setting.
Hope this helps
