UPDATE:.......
Lemme tell you... you REALLY fell the difference between the setting. Wow the car is much softer now. Almost Lexus like ( I've owned two before the G) and the ride is very comparable to only with a sporty edge due to my Stillen sways!
I'm gonna run them like this for a few days until the rear extensions I ordered from Stillen arrive later next week. Once again I'm very impressed with these D'specs!!!
Just after I bought my G coupe new in the summer of 2003, I had ridden as a passenger in my law partner's then newly leased Lexus ES300. That car had significantly more ride compliance than my new G35 coupe. I even drove the Lexus a couple times and found that the ride compliance bordered on floaty - though not quite Cadillac 1970s.
The other day I finally got through to Tokico's technical suppport dept. (located in LA). I had an extensive conversation with the one technician who compared the HPs (Blues) to OEM, then to D-specs.

I'd need to try your car (at least ride in it) to believe it.

I enjoyed the ride quality of both cars and have driven/riden in several BMWS (3 to 7 series).
I wanted a ride quality like a stock BMW 335 and believe I've accomplished that.
My car rides very comfortable now especially for Chicago streets in the wintertime.
Keep in mind I also have Stillen adjustable sway bars and have my front set full still and rear set to medium.
Love it!
When my rear extensions arrive, I'm softening up the rear a tad bit and maybe adjusting the fronts to 7 turns from full stiff to see how it rides.
There is a tradeoff though...the more you adjust the softness, you more squat/floaty feel you get from the rebound/compression levels.
So finding that sweet spot is critical to 100% ride and drive satisfaction. I believe that's what I have right now but haven't gone any softer yet to confirm it
Thanks I may end up doing that later on come phase III.
