OK, I've been drooling at everyone running these shocks, and EVERYONE swears by them. I have an 05 sedan, with 05 350Z springs, 20" wheels (245/35) and the ride isn't bad, but could use some improvement. So everyone has told me to upgrade the stock shocks/struts to the Tokico's so where can I get some at a decent price? What is a decent price?
From my searches, I see that I should set them up 4turns out from full up front and 3.5 turns out from full in the rear.
Soes that setup sound about right (for you suspension pros)? My priorities would be ride quality, then performance. I already have stillen sway bars for handling, so I'm really looking for ride quality improvements.

4 turns out from full hard is what I have all around on my coupe, med/med on my Stillen Sways but I also have Eibaach Prokits which are progressive and a Stillen Rear Strut Brace.
Alignment, wheels and tires is also a key factor. My ride quality feels really good at 4 turns out all around. The wheels and tires make it a little rough since I have 9.5/10.5" wide 19" Volks w/ 245/35 and 275/35 tires. The struts are great... it feels comfortable for a lowered car and it corners like it's on rails. I have my front camber at -.06 and -0.8 on the front and -1.6 and -1.6 on the rears.
I got my D-specs for 550 OTD at F-1 Motorsports in LA from Chris.

You can get them on ebay for ~ $489 shipped. Add tax if you are in CA. The sellers name is jdmwerks. A lot of people on these boards have got them through that guy.

4 turns front/back would be better. I am useing 3.5 all the way around but am going to change it back to 4.
