who has tokico dspecs???HElp!

i need some help. right now all 4 of my shocks are at the stiffest setting. and im thinking i need to loosen up the rears since its sort of hard for me to take tight corners, 1 of my tires get in the air. so im wondering what setting everyone has their shocks on. i dont care about comfort, i just want the best performance out of my shocks

go down in stiffness about 3 to 4 turns on the dial and you should be good... although i have sedan i have mine's set to middle of the road... comfort with enough dampening for taking them onramp loops at double the posted speed and nary a hint of body roll (just a little to allow for the inside wheel not picking up)....

Wow that's stiff! Shocks are to control the springs. They aren't designed to alter the spring rates! If they are so stiff that the tire lifts off the ground, they aren't doing their job!

I'm not sure how you can have these on your car and not know how to adjust them? IMHO I'd start at the middle or maybe 1/3 from full soft and work from there

Only if you have the extensions.

I set mine about 4 turns from full soft. With Eibach pros, it's just a tad stiffer than stock. You don't need extensions unless you want to play with them all the time... Just pull off the rear wheel, unscrew 2 bolts then pull the shock down and adjust.... less then 10 minutes a wheel. Obviously the fronts just require opening the hood and unscrewing the cap
