Tokico d spec for Coupe

Does anyone here know if installing the Tokico d-specs for the Z will lower the coupe more than d-specs made for the G ?

The G and Z Tokico's differ in that on the Z application the Tokico's have shorter rear shocks. Remember the rear springs on these cars are not located on the shocks. So it's impossible for the rear shocks to effect ride height. In any event just to say it, you can have shorter shocks in the front and that will not change ride height, spring mount height will not change. Not to be confused with Koni's which do have removeable front spring perches and feature two different position's for the front spring perch.

Thanks. To clarify - for myself - d spec for z or g won't matter eventhough z shock is slightly shorter. Height will be regulated by effect springs have ! ?

Correct.

Will you be using these with lowering springs now or in the future?
