Category: Steering & Suspension
Price: $350
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part Fits (you may select multiples): Series I
Location (US State/Canada/Int): CA

I'm selling these because I ended up swapping over to a set of KW coilovers to better suit my growing aspiration for track days. (I don't have the D-Spec extension cables for the rear shocks as I modified them to fit for my KW.)
Tokico D-Specs: $350 SOLD!
Racing Beat Springs: $180 SOLD!
Local Pick up preferred, but willing to ship (domestically). Paypal payment is preferred.
Thanks in advance!

The car settled a little after a month of driving. Here's the best picture I could find of the car when the suspension settled:

Racing Beat says it lowers the car 1/2 inch all around which was pretty consistent.
Hope this helps!

Got the original idea from what another member had done with his set. He used a hex key or something to bind the proper size allen on the end (DocGator is his S/N I think?). My buddy had the idea of hacking the end off and soldering the right sized allen bit on the end. This is what we came up with:
It's pretty sturdy (used a different kind of solder), but I haven't put them on yet. More than likely will drill the side of the tower to put them in and make for an easier access port. Once I get these installed I'm planning on doing a write up or something if they work out.

I have this same combination. It's great. Used for multiple track days and have about 25K miles so far as my daily driver.
Sometimes a little harsh depending on your comfort (and maturity lol) level, and driving on crusty icy roads can be a lot of vibrations, but overall it's a great compromise combination for road and track. 400 bucks for both is a steal, even used.
Buy a new set of the adjuster cables, and set them up right. They have a tendancy to break, fyi, so be careful with them or you can get stuck having to take the whole suspension apart.

These are the shocks specifically, and do not come with the rear boot assembly or dust covers. Those from the OEM unit are in most cases reusable.
The shocks are still for sale, but only as a set. Hope this helps.
