D Specs are crap. I have known three people with them and all three had issues. Well one is still having issues getting them warrantied. Look into Tein BASIS coilovers, they are nice for the price. They don't offer damping or rebound adjustment but that is useless to you anyway and is a useless feature on coilovers under $2,000.00 for the most part anyway. The Tein BASICS are a step up from the BASIS

I would like the adjustment though, make for a more still ride, or less for long road trips. Basics don't seem too expensive is why I asked how well they perform. 9k, it's hard to read you sometimes, don't know if I should take you serious or sarcastic. I wouldn't think you would give me false info though.

Research. It all depends what your use is. the adjustments on the cheap stuff most buy don't do crap, it's just gimicking BS.

All of the issues I have seen have been suspension sagging related. Some with low mileage and some after a few thousand miles. It's fairly common here as well, there have been a few threads about it, just search.
No doubt adjusting them may change things in terms of feel but I highly doubt each shocks adjustment will be equal and so it makes that feature essentially useless. But I would be curious to see a full set on a shock dyno.

I have had D-Specs on my own RX-8 for several years, paired w/RB springs, and I have enjoyed them so far. I have also noticed damping differences with as little as 1/4-1/2 turn of the adjusters.
Most people having issues that I had to deal with were from using a torque gun to install the shaft nut. Being hardened steel, the shafts do not like the shock/impact from torque guns and will snap off.

No, it's usually a shock issue in case of the D specs. Yours proves my point although they did last 60k which is pretty good I guess . The shocks suck IMO, most that I have seen fail have been with much, much less mileage. Springs can sag but it's rare and all of the D Spec issues I have seen have been the shocks themselves.
