Tokico D-Spec owners step in

Curious what settings you guys run when at the track and on the street.

I initially went 2 turns back from full firm and it was a little too firm for me so I went another 2 turns and it felt about like stock to me. Not real sure where to set it for the 1/4 mile though.

Re: Tokico D-Spec owners step in

3.5 turns out on the back at the track and 5-7 turns out on the front depending on tire and how fast the front end is rising.


on the street I tighten the back down to 2 turns out on the back and on the front but I have coil overs up front and no sway bars so I run them a little stiff.

Full loose for cruising with no twisties.
2 turns from loose front/3 in back if going out on a curvy road fun run
Full loose front/mid loose rear for drag racing.

How does it drive on the street with no front sway bar?

Re: Tokico D-Spec owners step in

I certainly don't mind but I'm not exactly a corner carver. If you push it you will find the limit fairly quickly. Handle just fine as long as your not testing it.

Re: Tokico D-Spec owners step in

glad some one posted this thread as I am installing D-Specs soon as well. Not to steal the thread but I have heard to run them 4 from the firmest setting while breaking them in? any truth to this?
