I searched but everyone seems to do the shocks/struts with springs.  I have no desire to lower the car.  The roads here can be pretty bad.  I've got one leaking left rear shock, and only 13.5K on the odometer.  Has anyone upgraded just the shocks/struts to Tokico D-specs?  I've been looking into upgrading mine and these seem to be the ticket.  User adjustable, go soft for the trips, go stiff for the curves.  If I got these, are they manufactured to stock specs as far as geometry?  I don't want to get them, then have to order special bolts, and cut notches for camber adjustment after the fact, etc.  Are they durable?  Awefully expensive, only seem to be sold in sets of 4, what happens if only one fails, like my stocker...  Anybody got some insight?

Are they any good?  For the price, and being non adjustable, I could get GT takeoffs way cheaper.

i've read that many say pay the extra $200 for the adjustibility and more-performance-minded design.

They bolt right in from what I've read.  I don't have the D-specs, but I have the Koni's on stock V8 springs.  The softest setting is very similar to stock shock tuning.  The adjustment is great for corner carving.  V8 struts & springs could be a great option to try first.

As for warranty, the Koni's have a lifetime warranty.  I replaced a leaking koni on a different car; emailedto get a RMA number, ship it to them, and in a week or two I had a replacement.
