i didnt know tokico made the d-spec for our cars. ive heard good things about them in consideration to the price compared to other options.

yea thats what i been hearing too, i was debating between the kyb gr-2 or the tokicos which are only $10 more for each spring from where im getting them. so i think im gonna stick with the tokicos since i heard there a better upgrade and that the kyb's are and oem upgrade struts.......i just like to hear what everybody else thinks to get an idea, since some people have either or on there ride.
also how is the ride on both brands...hard, firm, stiff, bouncy etc....
thanx again....

kyb is about the same as the tokico blue and probably both of them are not too different from the s/r's
you can try using illuminas from the probe/mx6/626/milennia but ive only seen that setup on mx3's used with gc's. i dont know if the lower spring seat is the same diameter as the mx3 struts

actually, it depends on what you mean by trump....
tokico blues and gr2's are valved opposite so its hard to say which is better
