Tokico D-Spec / Eibach Sportlines

Okay, I'm looking at this combination but the question is, I'm looking at a pull the old stuff out, put the new stuff in. What parts exactly would I need and where could I get them to make this happen. I've searched and spent about the last hour looking and didn't find anything concrete. Thanks.

I picked up my Toliko D-Specs and Sportline springs from Jason @ AplusPerformance.com. ( http://www.j-body.org/members/jasonaudio/ ) He is a member on this forum, and a great guy to deal with.

It's all there in the search, but I'll help you out. You might want to go all new stuff which isn't a bad idea at all while you're at it. You got the springs and shocks/struts. You will need some new strut mounts. You could also get new dust boots with bump stops. While you're in there, you might also consider getting new ball joints and sway bar end links. Those aren't required but I did them because they were in desperate need of change. You have an '03 so you may be fine. All this stuff could be found at your local parts store or online. After you put everything together outside the car, it's pretty much just taking out the old, putting in the new. Get an alignment, and you're good to go. I think I pretty much covered it all, I'm sure someone else will chime in if I didn't lol. Hope this helps!

Hey man I have the same setup. And have searched and searched for a good complete suspension package. Im currently looking at getting front and rear OEM strut mounts(overkill engineering mortorsports/ www.overkillengineneeringmotorsports.com) . A few people have written some reviews on the forums here about how awesome these mounts are. I believe you are also going to need parts from the 95-99 strut mount assembly to complete the job, and the owner of OEM told me he was going to do a write up about what exactly is needed. My dspecs did not come with new shock boots so im reusing my old ones, and looking at getting new bump stops in the front.

you should check the site out and also the other posts about how these solid mounts last and work much better.

The bump stops come with the dust shields. So you might as well replace both at the same time.
