Alright, here's the deal.
I've done some research, and cannot find the answer I am looking for.
Specifically, how much do the rear struts need to be honed down to make the rear sleeves fit?
Does anyone have measurements of the outside diameter of the D-specs and the inside diameter of the sleeves?
I realize I'm going to get told to search, I have been, with no luck what so ever.
I've e-mailed Ground control, with no response so far. I cannot find an e-mail address for Tokico / Hitachi(?). I can't call them because I am on the other side of the world. >.<
All help is greatly appreciated.

You don't hone the struts, you hone the adapter rings on the inside of the rear sleeves. I don't remember the exact measurements but i dont think its much. I just took both the strut and sleeves to my machinist and told him what needed to be done and he took care of it. Hope that helps
all i did was cut the perches off of the dspecs, then assemble and install
Eat my shift
Mike, I the sleeves were already taken care of when you got them.

Thanks for the help guys. I was really hoping to get some kind of measurement so I could send that info over to GC and have them build the sleeves around it.
I'll just go ahead and order them, then have a shop fit the sleeves on.
Wish me luck! Hah...

If you order the right Ground Controls they will work properly out of the box. When I ordered mine I went with Ground Controls for stock struts since there was no Dspec option. I hear one of the 3 options fits the Dspecs properly in the rear.

When I ordered mine, I mentioned that I will be pairing them up with D-specs. An hour later GC e-mailed me telling me that they don't have a kit that works with them. I went ahead and ordered the ones for stock struts. I guess I'll end up bringing them into a shop and having them fitted...
Thanks for the help though.
