Tokico D-Spec's

ok, so I think I've made my decision on buying the D-Specs, but i was wondering if anyone knew if they used the stock mounts(which i assume) or if they came with new mounts. also wheres the best deals on these? best I've found so far is on ebay for $528 shipped. any help is appreciated

I LOVE my D-Specs on Sportlines. No they don't come with strut mounts you have to use yours over. I had an issue with mine, being the nut to hold the strut mounts on does not fit down in the mount completely. I had to use a diegrinder to built up washers that have a large enough hole to go over the strut yet be small enought to fit the hole. I tried my best to explain, it its as clear as mud let me know.

Haha Sorry! Hope this might explain better. I'm not sure if this is only in early model J's but it WAS the case for mine.

ya, thats prolly where I'll get em. I just called them to see what kinda shipping time im looking at, and they said 8-10 days. i know thats not bad, but i was hoping to get them a little quicker, cuz i have rims and a brake upgrade i wanna put on all at the same time. oh well. any others have a decent place to get em?

Yah i got them on ebay for around 530. Not bad I called and asked Tokico what the average price for the set is and he said 900, and the 500 is about wholesale.

Yeah i just recently bought a set off ebay also, around 530 shipped and i had them in about a week and a half or so. The only other place i found them was through Gravana at 600 plus shipping.

Im waiting on new isolators and rear mounts to come in so that i can get mine assembled with my vogtland 1.7 drop srpings and get them installed in the car along with new lower control arms, brakes and wheels and tires.

where can i find new mounts? i definately need a new front one for sure, cuz when i put my springs on last summer, i torqued one of the bolts too hard, and snapped it, so my driver side strut mount has 2 bolts holding it instead of 3
