In the past week I have purchased two things that I think will make my car the AutoX/DD combo I want out of it...I bought Tokico DSpec struts and shocks and MM CC plates to replace the useless UPR ones.

I am just wondering does anyone else run these shocks and struts? If so, what are your settings front and rear?

I should be getting them installed next week and I will be sure to update everyone!

I also bought a Steeda quadrant because I think my UPR isn't aligned correctly, its making a popping noise occasionally when depressing and letting go of the pedal.

Not sure on the settings but it should hold the road like glue! I can tell you what, the first time I had my GT out with the suspension work that is done to it, It was scary in a good way, its amazing how this thing sticks to corners

Okay, just took the car to a wonderful tech here in Springhill FL, who did a great job installing these parts.

My alignment is ever so slightly off, but the ride is 100x better on the 5 turns from full hard setting both front and rear.

Rebound is so much better and predictable than the KYB dampers. Steering response still hasn't changed to what I want it, but a new MM steering shaft is probably the next big mod.

For the same price I paid for these, anyone can barely afford a HP Tokico kit. I got lucky and probably would have paid the regular prices to buy these if I knew how much it would help on the street.

I only problem that the installer was the spacers used for the strut, using the recommended amount he had to switch that up for hood clearance of the tops of the adjusters.

Many thanks to AM, MM and my installer for doing this. I am happy to drive my car after getting frustrated with the handling after driving a friends Mustang.
