I’m looking at either the tokico illumina’s or the Dspec… whats the difference between the 2, I know the dspec cost more, but what is the “performance” difference, is there any?

"but what is the “performance” difference, is there any?" I wondered the same thing and after doing the research I decided not worth mucho more bucks for "performance" shocks and struts for my 96 vert. Not into high performance and Monroe had a $60. rebate when you bought four of anything Monroe, so I went that way and very pleased with the handling, cornering and ride. FYI, I asked around and Tokico is the buzz word.

New Michelin Harmony's gave it a very smooth, sure-footed ride. Not cheap but I definitely got what I paid for. Old shocks completely worn out and front struts locked up so you can imagine the big difference plus the Michelins.

The dspec's are drag race oriented as the illumina's are road race oriented.
