I’ve had my Tokico D-Specs since 2005 and they now have over 100,000 miles on them.
I’m running probably every piece of Steeda suspension ever made on my car.
The car is also nose heavy due to the blower and related components.
The roads up here are terrible which is why I’d rather have something with some adjustment.
Unfortunately Tokico discontinued their shocks for the Mustang years ago.
The Tokicos had quite a wide range of adjustment. I may just pull them out and check to see if they are still good.
I still have my OEM shocks that have 0 miles on them. Maybe I’ll throw them in and see what it feels like.
any change Tokico would/can rebuild them?

I ran the Koni yellows for years, but just removed them to try the Koni red Special Actives. I just felt the Koni Yellows we're a little boot to stiff and harsh, even running them at full soft all the time. And I was on stock springs, aftermarket sway bars. On certain roads and situations they were great, but I'm in the DC/ Maryland area now and the roads aren't always in the best of shape. That said, I have the Koni yellows listed on fb market place for a fraction of the cost of a new set. If anyone's interested in them let me know.

Koni Yellows only have adjustable rebound. The compression is non adjustable.... and is too stiff for most folks when roads are lousy.

My Tokico D Spec’s are finally shot. Any suggestions for a comparable set of rear shocks? Thanks!

My Tokico D Specs are still working but I have been looking strongly at the QA1 double adjustable coil overs for the ability to alter ride height.

The Koni's arent too bad but I prefer the Bilsteins. I put Bilsteins on my 13 with BMR coils and really like the balance of ride and comfort.

If your interested in a quote, just send me message. We offer Koni, Bilstein, Eibach, and many other brands.
