Toxico D Spec & RCE Yellows - 04 Sti
1/18/2010 8:26:01 AM
Well I've had my D-Specs fitted for nearly a week now and i must say the car is sooo much smoother to drive now than it has even been

The way it absorbs all the bumps and road irregularities is fantastic compared the STI struts. Before i use to brace myself and even clench my jaw on some of the bigger bumps (like some of the motorway expansion joints) but now it handles them with relative ease without ever throwing or unsettling the car

Yes its still a firm ride as you would expect with near enough to 300 pound springs F&R (RCE Yellows) and 24mm swaybars F&R which is how i want it, but overall it is so much more controlled and a hell of lot more livable for daily driving, even my G/F noticed how much smooth it was on the freeway 

Ive been down the cheap coilover route before (which lasted all of 1 month!) and these D-Specs would out handle and ride better than any of them

On top of this the shocks are widely adjustable to suit your needs of comfort V's handling and to suit many different springs, install is a easy as original shocks with all mounting tabs for brake lines and ABS and no knocking noises like the majority of coilovers.

If your looking for replacement struts or after an upgrade, then look no further as D-specs will deliver

Make sure you get the optional extender for the rear shock adjustment too, as it makes life so much easier

Well I just had my tranformer pack (chose the yellow springs) fitted yesterday plus a set of whiteline fixed strut tops.. WOW, what an amazing difference in the car. I'll have a better review over the week but yesterdays driving was a huge improvement from before. The car is handling on rails, and actually a much more enjoyable ride - really the way it should be..!

Thanks Des for all the advice and assistance and the wheel alignment at Pedders Artarmon was quality!

Cheers, Fred
p.s. a VERY happy customer..!

Hi Des

 

The rexxie is feeling AWESOME !

 

I am really enjoying carving through corners.

 

The damping is perfect for the street and I am looking forward to a track day to try  different settings.

 

Thanks again for making this happen !

 

best regards

Happy on Blacks - 05 Sti

One of our new customers provides some feedback on the RCE Black Springs
*****************

Des, I have now had a chance to fit the Racecomp black 'regular guy' springs on my 05 STI Impreza and can report that fitting was straight-forward and relatively easy to do, even for those with average mechanical experience. I am also happy to report that the springs have exceeded my expectations. They have near standard compliance characteristics with great road surface communication, sharper and more responsive feedback and excellent mid-corner and straight line bump absorption. While they are slightly lower than standard, clearance is still good and provides for a more stable ride under brakes with good dive resistance. I am using them with standard STI struts and would have to say they are near perfect for road applications and everyday driving while still having an edge for those that like to punt a little harder. Highly recommended.
