Default Tokico D-Spec Adjustable Shocks for ISX50! Finally Out?
http://www.hitachi-hap-la.com/tokico...app/Lexus.html

Anybody have any word on this?

Follow up:

I called Tokico and spoke with someone. It's so new that they don't even have prices for them yet. I did however, get 2 phone numbers of shops that sell the shocks in SOCAL. Please PM me if you want them.

"Infinite" Adjustability like the Koni Sport shocks. I'm excited for them

^^^adjustable...the few shocks available for our isx50's are not adjustable...this would interest people with aftermarket springs that want the option to adjust dampening...

How much would 4 shocks and 4 springs is going to cost? Might as well buy coilover.

For people who think getting a rebuild and have 2-4 weeks of downtime every 20,000 miles is RIDICULOUS.

A good option for those with Eibach springs and when eventually the OEM shocks wear out, like me.

That's why you buy a 2nd set of coils

This is a very great option. If I had aftermarket springs, I would be very happy about this.

Also, this could be your alternative setup, while you wait for your coils to be rebuilt...

H&R Sport + Tokico D-Spec's = Best setup before coilovers. IMO

Paul you're ballin, just check our your avatar! hahaha
I thought the D-Spec came with springs from them, and they were coming out with the Illumina, just an adjustable shock. I wonder though how these would last or how they perform against Bilstein shocks..
I'm looking for a good shock to match with my H&R Springs.

I also have H&R springs, and i've been waiting for either Koni or Tokico to come out with their adjustable shocks. Looks like Tokico came out first. I contacted Koni and they still have no interest in producing any Koni Yellows for the ISX50.

Also, when I called Tokico earlier, i inquired about the Illuminas, and as of now, they are not gonna be produced (because of D-Spec).
