What about the other models? Anyone know if they would work well with aftermarket springs?

It seems like the HP full suspension kit is in development, but the shocks are available, maybe, since part #'s are up.

the d-specs are the adjustable shocks/struts. they are not height adjustable. you need to have coilover springs like ground controls to be height adjustable.

i run D-Specs on my G35C...been running them for about 3.5yrs now with
great results. tokico (hitachi)makes the stock dampers for nissan so it
was kinda natural for me to try them on my G. i run them at 1.5 to 2.5
turns range from full stiff on the car. it's a solid ride yet still comfy.

so if i got springs then it would be height adjustable? because springs dont come wiht it right so we would have to get our own springs anyways?? do you guys think that this shock and spring combo would be better than coilovers for DD with a bit of spirited driving?

for DD and a bit of spirited driving as you said, the EnduraTech's are
wat you probably want.

as far as your other question...
you'd get your lowering springs + D-specs, or just use stock springs +
D-Specs. your choice. the ride height depends on the lowering spring
you buy.

the d-specs are the same length as stock.
