Re: Special D or Sport?
depends on what your gonna do. Sports are damped firmer, more suited for autocross and track days. I have sports, they're great, daily driver too.

Re: Special D or Sport?
My car is a daily driver, and while they are stiffer than some people like, I like em (can't stand cars that ride really smooth and bounce alot ). Usually run the fronts on about 25-50% stiff and the rears on 1 (0-1-2-3, soft to stiff). They can be somewhat enbearable on a rough road on full stiff, though

The adjusters on the struts (front) are on the top of the strut. The rears have to be removed to adjust them.
