    make sure they have pressure, i have to have mine rebuilt due to that saw a way sends them with no nitrogen, one of mine has 40# and the other has 0. they sound like hell, going to have to put the 5100's back on until they are done.

    I can not believe that half of the votes, before I voted, on this poll chose Toytec & billys over Fox coilovers. There are too many Toytec/Billy/OME brainwashed members that cloud the info on the forum for others in need of help. You will be happy with your Fox coilovers. And sell your billys still new in the box on the "for sale" section, they should go quick.

    look good, i don't know why people pick the toytec setup over coilovers, you can't rebuild a 5100 and the ride is much better with a coilover. Easy choice in my opinion.

    What do you mean by that? Take my current stuff out and move the uca up and down before installing the coilovers?
