    Well, this is possibly the greatest thing I have heard about in a long time. Toytec is going to be releasing a kit to convert your front 5100 Shocks to adjustable coilovers. The kit is supposed to cost $399. The 5100s are $169 so the total cost would be $560! Hell yeah. Its not on their website yet, but lets just say I have decided to order 5100s instead of the spacer lift and will await the conversion kit.

    Congrats on the 5100s Will! Your Taco is gonna look awesome.

    I'm very excited about this. Its gonna make my suspension mods a lot better than I thought and the ability to convert to coilovers for so cheap is awesome.

    Hell yeah! Finally a better and cheaper solution to my ongoing search for a sweet setup. Any info on what the height adj will be, ie... 2.5/3/3.5". But none the less, these with some TC UCA will be a great deal...

    Id like to order the bilsteins now, but would suck to have to keep paying the cost for reallignment. So I guess I will save up for the complete lift, front & back. Gunna be sweet.

    Yup, if all goes well I will be going TDY in Oct time frame. In one month I can save up enough for a complete lift and a few other goodies.

    I priced it out and looks like 5100' F & R, this kit, UCA's, Dakar Leaf pak, drop down kit, timbrens, all for about 1500. Thats about the price of a basic 6" ProComp lift. Not as high a lift, but damn it's gunna ride so sweet.

    I feel like a kid waiting for Disney World or something LMAO:D

    ya baby

    We do have the kits in stock; they are $399.99 plus shipping. The machined sleeves and nuts are clear anodized and are very precision made. The kit pictured is intended to be run with the stock top mount and bushings, the spring used is an eibach coil that is longer and therefore will flex and ride much better than the stock coil on the 5100 if you are running it on the highest setting."

    They just added two more items to the group buy. You can get the coilovers with the shocks for $539.99 (Stage 2) and the complete kit with all upper mounting hardware and a machined aluminum upper assembly (Stage 3). PM the guy who started the thread for the price of the Stage 3 setup (Neub).
