to coil or not

i know, another thread on suspension. i have spent the last 3 weeks, spending hours of reading of everyones set up and threads. i know what i want but just stuck on this one thing. i wanted saws 2.0 but read alot of people have rust issues and a squeeking noises. i only wanna lift the front about .85 to maybe a little over an inch. i know i can get billies 5100 all around which is what i plan on doing. now heres where i dont know what to do, since im only lifting about an inch i know i can use my stock trd coils with the new 5100s and set them. but the thing is that my suspension is going on 3 years old and if im gonna change suspension mine as well do everything. i know the ome coils are for heavier loads but i dont plan on adding a massive bumper to the front. now should just get toytecs c/o kit which is pre set at 2.5, if i lower it how much of the ride will suffer? or am i better off just getting the 5100s and some how find brand new trd coils which i cant find anywhere? thanks for reading yet another suspension thread, all suggestions welcome

 

I don't think the age of the front springs matter really. Just get the shocks and throw them on there!

 

hmmm i could use that extra money for UCAS

 

You could.



Just slap the Billies on there. I love the ride.



Set them at 1.75 though. Just a suggestion.

 

yea i was thinkin bout 1.75 but i dont have the TSB done nor an AAL in the rear. dont want the nose to stick up to much, u got the stock springs with ur billies?

 

I have the TSB. Here it is with them at 1.75. The back is still a tiny bit higher.

 

derek youre not going to put them at 2.5?

 

xall - no need for coils in your situation... you'll be happy with the Billys...

 

niice thanks guys. now just gotta save up for those ucas

 

Saws knows this issue and has addressed it and stands by there product but cant go wrong with billys

 

Im just thinking since i only hit the trails like twice a month, do i really wanna sacrifice my Daily driving on-road. and alot of people forget to add that c/o is a maintenance job. im gonna have to get those saws re juiced every couple years

 

i have a question reguarding this but for the 5100 coilovers from toytec, since they are maint. free shocks do their coilovers need any maint.?

 

the shock in the toytec which is 5100 shock goes out you would have to buy a new shock for if you had a fox, icon, saws they are rebuildable bigger advantage.

 

and Chris to the rescue!

 

Yes I am! Eventually.

 

hey,
just wanted to correct, if you purchase a 5100 bilstein shock from toytec lifts and it leaks, you send it back to us and we will replace it with a new one!

 

I stand corrected i know bilstein has a lifetime warranty but was hearing different things on part numbers, good to know you will swap them out.
