Bilstein 5100

Ok guys I have a 2013 tacoma CC LB and I recently installed the bilstein 5100 set at 1.75 to take the place of a 2 inch spacer that I had previously installed. My complaint is the ride quality. I know a lot of ppl on here think the other way around but mine seemed to have ride better with stock struts with 2 inch spacer. If I replace the stock spring with the eibach, will it improve my ride more from where it is now? I will move the setting to .85 if I do this setup too.
Thanks

 

Yeah it should. The reason it is stiff now is because by raising the strut 1.75" it stretches the stock spring that much (also called preloading). Thats the way mine is and I actually like it for off road and commuting, but with aftermarket coils it should be a lot better.

 

Ok Justus how is it 3" with that setup? The eibach spring itself is 1.6 and then add .85 to it? Mine is a 2013....it's not a first gen taco.

 

Thanks northwesttaco....yeah I've heard of the preloading situation and I wanted input from someone that has experienced it vs just hearsay ya know lol

 

Well in that case don't trust me haha I have stock springs

 

Justus in my original post to start this thread I stated a have a 2013 Tacoma....not sure where your seeing that it's a 2003.

And the reason I asked is to get input on what to go with. It's a simple question and answer.

 

In on my phone too and I don't have my pic on the left lol that's why I was confused. Sorry man. Didn't know my info said 2003.

I understand your warning but I'm here asking cause I want opinions, not to be contradicted.

What kind of lift will I get with the OME 3" coils and what should I set my billies at??

 

good luck OP I hope u find the lift and ride u want.........

 

Ok I was on the mobile version is why I didn't see what you meant Justus. Again my bad. I corrected my info.

I'll check into the OME springs and go from there.
