Help with Bilstein 5100's

I understand the 5100's/eibach coil setup, and I'm sure this has been asked many times, but My only questions are what do the bilsteins in the front have to be set at to achieve a 3" lift? and what do I need lift wise in the back? and will I need extended rear break lines? Just to clarify, I will be using the 620 lb eibachs.

 

Set them at 0'' lift. They advertise that it's not safe to run them at any other setting. That puts you at 3'' in the front.

Do you want your rear higher than the front? Or about the same? If you want to sit "bro" then you've come to the wrong place, i'm affraid.

My opinion is to lift with new springs in the rear, but hey, money is money.

 

Check these build threads out. They are great guys. Just read through them, and yours should be about the same.

^ Thanks man!

 

Definitely no "bro lean". So would a 2.5" AAL be enough for the rear?

 

Sure thing man.

Fernando has a 2'' AAL. I think a 2.5'' rear lift would look nice as well.

 

Who's a good brand for an AAL, and are they fairly easy to install?

 

just get the toytec lift kit if u plan on getting 5100/eibach and lifting rear at same time.

 

Yeah, AAL are pretty easy to install.

Just get the AAL that comes with the 5100's from toytec. Extended brake line are a nice "just in case"
