Hey Ben, I got my 5100s from Bilstein Canada (they're called Essex Distributors?) http://www.bilsteincanada.com/

For the coils I got OME 885s from Cochrane Toyota in Alberta, they shipped to me in Ontario. (also bought the LR upper control arms at the same time from them) this gives some lift so you dont have to preload the 5100s to get lift

unfortunately Bilstein Canada doesnt sell any coils for us I don't think, only the shocks. Hope that helps

I also ordered from Essex, they were fast. I ordered the 1/4" spacer for Taco lean from Cochrane toyota as well, again friendly and fast.

I should have added that Essex ships from Vancouver so you will get your shocks in whistler in a day or two.

I ordered from Essex in the past, however national 4wd had a shock sale on Bilsteins a few months ago (it might still be on) and I got all (4) 5100's for $438 shipped, taxes included.

That seems pricey. Is that with coils?

That's probably canadian doll hairs, which equates to 330 USD.

That's a steal. Essex distributes would have been $665 after sales tax where I live.

Bah! I just always assume everybody lives in the U.S and there is nothing outside of it

We're use to it. Lol

When I shop online and see American prices and free shipping I think of how much more I could do to my Tacoma! Things like trd wheels are next to impossible as shipping kills the price!
