Taco PRO Owners: Interested in a spring upgrade for front?

I wouldn't get too excited. They sold them to me back in May

 

As in you've been waiting, or you received them in May? If the former, your wait time may not reflect my wait time considering the several months that have passed. The invoice has an ETA of 4/26, but the guy told me this year is more likely. If the latter, is that your way of warning us that they suck?

 

I'm saying they allowed me to order back in May. No I have not received them

 

I'm actually not surprised by that because you generally can order things that are backordered, but the dude Tanner gave me hope. I probably wouldn't have pulled the trigger if they were charging my card before having them in stock. Also, you got a better deal!

 

Tanner is good, I talked to him when I was ordering because the blocks were rumored to be on back order, he got my order to me within like 3 days. But im on 2017 pro suspension.

 

Oh, for sure.

 

@RTweet thanks again.

Called, spoke to Tanner, ordered front springs only for my 2021 (Item #E30-82-069-03-20 - $198.00) to pair with Deaver U402. He says hi and thanks for the referral. Whole thing took less than 5 minutes.

Also key point you made above to highlight for interested readers: unlike most other backordered/lead time upgrades we order, often from smaller shops, Eibach does not charge until the order ships.

At least there is an ETA (April 2022).

 

Geez, "only" took 3 months to get my ADS shocks (they just shipped this week). Glad I bailed on these springs.

 

Welp, looks like im going to be replacing my needle bearings soon. I get a rhythmic vibration at low speeds that goes away when I put it in 4wd.

 

Glad you found something that works for you. Keep us posted on how you like them, total cost, install time, etc. Always interested in learning about the details of other setups.

 

This was shortly after you installed the eibach springs I am assuming? Is this a common problem?

 

Super common to get this vibe after a lift. If you get it and it quits when you engage 4wd it's the needle bearing.

 

Yeah, tacomas with a lift get this issue. Doesnt matter what brand of lift you get, the needle bearing can fail.

 

Got CMR done today. Initially ordered westcott kit and never installed it.. installed the eibach springs and icon rear AAL instead. With my bumpers and winch, lights, battery.. i was probably barely squeezing 2 inches of lift?

Installed the westcott preload spacer today and used the eibach spring as well.

But i did that to fit 35's.. here's the outcome..

 

So is there a consensus yet which is better between the Wescott vs the Eibach springs?

Which one is better for on road vs off-road performance and why?

 

I'm probably going with the Wescott lift. I think it's more reliable than waiting around for Eibach springs. They've been stringing a lot of people along for a long time. First it was a particular year that the springs were going to be ready. As it turned it was completely wrong and the older model year PRO springs were ready first. Big NO for me on Eibach.

 

Thanks for the likes @mark@eibach, but what's the word??

 

Freight has been stuck at the port since September. We can see it! Just can't get to it. We are still making efforts to get these on the shelves before the holiday. They have been prioritized to the top of the list.

Part of what makes our product so damn good is quality of raw materials. We have built long standing relationships with a very select group of wire providers who pass all of our requirements and protocols to ensure quality. We will not sacrifice the integrity of our product in an effort to shotgun parts on the shelves, so with that, I thank those who continue to be patient and those who have supported us through this uncharacteristically long-winded process.

 

Understandable and I appreciate the QI. Maybe get your masterful group of engineers together to devise a way to get the freight unstuck?
