1st Gen Aftermarket Coils? Field Tested

I need to buy new coil springs soon to pair with new bilstein 5100s. From your experience which would you recommend. Will be running an ARB bumper and possibly a 9k-12k winch shortly after installing new coilover setup. I`m trying to decide between OME 882, OME 883, or Toytec 112-620. Looking for 2.5-3" of lift. Suspension will be going on a 98 Tacoma ext cab 3.4l 4x4. Also installing the OME 250kgs leaf springs in the rear if that makes any difference. Thank you for the advice.

 

Nobody have any input with either springs with this same setup? Any input on the coil springs themselves?

 

Personally I'd go for the 883's. The 882's have a 500lb/in spring rate, while the 883's have a 590lb/in spring rate which will be better with your bumper and winch. I had the 880's on my truck and I liked them a lot. For the price, they were hard to beat.

I don't have any experience with the Toytec/Eibach coils, although most who have them say they ride pretty stiff (620lb/in spring rate), but since you have extra weight you'd probably be fine.

 

Thanks for the input. I think I`ll go with the 883`s

 

I'm pretty sure this as been discussed ad nauseam for many years. Do a search.
