    I think for the money, 6112/5160 combo is impossible to beat. I have this on order although the 6112’s are on national backorder

    I was torn on this kit and the stage 2 Fox kit. After lots of research I knew the Bilstein kit would more than fill my needs and is over $500 less expensive.

    Believe it or not, I asked toytec the same question. Unfortunately they didn't bother to answer...
    I think their fully height adjustable 2.5 coil overs are very appealing. Not sure if worth the extra $ or not...
