Driver side versus Passenger side front coil heights
I bought a set of used coilovers on ebay.
can anyone confirm or deny that there's a difference in height between the driver side and passenger side?
thanks
1999 4runner sr5 v6

Coilovers are adjustable right? So...they are whatever height you set them to. Side specific springs are more of a rear suspension thing from what I've seen.

Yes, OEM springs are side specific in front, NOT in the rear. If you got the taller '99 OEM springs, here is the data:
Part Numbers:
Front right 48131-35400 L=368mm
Front left 48131-35350 L=374mm
Rears ( same for both ) 48231-35210
Color Codes:
Fronts: Blue/Pink(left) & Blue/Yellow (right)
Rears: Green/Red
In any case, the longer one goes on the driver side.

Now that you mention the color code thing, I 100% agree. My OME rear springs were also side specific, but stock rears arent', got confused.
