Tell me why I shouldn't do it!
Assembled Coilovers from Toytec. $300
Bilstein 5100 Series Height-Adjustable shocks
OME (Old Man Emu) 881 coil springs
Half-inch aluminum top spacers
Good deal?
Planning on running these with LC 7.5/8 wraps.
I'm pretty frugal with my money. Just want to make sure this is worth it

I've read that the Tacoma shocks are supposedly valved too soft for the 4runner.

Hmm, haven't heard that before. I know toytech sells the coilover kit for 95.5-04 Tacos and 96-02 4Runners. So I don't think this would be a problem. Hopefully someone else will chime in on this issue.

$300, hell that sounds like a great buy. I'd go for it for sure. Tacos and 4runners have largely the same amount of weight on the FRONT tires AFAIK, so why would they have seriously differant front ends? I really don't think that there would be a problema t all..

Those aren't height-adjustable, just FYI. May be a bargaining chip...

I looked up the part number, looks like they are listed as adjustable.
Am I being duped?
I'm hoping to take a look at these this weekend. What should I look for on the shocks to make sure they are adjustable?
Thanks for looking out LINY

Those are indeed adjustable. It looks good to me however we never recommend running OME coils on Bilstein shocks. they are not designed/valved to work together. It might work but i think it would be a little bouncy. You would be better off swapping out that coil for a progressive rate coil like the ToyTec/Eibach coil. And yes those are the Tacoma shocks but they do work just fine on the 4Runner.

I'm running the Tundra adjustables with Tundra TRD coils and I love it, my front setup didn't cost much more than $300. I would wait unless you know someone who rides those taco bilies and you like the way it rides.

the DAMPENING is adjustable, not the HEIGHT

Those are the height adjustable ones, just put on mine. You have to disassemble the entire strut to change out the height but they are adjustable. As for the OME coils with those shocks, no thanks. I just put on those same shocks with Toytec/Eibach coils and its a beautiful combo, check out my build thread to see what it looks like.

Yeah been looking for some TRD coilovers haven't been able to come across any. I found these and was wondering if these would work out well.

Hmm looks like I might just hold out then till I can find some TRD coilovers or something along those lines.
I'll keep my eyes peeled

No the HEIGHT is adjustable, they have 3 rings that allow you to adjust the position of the collar up or down.
