I recently purchased a 2006 V8 Sport Edition (117k miles) and boy do I love this car. I am working on making it my own and my next plan is to replace the XREAS suspension with maybe an OME kit or Bilstein 5100/OME coils. Then get some 265/70/17 Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws on. And, I have the TRD Bronze wheels to go with them
. But, I wanted to hear some advice from you all.
I use the car 80-90% as a daily driver and the rest is exploring Colorado, doing some camping, forest roads, but nothing too crazy at that. Don't really need an ultimate rock-crawler, just something that will give me some additional clearance and a smoother ride. Let me know if you have any ideas for a better or more suitable set-up than what I am looking at.
I am in Denver, and was quoted:
$1,314.45 for 5100s & OME Coils install (parts+labor)
or...
$1,554.30 for an all OME kit
Thoughts on this pricing?
I was told that if I stick to a 2" lift, I will not have to replace the UCAs which is a considerable added expense. Is that accurate? Also, I believe my lower control arm bushings are bad so I think I will have to get those replaced with this job if that is correct?
