Suspension/Lift Group Buy Feeler/Info
* updated 6/8/2015 *
Toytec GB upcoming!!  Stay tuned!!
This is NOT a group buy thread (once I figure it out and get some initial interest from both members and vendors; I will open an official GB thread in the for sale section).
This is merely a discussion and trying to get some leads from you guys, what are the brands and products that you guys may be interested to see in a group buy. Many of you probably already have suspension/lift, so maybe, maybe for a GB, some less specialized, more popular for newbie stuff are more appropriate.
I don't know much about suspensions, so I don't even know where to start....
Bilstein?
Icon?
Toytec?
OME?
Fox?
King?
Also, please send me some idea as to who are the good "dealers/distributors" that I may want to go talk to.
(should i ping the 4th gen guys too?)

DSM "Down South Motorsports" are amazing to work with. I bought my Fox mid travel suspension through them for my Tacoma 4 years back & I recently just purchased my new Fox CO's & Rear Shocks for my 4runner. They are pretty big on Tacomaworld.com with plenty of happy customers.

I'd be in on a GB for a ToyTec BOSS suspension in a heart beat!

Yes you should ping us you silly bastard. I'd be in for some different shocks. I know I can speak for OME coils and tell you that they're awesome. I read a lot of people's concerns about the stiffness of the mediums and the heavy duty ones and can say that they're not as bad as people think.

OME please!!! Preferably through Toytec. They have the best coilover assembly price I've seen. I'd prefer to order my front struts and coils preassembled.
