Up to $319 for 3rd gen arms :shocked: I have a hard time paying for these at $319 when I know they were just $220 a month or so ago.

Have there been any reports of failures on these? Other threads are full of china-bashing and fear mongering, but no actual fialures because no one tried them. This is a pretty simple product, if they used reasonable steel and good welds it should be solid. I guess I'm looking for any definitive...

Aside from converting bushings to uniballs and letting you reset the axle angle, are there any other benefits?

Any idea how the damping compares to the 5100?

My buddy and I finished water pump/timing belts on our 4Runners at 5:30am this morning. Started at 8:30am yeasterday...

Conclusions TCMach?

I sure hope those are better TCMach. A bit of a different price range than the SS kit...

Can anyone compare the damping of the above mentioned shocks and the Bilstein 5100s in the Sonoran Steel 7.2 kit? The 5100s feel quite underdamped rebound-wise too me. Sorry, I don't have numbers.

Got it, thanks!

I was informed by multiple brake pad material classes (industry, not lame parts store "classes" ) that the term Ceramic is a grossly misued term. Unless you are talking about HIGH dollar carbon-ceramic brakes found in super cars, then "ceramic" is just a marketing term for an organic...

Nice info. Any idea what the LC Tokico's are?

Even with the trip packers? I haven't had an issue with the 5100 and I was under the impression that they are similar extended length to the LC shocks.

Which LC shocks are you using? I ended up going with a SS 7.2 Kit (OME 890/5100) for the rear, but it feels way underdamped for how light I usually run. It is so floaty it is almost nauseating. Like riding on a rubber cloud. I remember Sonoran Steel used to offer their 1.2a kit with the Tokico...

That is a sweet idea!

Be careful with those Raybestos inner tie rod ends. I put on the same (555 brand), and they seem to be loose already. I've heard people have issues with non-OE as they don't have as much travel in the joint. If the wheel goes to full droop hard, it can stretch them out. I believe that is what...
