Affordable Progressive Suspension?

[mscot]

Is there a company that makes a good and affordable progressive suspension? Something in the price range of the Eibach or Bilstein 6112s?

I can't afford Kings and the like, but I really hate my Eibachs and how they work with the KDSS (too stiff).

TIA

fox makes some OEM style 2.0 shocks and struts. reuse front coils and upper hardware. rear shocks are basic 2.0 shocks. theyre going to be stiffer as theyre performance oriented. if you want soft, go with a twin tube from dobinsons.

Dobinson IMS is still the best bang for your buck on the market.

Also, get yourself a DR.KDSS switch. I'd honestly get that before switching out the suspension. It makes a *HUGE* difference, especially on wash-board roads.

Thanks. The Dobinsons look reasonable. I wasn't aware that they're lower end shocks (GS) are progressive.
I wonder if I could use my Eibach springs. They've got less than 15k miles on them.

Just so we're on the same page, what do you mean when you say progressive shocks / progressive suspension?

dampening

There are three types of dampening Digressive, Linear, Progressive.
Most of the lower-mid range brands are Digressive which means they ride rough - Bilstein, Eibach, Toytech for example.

Personally, I think the Eibachs are straight garbage on a 4Runner. I don't think they tested them IRW conditions at all.
