Bilstein 5100 Spring preferences???

[tjhaf2007]

So I just picked up a 2007 4wd limited. my plan is to swap the suspensions from my 2003 sr5 to the 2007. i love the ride of my limited right now, i was wondering if anybody prefers toytec/eibach and superflex springs over 885 and 895 ome springs. the 03 is kinda stiff, i dont want a stiff limited, i was told that the toytecs are a better match with the bilseins because the toytecs arent as stiff as the ome springs. i know the 885 coils are for the v8, i dont have any preload on them so they end up being set at the same hight as the 884 would be. and what is the difference between the Toytec/Eibach 112620 front lift coils and the 521600 Toytec Front coils -(standard/light duty)?? the eibachs come in the whole "3in LIFT W/ BILSTEIN 5100 FRONT COILOVERS FOR 03-09 4RUNNER" kit. i already have the bilsteins, i just need the springs, top plates, and diff drop kit. so i thought that i would get the "3in FJ LIFT W/ FRONT & REAR COILS" plus the diff drop kit add-on. but i noticed that the toytec/eibach 112620 only came in the "complete" kit, the 521600 toytec front coils are what come in the "spings only" kit. what the difference?

I ordered a pair of 521600 toytec springs and 5100's today. the description on their website is wrong. they are rated at 600lbs and provide 2.5" of lift. The 112620 are 620lbs and provide 1.5" of lift. Im assuming the 521600 are longer.

here is toytec 521600 front springs (2.5") on the SECOND notch of bilsteins 5100. so between 3"-3.5" of lift up front. the ride is very nice. have all pro 3.5" rear springs and pro comps schocks on back.

I used new Moog V8 springs with the 5100's on my 2006 T4R V6. It gave me 2.25" lift in the front on the 0.85 setting and 0.5" in the rear. Love the ride.

That's one sick looking 5th Gen! I love the new bumper they put on the front of those. Will make it hard for aftermarket steel I'm sure, but they look so aggressive I really love them. :guitar2:
