Bilstein 5100 / TOYTEC 112620 combo

[96706RROMJP]

Need some advice, my plans are setting Bilstein 5100 fronts to .85 and adding Toytecs 112-620 coils, will this give me a lift over 2.5? Im trying to accomplish a 2.5 lift. Im trying to not preload my bilsteins to max settings. Im trying to stick with stock UCAs for now. Should i just adjust the bilsteins to 2.5 or go with bilstein [email protected] & add Toytec 112620s? Any recommendations?

I am installing the same setup this weekend. I have the same springs and I will be setting it on .85. From what I have researched it will give you about a 3" lift. I will let you know how much lift I get once I install them.

Are you replacing UCAs? What will your rear lift be? Im adding daystar 1.5 rear spacers.

Are you replacing UCAs?

Yes I am adding Light Racing UCA. I figured since Im gutting the suspension anyways might as well install the UCAs too.

Im not planning on replacing UCAs..not just yet. Do you think ill have problems?

I have the bilsteins set at 0. The toytec springs will give about a 2.5in lift. I added the toytec 1/2in spacer to get to 3. The shop told me it's better than bumping the bilsteins up because it would make it bouncier. I also added the camburg uca.which you would probably need for anything over 2.5. I added the toytec 2" superflex in the rear. It is pretty much leveled. If you don't add the spacer in the front, I would probably get the SAW 1.5 or day star 1.5 to get leveled or else you will get a rake in the front.

Just from reading the information on this forum it does not look like you will have problems since you are not going over 3"

Yeah they had to different toytec front springs. I opted to go with the 112-620, so ill be using the 2nd notch. I also went with the superflex for the rears. I just hoe it doesn't give the rake in the front. But with the amount of research I've done it should be good. Well see how it goes and see if this will look good and ride good as well. If not, gonna change the whole set up lol

Im hoping the daystar 1.5 rears will be close to leveled. Do you think it will be preety close. Same for me if it doesnt work out....Toytec 112620 will be for sale..lol..ill just stick with setting the bilsteins at 2.5..thats if it doesnt work out.

Once I complete the install Ill take a photo that way you can determine if you like the stance or not. Ill let the springs settle in a bit and see where it sits. If I like it ill keep it, if not Im gonna switch it out and go even more broke lol. My credit cards are waiting for me lol

I've got a feeling you were swindled by an old fashioned salesman into buying that toytec spacer. The Bilstein 5100s are made specifically to raise/level the front. I see no way at all that they would make the ride anymore bouncy than a spacer.

Thanks bro, ill appreciate that! My concern is the diffrence you have 2" coils and i got 1.5 spacers for the rears. So i beleive your set up will be closer to level than my set up.

I feel you bro, especially when you have been searching for a lift and which way you want top go, you want to make sure its what you envisioned it to be. But definitely Ill let you know how it turns out.

It actually came with the toytec kit that I got. It was more work to install since you have to press out the stock studs versus changing the c-clip on the struts so I don't think I was swindled into buying anything. This is from the install shop and he didn't charge more orless from the install. It does make sense to me though because on my 4thgen I maxed out the bilsteins to 2.5 with FJ springs versus my 5th gen. It feels a lot stiffer with the setting at 0 with toytec springs.

I finally got to install the springs. I did the install all by myself and man it was tough doing it alone. I'm really happy how it turned out and looks the way I hoped it to be. Here's a photo. I used the superflex in the rear and the toytec/eibach in the front with the 2nd notch on the bilstein. Looking forward to seeing how yours turn out.
