Bilstein vs OME

[Rishi3]

I was thinking of getting the below lift or OME. They are the same price but I am not as familiar with this Bilstein setup.

Anyone who has this lift, what are your thoughts? Pics would be great too.

I have an 07 sport with 140k on it.

They are both great kits and Toytec is a great company to work with.
Billstein kit will give you a softer ride and adjustability prior to install.
OME will give you stiffer ride and no adjustability.

I think Billstein makes a great shock and Toytec makes great springs.

I believe OME makes a more durable/better shock and is is paired with their springs.

You won't go wrong with either.
Stiffer and no adjustment - OME
Softer with some pre install adjustment-Toytec Billstein.

I've run both and they are both good options.

Switched from the bilstiens to OME. Like [MENTION=135766]Powder_Hound[/MENTION] said, ride is stiffer with the OME. I opted to go with OEM over the bilstiens because I planned to spend more time offroad and wanted the sturdier shock.

If you anticipate more time off road, I would get the OMEs. I've seen a couple complaints about bilstiens breaking (Largely isolated complaints, mostly from people running significantly oversized tires and abusing them...) Either are both excellent options.

I debated for months between these two lifts. I wanted o keep cost down. However, I was finally convinced by a few close friends that had FOX to go with their stuff. I spent much more than I wanted but I am extremely happy! More pics to come when I get a few more things done.
