Looks like a great set up man, nice. We'll be working on buddy's 4Runner right after we finished installing the new shocks and 4 wheeler accessories on his TRX project. He is looking at Bilstein 5100 and I will show him your set up.

Highly encourage him to go with the Eibachs. They are holding up great and still very smooth!

I believe I saw something about a Eibach Coilover... is that a thing?

51mm OD, so basically 2".

Aren't they literally re-labeled 5100's?

Pretty sure these are made for them by bilstein. The new 6112 has an eibach coil so they have been working together recently. Some of the areas you mention could be different but i bet the insides are the same.


Hey Fellas,

We actually make them in house at our manufacturing plant in Corona, CA. We've been building our own shocks for years and are now jumping into the truck market.

If any of you are local and would like a quick tour, please let me know. Also, I can answer any additional questions you have.

I am a Toyota guy, too. On my 3rd Tundra currently.

As stated, they ride different and IMO better. The Finish is much nicer too. Not just a cheap sticker slapped on.

Good to know, they are just so similiar. My buddy got them on his. And i could swear up and down it was a shinier 5100.

Yes Eibach is releasing a 2.0" coilover this summer. They also just released a rear adjustable height system which allows you to pick the spring rate for the weight you have and dial in the ride height.
