OME Coils on 94

[Dylan]

I've searched through the forums and can't seem to find a definitive answer. I've got the notorious rear sag on my whip. I plan to install new shocks down the road, but if possible don't want to have to do them right now. To fix this, I'm looking at the OME HD coils.

My question is, will the 1" or even 2" require any other adjustments be made to my car if I replace them?

Not trying to get into a bunch of repairs/adjustments at this time, simply want to fix the sag. I've seen conflicting answers on this in other threads, and won't be surprised if I see some here as well. I'm going to go by whatever answer has the most support for it. Thanks gents

You will need to replace the shocks ASAP...and the front will need bj spacers or crank the torsions way up cause it'll sit ass high lol...

If you want to rid of the rear sag and no other major adjustments I'd go with coil spacers for now. I currently have them on my 4runner and it sits almost level and a lot better than just stock

I put Moog stock replacement coils on mine and it does sit a little high in the rear, but its not too bad. They might be a good option if you are just trying to fix sag. I think anything taller than stock height is going to result in having to make some changes to your suspension.

Here's what I did to fix the sag on our 1990 4runner:
-Moog 225 coil springs
-rebuilt all the rear and lateral control arms with urethane bushings
-factory shock
I also did the front suspension as well(including new sway-away torsion bars/ball joints). Toyota was having a recall on the center drag link, so they aligned the truck for free. You'll find each component in the rear suspension adds to the sag. Each time I replaced one element, the rear of the truck went up an increment. The rear coils and bushings were the biggest offenders. The front a-arm bushings can also distort the way the truck sits in relation to the torsion system. As they age, it allows the chassis to sag much more then the bar would normally allow(you see this after installing new bushings up front).

Can you give a ballpark on the total cost for all this? Also, did you find all the parts on a website? If so, which site(s)? Thanks

It has been awhile, the costs frankly are pretty minimal. It's all your DIY labor.
1) urethane bushings - Suspension Restoration Parts Co.
2) ball joints - autohausaz.com (go with the japan made stuff)
3) moog springs- were either rockauto.com or NAPA
4) shocks - dealer (I'd probably go with Bilstein if I had it to do over)
5) torsion bars- swayaway.com , I went with the lighter ones, race is way too stiff.
For some, the torsion bar upgrade might be too tight, but we love it for around town and highway use. The truck is far more stable and road worthy at speed. I found the suspension rebuild really transformed the way the truck handled hauling weight. Before, if loaded down, it was all over the road. Now you can't even notice the weight, or it makes the handling better(ie added weight in the rear). It is amazing how well it tracks on the highway. Before, it used to be quite a handful and you could feel the drivetrain slop on and off power. All of that is gone, much more refined and precise which was what we were looking for.
