Nice! Glad to see they are on the market.
The grammar nazi in me is saying this, but you might want to fix this line in the first paragraph. " Long handled TIG welded spanner wrenches are including for easy adjustment." I think you meant "included."

That's pretty sweet. What would you say is the difference between these and the original toytec coilovers?

Running these on my new '00 and they ride great! Went with the 550# springs. Highly recommend them!

The main difference is the front shock itself. We have run the Bilsteins for many miles both on road and off road and they are a great setup. However, we felt that the valving could be improved to help with additional weight handling. By tweaking the valving, we were able to get them to provide much more control over bumpy terrain and still give a really nice ride. Also, the shock shaft has been bumped to 5/8's for some additional strength and the gas pressure raised a bit to help reduce shock fade. Before we ship them, every shock is thrown on the shock dyno and tested to make sure that everything is built exactly to spec.

Are the shocks still Bilstein 5100, just re-valved for the 4Runner?

They're marked as Out of Stock on the site - any ETA for when they'll be back in?
