On my 98 'teg, I was figurin' I was gunna do me some heavy duty suspension swappin'. Right now, it's stock. I've been checking around the forums and at carreview.com and the Koni yellows seem to be the shizat. And, I've heard that Eibach's pro-kit springs work well with the yellows. I'm going for better handling, but not so much the pimpin-ghetto-superfly look (if ya know what I'm getting at). FYI: Auto-X may be in my future, hard street driving is in my present. If ya don't mind as well, hook me up with some sites where the prices aren't an arm and a leg.

 

I had Eibach Sportlines on my ride and hated them, cause the rear appeared to be lower than the front (although they werent, the rear wheel well is just more shallow than the front).

I've heard some sagging issues with ProKit's too, although I kind of doubt them because I've always seen Eibach's on tons of other kits and they work fine.

I opted to go with a Ground Control Coilover Setup with Koni Yellows (oddly enough, the coil overs use eibach springs too).

Right now the ride is comfy, not bumpy and not too stiff.. and with it being properly corner balanced I could autox nicely.

 

AutoX'ing...that entails good spring rates. Eibachs around around 331f / 275r (don't quote me)...find something with better spring rates. Get an ITR rear sway bar and you can just kick the ass around thru turns.

 

Well, if not the Eibachs, what would be a good spring set? Some nice quality ones would be nice. Comfy ride is considered, but handling is #1!!

 

my skunk2 coilover sleeves have a spring rate of 500 lb/in in the front, and 400 lb/in in the rear. they aren't installed yet til this saturday - i'll let you know tho when i do!

 

How are the streets where you live? H&R makes some nice stuff, the OEM sports are progressive give you about 0.75-1.0 inch drop, get the KYB AGX's and you can adjust your shocks. Before slammin' too low, drive or at least ride in a car set to the height you like. Leave a note on the windshield or chat up the driver if you are willing. If the streets are not toooo hot, like in Sacto, real low could equal trouble.:doh: muy brother cracked a mount on the rear axle of his 4runner right around the corner

 

Well, I live in a suburban area south of Raleigh, NC. So the roads really aren't that bad. We have potholes like everyone else, but the suburbian couples complain to the city and they get fixed right quick :thumbup:.

 

i had eibach sportlines on my teg, i like the way they looked, but they didn't seem to be quite stiff enough. i'm curious to know how the skunk2 coilovers work.

 

i'll let you ALL know this saturday when i install them with my Tokico Blues! god i'm so damn happy! this is the cure for my 2-week depression!

add sway bars to your setup
