Ive read lots of threads on these forums about the tein lowering springs and it sounds like everyone is happy with them, Ive also read that the tein springs + kyb combination is pretty popular, but I dont exactly know what kyb products I need for this setup, can somebody help me out?

If you want to save cost on the intallation, I suggest you do your rears. Taking out the rear link is a snap if you're going to end up replacing them. All you have to do is remove the 1 hex head that's attached to the frame and you don't need to worry about the other one . The fronts gave me problems. There were 4 of us trying to unscrew the thing and it just wouldn't give. We took it to our friends friends shop and he torched the shock for me and installed the cartridges. Only charged $25 for both of them.  He said that he thinks Toyota sealed the shock housing with some sealant to prevent leaks, so that's why it was hard to unscrew. |
