High quality - shocks, struts and suspension

Made in Germany, very high quality, if they were fitted to me by a mechanic on my Tacoma 4x4 truck the coilover springs would need to be removed and compressed Install struts, mine Not an easy do-it-yourself job in my opinion

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No performance

Best Value 2007 4Runner

I bought these for my 2007 Toyota 4Runner Sport Edition V8 2WD. Very easy installation, direct installation without any problems. Just make sure you lower the A-arm from the front so it's easier to take the old one out and put the new one in.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Available in black only

Fits 2010 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport

This is an OEM replacement for Tacoma TRD Sport. My OEM had 130k on them and was doing some front work so I replaced them at the same time. Drive like new. Cheaper than any parts store or other online shop I could find.

Pros
  • One Year Trial
Cons
  • Some Defects

Perfect fit for my 2008 Tacoma

Great quality. Better OEM. If you've read the Tacoma forums, this is the shock that everyone recommends for a heavy truck. And while you have the strut apart, I highly recommend replacing the strut mounts with new KYBs.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Almost everything ok

Very good shock absorbers and fast delivery

I've always used Bilstein on my Tacoma and they always fit perfectly. I had to pay for the assembly of the front struts in the shop. I don't need any tools to do it myself. Except. This is a good time to align. Rear shocks are a great option for a driveway mount.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Big shocks. Earlier in stock Bilstein

Great hits. Before them there was a stock Bilstein, but to carry heavier loads required a stiffer shock absorber. Best of all I noticed minimal harsh ride but much more stability. These hits were much stronger than the standard hits I had. The truck drives great.

Pros
  • Top marks from testers for grip and durability
Cons
  • Quality

MISSING PARTS in Spare Parts

Like new means no parts. Both shocks were new but only included the top bolt and lower coil plate. Everything else was missing. No socket, no socket. Basically they had to be installed with an old bushing in order to assemble the truck and actually drive it. May God have mercy on her soul.

Pros
  • Easy Installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
