so i have the money to level and get pocket flares!!:party36:

my problem is which leveling option i should go with.

money saving wise option would be coil spacers from topguncustomz which dont require strut disassembly 2.5" for about $90

but i have the extra money so i was thinking of going with either the bilstein leveling shocks (which would require me to dissemble the strut) $315 (and has all 4 replacement shocks.

or the rancho quicklift loaded complete replacement struts. $350

i like the idea of the bilstien option having 4 new shocks, but i also like the idea of the ranchos being a complete replacement unit.

or get the spacers and use the extra money to buy other cool mods..

or get the 1.5" TGC spacer and the bilstiens!?!


any experience with any of these products?

i just cant make up my mind!!!:confused:

From what I read, sounds like the bilstien's are a great option, but know many have put spacers with no issues

I am going Bilstein's on my 4th Gen.

Go to their web page and check out the PDF they have. Outlines the good and bad with all the options.

i was thinking about matching but with my black rims and my soon to be tinted tails im leaning toward black. i also plan to black out my nerf bars and have been trying to decide what to do with my chrome bumpers.

For the bumpers try doing a vinyl wrap or color match paint them white. That would look sharp. If they went black I think it would look odd.
