RCX 4" Spacer Lift.. Add Fox 2.0's? (Full front end rebuild)

[crazykid1994]

Fine, yes, but would it actually be notably better?!

In my opinion the bilstein ride better than stock. Albeit stiffer when set with max preload which is why I bought the eibach springs and installed them on my bilstein which softened the ride up some but still feels a lot less spongey and more controlled than stock. If you are just going for on road driving or mild off-roading eibach or bilstein would be fine to stack as they are stock length just use preload to gain lift and will not mess with the suspension geometry. If you are leaning to more off-road I would suggest 6112 or fox 2.0 or 2.5 depending on budget with 2.5 being what I’ll be swapping my fronts too. I debated 2.0 for the price point but I don’t think it would be enough of a justification to pull my bilsteins for fox 2.0. I was going to go the 6112 route but had some personal issues with bilstein that is pushing me towards fox.

I'm intrigued by the softer springs!! Does bilstein sell that as a combo or do you have a part number for the springs?

Thanks for your input!

No a Bilstein 5100 is considered an OEM replacement. If you want to upgrade reach out to @Nick@GotExhaust for options and pricing

Like quick stated, just talked to Nick. He can get you set. He sells eibach and bilstein or fox. The springs are eibach which is not offered together but nick can definitely help you out.

I can't imagine anything riding much better than my front Fox 2.5 shocks.

Could not be happier.

Very true the full length Fox married with performance 2.0’s in the rear are pretty hard to beat.

What makes the full length better than the stock length with spacers

Could anyone tell me which Brand of CV axles are the best. Or what’s the difference in them. I have to replace both the front Right and Left side.
Thanks
