Coil Springs: Peformance Parts vs SAW

Andrey · 06-15-2003, 02:24 PM

Currently my '01 4Runner SR5 Sport has stock shocks and coils and rides pretty well in my opinion. However, when I tow something or load it up, the rear seems to sag a bit.

As my first serious mod I would like to replace all of my 4 coils springs, especially if it will help my 4Runner to stay level. I mostly drive on the highways, so I wouldn't want a very stiff coils where I would feel every bump and every stone on the road. I definitely don't expect a Lexus-ride quality, but something very close would be very nice. And if at the same time new coils could resolve the sagging issue, that'll be the perfect solution for me. Also, 1" or 2" of lift would be good, since I'm going to upgrade to 265/75R16 tires down the road.

In my ongoing search for different options, I came up with two brands which might work for me, Performance Parts 1" Lift Springs or Sway-A-Way springs (set of 4). I'm not exactly sure which part number of SAW I should get for the most comfortable ride though.

So, which would give the best ride for my current needs, PP or SAW? Or maybe there is some other brand or mods should I consider?

Thanks in advance,
--Andrey

I didn't know Sway-A-Way made rear springs for the 3rd gen.

PP coils has front/rear coils, but SAW sells front coilovers and rear spacers only.

Thanks for the info, I didn't know SAW didn't make rear springs for 3rd gen! So I guess going with PP is the best option for me than, right?
