Budget replacement Springs

I'm looking for some replacement springs for my 96 4runner. My dad put 200k on the originals before handing it down to me. Not to mention many other parts i've had to replace.

Being a college student I can't afford OEM. So far i'm set on these Raybestos from Rockauto, both front and rear. http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=1596474

Anyone have opinions? or maybe a better suggestion?

No idea on the raybestos springs, but I bought the moog springs for the rear of my 99 and so far they seem good.

Think about some stock LC coils. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-ge...r-codes-6.html post #88 has a good list. It looks like 7.5 wraps are the shortest. They will still give you lift, probably 2.5"-3" of lift. Stock 4runner coils have a spring rate of 160# and the LC coils are 170#.
You may be able to find some Old Man Emu coils used too. I actually have some OME 891 and some LC 9.25 wrap coils that I need to sell.

I put Raybestos heavy duty variable rate springs in my 90, they work great. Won't lift it up higher than original, and support a lot of weight without sagging. Go for it.

Couldn't find any feedback on springs like this either. Found some moog coils on amazon for $48 or something a couple of weeks ago.
