OK so my Coilovers just came in today from All-Pro. I am super excited. Now I just need to find some time to install them. I know they arent that hard to install but they didnt come with any instructions. Their website talks about installing their control arms and only mentions like 1 sentence on these. Does anybody have good step-by-step instructions for these? I couldnt find anything in tech section. I printed off the DR instructions, so I guess I can just use these if nothing else?

Oh and one question. When they are lined up right next to each other the top eyeholes are facing the same way but the bottem ones are not, if you know what I mean. See pics to see what I mean. Is this a problem????

Heres everything I got

Alligned at top

Not aligned at bottem. Problem????

do these provide any lift, and if so how much?

<~ very jealous , cant wait to see the after pics.

Elkaholic

yes 0-3" adjustable. Thats the usual. Just depends on how stiff you want them. I dont know how much Im gonna get yet.

And ya I will def get pics once i find out everything I need to make sure the install goes fine

4runner99

if you don't mind me asking, can you give me a ballpark figure of how much they cost.

Elkaholic

Well long story short I had little $50 gift certificate through someone esle so they cost me $615 add that 50 and $665 shipped. Right now All-Pro has them on sale.

Ok so I finally had a chance to install my coilovers today. Took me 3 hrs to complete, and thats me with no previous suspension work or knowldege. The first one was a PITA but the second got in alot easier. Some of the bolts are ridiculous to try to tighten but I got 'em. With the coils threaded all the way out to the bottem it gave me right at 2" so I have plenty of room to play but due to intense cv angles dont think Ill be goin higher yet. I havent gotten to try them off road yet, hopefully tomorrow.

Well I just wanted to give you guys some pics to look at.

Knuckles

are you selling the factory coil overs and springs by any chance?

Elkaholic

Matt,

I was keeping them for now but if I dont see a need for them within the next week or so Ill give you a holla.

jjrgr21: not sure how close they are to toytecs

And heres the before/after with tires, not the best but you can see the difference

Looks like your "coilovers" are on upside down. Continuing to run your shocks upside down will prematurely wear out your shocks. You should also crank them down until a bit of thread is exposed above to make sure you have the collar firmly on the threads.

Knuckles

thanks elkaholic.

dont look upside down to me...

Mikronized

he's talking about the shock itself.... most of the time you mount it can up

*edit* hmm... allpro's website shows it with the mounting plate the way Elkaholic has it.

Elkaholic

Even if these are upside down. Like Mikronized said they are the same as the website but if they are wrong how much difference will it make before the shocks are shot? Are they gonna wear out like a whole lot faster or just a tad bit?

alexe

there not upside down
