Post SAW coilover photos for 03+ 4runner / 05 Taco

Just got some information from Sway A Way regarding their coilovers and they are proud to announce their new coilovers for the 03+ 4runner (non xreas models only) and 05+ tacoma. They come in two diferent flavors: a 2.0" and a 2.5" Diameter coilover.

Coil specifications:
2.0" coilovers has the 675# coils.
2.5" coilovers has the 650# coils.

The 2.0's are geared more for individuals who is looking for a good street ride and can handle moderate offroad while the 2.5" will be awesome for the hardcore individuals who likes to bomb whopps and push the suspension to the limits.

03+ 4runner / 05+ Tacoma 2.0" Diameter Coilover (includes Spanner Wrench)
Part Number: 52000-108-11
MSRP $749.99
(first image, left coilover)

03+ 4runner / 05+ Tacoma 2.5" Diameter Coilover (includes Spanner Wrench and Stock Replacement Swaybar)
Part Number: 52000-108-20
MSRP $949.99
(first image, right coilover, 2nd and 3rd image)

If you are interested in purchasing these coilovers, please visit Camburg or contact your local offroad shop for more information.

As soon as my set arrives, I'll take some photos and do a quick write up on their product Until then, just enjoy these photos I got from them!

yup. I have mine and they're so pretty I almost don't want to put them on. But I will!

I bought the 2.0 instead of the 2.5 due to pricing, as well as the fact that for my uses, the 2.0 is far more cost effective and fitting.

Awesome product, and I'll definitely report more after I've driven with them on for a bit.

p.s. -- if you contact Camburg about these, be CERTAIN to give them the EXACT part number, as the product is new enough that they're still a bit confused and sending out the wrong parts (ones that won't fit because they're for the Tundra or Taco or older 4Runner which didn't require the extra bit of extension between the coilover and the lower eyelet.

also, the guys at http://www.wheelersoffroad.com sell the SAW coilovers as well, and one of the main guys over there has a 4th gen. so he knows which part numbers to send and is far more on top of things than some other places I spoke/dealt with.

What's the spring info (pound per inch)? Are these soft enough for offroading, or are they more of a pre-runner type shock?

I'd say they're pretty good for offroading ... but Lance knows far more about them than I do.

thanks for the updated information for the new products. looking forward to both of your reviews once you test them out on your rigs.

dumb question:
what is the main difference between the 2" and 2.5" diameter shock bodies? any difference in ride and spring rate on the coils?

Just curious why the spanner collar is on the top and pushes the spring down, instead of on the bottom and pushes up like the 3rd gen's?

less unsprung weight? Or maybe b/c it's really tight at the bottom a-arm area so it couldnt fit? didn't realize it was different on the 3rd gen but good observation tho

Possibly so that it can be accessed without taking the tire off, unlike the third gens?

so, the players for 4th gen true suspension lifts are:
1. Downey
2. SAW
3. Donahoe

is that right? SAW didn't, by chance, design a quick disconnect into their sway bar, did they?

nope, they didn't. but with the 2.0s, you can still use your stock sway bar. with the 2.5s in the SAW and the Donahoes, the stock bar won't work -- SAW provides the sway bar with the 2.5s, but Donahoe doesn't ...

If the 3rd Gen SAW's "would have had" 2.5" coils, I would not have been disapointed.

This is the entire reason I went back to stock 2.5" coils. Lower spring rates with larger coils.

That really does not matter anymore.

I dont know if the Donahoes require the different Swaybar for the 2.5" coil-over. They haven't stated anything to that effect and one guy is already getting them installed, so I guess we will know for sure very shortly.
