bilstein shocks
 

can someone guide me to a place to get bilstein shocks for a good price?? I don't do any off road driving and I basically need just regular driving on pavement shocks....any suggestions on shocks for my 97? thanx :guitar:

I got my bilsteins from http://www.scionpartsusa.com/detail....mance%20shocks

They are reallly cheap there. However i think u have to wait for them. I got mine for 185 shipped to my house for all 4. warning, they are very stiff.

Don't buy them though a dealership those are the TRD cheap one's. Get the real bilstein's the tube's on the shocks are a lot thicker much better shock. I put a set on my 97 it made it a completly different truck, it handled much better.

I put Bilsteins on a 90 4WD Toyota truck and they were a bit stiff but when I put them on my 97 runner I don't think they were stiff at all. Just better handling.

It got rid of the body roll that's for shure. This when I found out that Bilstein made two different shock's one for the dealership and there aftermarket ones.

i will check this shocks for sure then., thanx for the advice.

The cheapest ive found has been at www.shox.com I think they are like 59.99 for the heavy duty shocks.

So did I! Those are the regular Heavy Duty Bilsteins (4WD is #2450-BE something) not TRDs, they will firm up the ride. The truck will handle a lot better (less nose dive on braking, less body roll), but you will also feel some bumps more (maybe more than you want to).

good deal, I bought mine at shox.com, I wish I knew this before.

i got mine off e-bay. They were from some SoCal dist. I paid 289 shipped for 4 HD Billies. Good shocks, but a little stiff. :bigok:

i ordered my shocks for my 2wd 4runner from the same cabeperformance.com website. it was 159.00 shipped. the part #s on the shocks are the exact same #'s in the bilstein catalog for the HD.. from what they told me they are out of stock on the 4wd 4runner shocks.

Can you get Bilsteins for an 05 yet? (SR5/4WD/V8)

I second Ebay as one of the cheaper alternatives but I got mine at Performance Products b/c I didn't want to risk getting the wrong ones. Also, my buddy works there and I didn't need shipping.

Can you get Bilsteins for an 2005 yet?

OR at least the TRD/Bilstein shocks (for a 2005 non-Xreas)?

i dont think they have bils for the 4th gens yet.

maybe if you ask 1 more time though

Rear bilsteins yes you can. Front, not that I know of.

Thanks, Jared. Is that the TRD version?
