I was running Performance Products front and rear with bilstiens, then I couldn't pass up a group buy on some Donahoe Racing coilovers. So I spent the extra coin, and what a great decision.
They are everything the hype says they are.

Wish I had done it sooner.

Bling'n here...
But not the usual red bling you see here. I'm running the downey coilovers and really like them other than the fact that I think the spring is compressing. I need to call them and see if they have a lifetime warrenty. Does anyone know? There is a good inch left when I lower it to take them out. I have them cranked all the way and they are just under what they should, but I don't even have a winch yet. I'll have to get new springs by the time I do.

BTW: Tundra TRD Coils ROCK! Buy Andy's Spacers!

I'm running Bic pen springs and HPI Savage 25 HD shocks in the front and in the rear I am running rubber bands and paper clips and have the rear axle sort of reverse hung with Push-up frozen treats as the dashpots. All 4 wheels droop when I hop in but I'm learning to live with the excrusiatingly painful scraping sounds that emit from underneath whilst I drive to work.
