that can't be right. It more like $700 not $70.

 

Something doesn't seem right to me

 

If it says 70 then they should sell it to you for 70 because they made a mistake and advertised it for that price...

I don't know though they look a little cheap from the picture though.. but i don't know anything about them i've never seem them before

 

From what i can see with my distributor and pro comps site this is a replacement shock for the coilover. That price is the normal retail for this part. I don't think that this includes the spring.

 

the part # is just the shock

 

the ones pictured are the coilovers that sway-a-way made for pro comp's early tacomas.....completely different than the ones that pro comp makes themselves now.

and yeah, the site is only selling the replacememnt strut style shock (w/out the coil)

 

well i clicked to talk with a rep from the site and this is what he said (i drive a tacoma btw

Harry is their site rep

Harry: Hi
Harry: Okay
Harry: What is the Year, Make, and Model of your vehicle?
nick: its a coil over shock absorber for a 2001 toyota tacoma
nick: 01 tacoma
nick: its under suspension
nick: pro comp
Harry: Okay
Harry: Please allow me to look into the information for you. Would you mind holding a moment?
nick: ok
nick: my question about the item is the page for a set of coilovers? or just a part of one? or a single entire coilover
Harry: Is yours 4 Wheel Drive, 5 or 6 Lug Wheel ?
nick: yes
nick: 4wd 6 lug
Harry: We have Coil Over Shock Absorber from Brand: Pro Comp
Harry: PROCOMP COIL OVER SHOCK ABSORBER -- Front With 4 Inch Lift, for $71.95
Harry: PRice is for EACH ( one )
Harry: Are you looking to purchase the parts from us? Shall I assist you in placing the order for this to make it correct and see that the part ships out in time?
nick: ok so does that include teh coil spring or JUST the shock
Harry: Comes with coil and shock
nick: so basicalliy its the picture just 1 single unit
nick: insted of a pair
Harry: Yes, price is for EAch, Not for pair


so from what he says, it does come complete just one side. but id check with them aain if i were to buy them

 

oooh ☺☺☺☺ so can i get them for my 3rd gen

 

thats what the guy told me, but still confirm on your own

 

This sounds good and bad? If this is the case and this guy's selling these for just over 70 bucks. JUMP ON IT! You can barely get bilsteins for that much? There's definitly a problem here? My issue is it does sound way to good to be true.

 

Seaching by Part number comes up with a lot of places selling for the same cost. But I also think it's just the shock. That sounds more accurate.

 

its one of those too good to be true deals where it could be a scam

plus ive never even heard of that shock Jeff? Search TTORA while you are at it since they do high speed coilovers and expensive stuff

my opinion if you go adjustable go with these
Donahoe
King
Saw
Camburgs
Walker Evans (also All Pro)
Fabtech dirt Logics

stick with the above for that type stuff that has a reputation.

 

yeh, I'm not doing anything, just looking in case there were any great deals to be had on something decent. I came across those Pro-comps and thought it was strange ... I cannot imagine them being very good if they are only $71.

maybe someone else will try, but I won't.

 

I just love how fast "Harry" tried sucking you into buying them. This conversation sounds classic...similar to a TV infomercial.

 

damn i was hopin i could add a little 4' boost lift for cheap..guess too good to be true..i wish they would come out with teenager priced friendly coilover set up for my 3rd gen..all those things ae just too expensive for only a yield of 3"
