Question Those w/ Bilsteins

Hi I have a 2002 2wd 4runner. I was wondering where the cheapest place to buy a whole set? Where have you all gotten yours at? I searched the post and found many liked the bilsteins and heard from friend they are the best so thats what i'm going to get. I am only a daily driver, no off road. Thanks for any replies

I got a set for mine from a guy on ebay. It was the cheapest I was able to find them. Might want to check that out, not sure if the price is good for the 3rd gen set but for my 2nd gen it was a good deal.

I just recieved mine from www.offroadwarehouse.com

They were $60.99 each. That is the cheapest that I was able to find anywhere. ~$255 total including shipping.

Thanks for all the replies. I will check out those links trunner and cmd93. Arsrmk I checked out ebay and wrote the guy but he never got back. It looks like they are for a 4wd the bils. Would you happen to remember the sellers name?
Shox.com quoted me 269.80 plus tax and 10 for ship which is 302.05 shipped. Wonder why they are giving me a higher quote. Thanks for the replies any more welcome

The guy I got mine from was techdeals1. I paid $248 for a set of 4 shipped for my 2nd gen. Not sure what exactly he has for 2wd's but would be worth checking into.

I don't really know a lot about Bilsteins. I don't go offroad that often, so they would just make the ride on the road smoother? Does it give any type of lift?

I sent you a PM about the ones I just took off my truck that I'm trying to sell. Does anyone know if '00 taco and '02 runners have the same shock specs?

Those were for a 4wd I think.Those came out to288.00 or bin 299.00. thanks for info.Cmd93 thanks for info offroadware house is 273.96 tax 210.23 plus ship 12 + 307.96. I think some of you got them cheaper b/c mine a 3rd and some of you got the 2nd gen I suppose. Thanks for all the help. I heard the bilsteins get the stock float on the road off and don't really know if the specs are the same thanks to all for the replies any more welcome

I am pretty sure the front shocks are the same but the rears are different.

I think $250 shipped is about as good as it'll get and probably isn't worth waiting to save $5 or so.

I've got a used pair for the front w/ 15-17k miles and some scratches on them. They can be yours for $50+ shipping.

Used aren't new but $50 can't be beat with that low of miles.

Another $150 will get you a set of 4 Performance Products Progressive 1" coil springs. I had Billies in the rear too but I couldn't get them off without sacrificing them. https://www.yotatech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31395
