The most popular being the Koni Yellow struts and TRD springs. That will give you a nice drop without being very aggressive. If you want/can spend the extra cash, a nice set of coilovers (such as Silk Road, Cusco, JIC Magic, or TEIN) are nice as well. From your description, the Koni/TRD set up will probably exceed your needs. If you want TRD springs, get them quick. They will be harder to get in the future (there is a group buy on them now: TRD Springs). Also, since you are running 16's you can go with some bigger tires. 225's in front and 245's in the rear without rolling your fenders (this might rub over big dips/rough roads) or 255 if you want to roll them. Good luck and post if you have any questions. Your english is good enough to understand so don't worry! |
Thanks bro! Ok let me get this straight, the Koni thing absorbs the bumps and with the springs I can adjust the altitude?. If not please explain me how they work ok?
Now some questions: will this set work for both front and rear ends?? (I guess that they need different setups right?). When I buy them, do I ask for them as it is?? I mean:" Sir, please sell me 4 Koni yellow struts and 4 TRD springs"
. Don't they come in different sizes/values or something like that?? please let me know 'cause I'm an ignorant in this subject and I wouldn't like ending with 8 parts for a truck or something
.
I forgot, do you know of any store that sells these things in the US (for a good price of course. I'd like to know how much my budget will suffer
). I don't live in the US but I have some friends who can get them for me.
Regards...
