Front Coilovers or Shocks....

[SooRunner]

Any word on this?

Any word on this?

I am still working with a company that specializes in custom coilovers, shocks, etc. They have all the measurements and are looking for all the right pieces to make this work.

They are also looking into demand vs research/design cost. I will keep you guys posted once they finish their research.

Thanks Amy

Sux they don't have yellow koni's for our trucks!! Had those on my civic b4 & loved them!

I'll be happy to be the first one to put them on my truck if you need to be tested.:top:

I need new shock, bad!

don't know much about this, but if coil overs are made for our trucks, would it be just for the front?

most likely. there are qa1's for the rear...

^^^Most definetly since we have leafs in the rear

Why cant you just get the measurements of the stock shock and get the parts to make a coilover kit? All you need it collapsed length, how much stroke, mounting situation and ppi for springs..? Speedwaymotors.com and you can make your own front kit...

Should make them work with the DJM kit also:top:

Any luck with this?

This would be a great mod. I actually wondered why this had not been done as I was installing my XII performance springs on my stock struts with 90,000 miles on them. My last tacoma had a custom long travel suspension on it, I just took some measurements and called sway away and they sent me coilover shocks for the application, then I just had to go on eibachs website, choose the springs I wanted based on what the truck weighed and the spring rate I needed. Then you get to choose your own ride height. This would allow guys to get a custom look based on how they drive, what rims they have ect. But I know this... It won't be cheap. I would guess a "kit" that takes all the guess work out of it an includes everything would be a minimum of 5-600 bucks and could easily be 1000 if you got super high quality stuff.

to me all we need is an adapter plate so we can bolt and coil over on that uses a double eye bolt mooting system

That's an easy thing to make. Just take the plate from the struts we have, make a template and have a water jet guy shoot a few out (unless you want to cut them out yourself), then just attach some grade 8 bolts through the holes, get some prefabed shock tabs, weld em in, gusset them, bada bing bada boom. Then just get the measurements from there and your done.

I am using the procomp adapters. The might be the same bolt pattern for your trucks.

Hadn't thought of that. That's possible. We could prob find out pretty easy. I'm sure someone online knows.

Wish I had a plasma cutter. I have a welder but it's crap. I need to upgrade. I miss working in a shop where I could just use the shop tools :0

Wait....they don't offer ANY coil-over kits for the xrunner? Seriously ? Wow...who the hell dropped the ball on that idea ?

 

[BondXII]

Ball hasn't "dropped." Just been joggling the ball for awhile. With the limited production of these trucks, it's hard to get a manufacturer to commit. No worries though... It will happen in due time.

Stay tuned.
