Bilstein 5100's question
OK so i see alot of people buying toytech/ eibach springs with bilstein 5100's, to make a 2- 3" coilover setup. I'm seeing the standard ones for my truck, but guys around forums were using the height adustable version. Can someone link me if there are some that'll fit my truck?? i have 96 standard cab 2.4L 5 lug. Or just verify that i'll have the same effect if i use the regular 5100's.

i dunno how your truck weighs compared to the 1995-2004 Tacoma or to the 1996-2002 4Runner. Because for the 4Runner, the Tacoma 5100s shown in your link is considered to be soft that's why almost all use the Tundra 5100s. The 1996-2002 4Runner is heavier compared to the 1995-2004 Tacoma.

Do those 5100's come with the spring perches on them or do you use them off the old struts?

I'm not familiar with the eibach springs. You can check with Toytec as i believe they sell the eibach springs.
about the top plate, you will need the original top plates of your truck but you'll need the rubber isolators from a 1999-2006 Tundra, IF AND ONLY IF, you use the tundra coil springs. If you decide to go the eibach route, you MAY OR MAY NOT need the tundra rubber isolators. you can check this out with toytec.
Btw, is your truck a Tacoma?
