Update! How are things coming along?

hey im curious im thinkin about switchin to LC Coils and shocks, whered you buy yours??

TIP: -keep in mind the coilovers take a little while to settle, mine took about a week to fully settle, then i went to pismo and they seemed to settle a little more, just cranked em up again this morning.
-Easiest way to get the spanner wrench in there to adjust them is to unbolt the upper control arm
-Crank the driver side coilover a tad more than the passenger side to compensate for driver and gas tank weight.

I got my LC coils and shocks from toyotapartsales.com

Here's a link:

Coils:

Shocks:

Thanks a lot for the tips. I have been out there cranking until my arms are numb trying to get these things to the right height. Once they settle and I adjust them again, I'll definitely remember to unbolt the upper a-arm.

I have been unsuccessful at getting all of the pictures taken, just a couple that show them installed. It started raining as I was finishing up and I was ready to call it quits anyways. I'll try and get some more up tomorrow before I go in to work. Here are a couple of pics:





More to come!!

No, that's an invisible coupler. It aids in CV travel and articulation, and also acts as an independent locker for those tricky off-road situations. Another bonus of the invisible coupler is the added one billion horsepower .
