Rating 5.0

The most noticeable upgrade I did on mine was a better set of shocks and struts. You don\u2019t have to do a leveling kit, just something higher quality like a set Bilstein 4600s.

Pros: noticeable upgrade
Vehicle: Toyota
Part number: 4600S

If it was mine and I was willing to put some money in it, I'd replace the shocks if they haven't been done in a while (front and rear), they could be a big help in ride quality as long as you get quality parts (KYB, Bilstein, etc). KYB is factory provider for GX460 shocks, Bilstein are a gold standard as well. Monroe/Gabriel are meh OEM equivalents. Ranchos are overrated.

Pros: gold standard
Cons: Ranchos are overrated
Vehicle: Lexus

Mine's a 330i auto, but the three best mods I've done is:

1. Suspension: B8 Bilsteins, Eibach Pro-kit springs & sway bars, Z4M FCA offset bushes, CMP Auto E46/Z4 Suspension Bundle (solid subframe bushes, monoball RTA bushes, adj. camber arms).

Pros: improved suspension, better handling
Vehicle: BMW

Bilstein Strut assembly

I only replace shocks and struts with Billstein. You pay for what you get these days and I’ve replaced OE struts only to find out the leaking OE struts performed better than Monroe or KYB’s.

Pros: pay for what you get
Cons: OE struts performed better

Bilstein Shock absorbers

I got a set of Bilstein 5100's with OME 886 coils after reading numerous posts on tacomaworld forums saying that set up produced a 2.5" lift for 3rd gens, and the other OME coils all sagged too much. I just picked it up after getting that installed and I'm pretty sure I got 4" of lift.

Pros: 2.5" lift
Cons: 4" of lift
Vehicle: Toyota

Got Bilstein coilovers Summer 2024, new socks mounts, the whole 9 yards...the other day I heard reaaly bad clanking thought maybe it was a bad sway bar end link...NOPE. Completely obliterated shock absorbers. They were brand new too.

Cons: completely obliterated shock absorbers
