I run 5100s one notch up to be closer to level but not nose high when loaded. Factory springs and no complaints.
If you have the $, Bilstein 5100s run fantastic on Toyota pickup and 4wd/4runners. They are a little pricey but you'll feel the difference.
I recommend bilstein. I have the yellow and blue version and they ride great. Still going strong after ten years.
Get you some Bilstein shocks and you're all set for this sticker:
Put new OEM springs matched with Bilstein B4 and they're a bit stiffer now. Awesome for cornering but definitely not as "lush" as they once were. Hopefully they settle a bit more.
I have a 2006 9-3 aero with the v6 and it is a little harsh but I have recently upgraded and gone for bilstein b8 kit with Vogtland lowering springs. I have to say the ride is nice and firm when needed and soft enough day to day.
2in prg spacer lift with bilstien 4600 up front and kyb gas-a-just rear shocks with air lift 1000 bag kit. Best cheap setup for these machines.
I love mine, but it will be a rough ride on the road if your suspension geometry is off.
My experience on a 2013 SEL (with lift spacers): - Bilstein B4’s. Pretty much the same as stock - Bilstein B6’s . Harsh. There’s a lot of gas force so you feel every ripple and bump in the road.
The original shocks were completely shot so I replaced them with Bilstein B6 shocks. The ride feels incredibly stiff on most roads.
