6112 buying question

Would it be a worthy risk to buy these for a smoking deal? Unknown mileage, no leaks.

 

How much?

 

Under $300

 

Even if you get them free, you'll still be out a couple hours and $$ for an alignment...they look like they've seen some time on the road. Tough call for sure.

 

I’m already lifted with eibachs I’m just unhappy with them for a few reasons. Had 6112s on my previous tundra and loved them. Just stumbled on these and thought it may be worth trying.

I imagine the aluminum body would be easy to clean up

 

Springs and shafts look clean, bodies look pretty worn and rusty top bolts. For $200, if you’re that unhappy w eibach’s go for it, throw em in while you save for 8112’s, or a new set of 6112’s.

Im assuming you’re swapping them yourself.

 

Is the time/money to install these with an alignment worth installing crusty rusty coilovers with unknown use/milage?

 

I can change out the top plates, clean up the bodies, and yes I will swap them out myself.

My eibachs started to squeak on one side, then randomly stopped. But they also didn’t give me the desired lift height which was disappointing. 2nd time an eibach coilover product has misled me.

 

I’d do it myself, sort of a project. Not too worried about the sweat equity

 

I was just looking at the rusty bolt on top. I bought mine new, 30k and 7 yrs ago and they look a little better. But to be honest, most of the time in AZ, about 5 yrs in VA but only about 12k miles here. It sits a lot. I’d go new if it were me, but for $100 per side, might be worth it if I hated what I had.

 

Listen to Colton.

 

Thanks for the knowledge and input. I’m going to pass on them.

Side question on my eibachs, could it be possible that one of them got a little debris on them causing a squeak that eventually disappeared (never returned either thankfully)?

 

Only reason I blamed shocks was I lubed the shaft and it immediately went away. Nothing changed when I lubed uca/ lca etc

 

probably hear it resonating through the suspension?

secondly if you want more lift height out of the eibachs, why not get stiffer springs?

 

Listen to Colton’s advice, not mine.
