    Hi All,
    Looking to upgrade my suspension to the pro suspension and have an opportunity to purchase a new set of the Bilstein set-up for slightly under MSRP. Buy now or wait until the new Fox set-up is available? I like the fox set-up but don't know if/when it will be available for purchase, or how much it will cost. Since the Bilsteins have been discontinued, I may not have the same opportunity in the future.
    So, do I buy the tried and true version of the Pro suspension (Bilstein) or take my chances that the Fox will be available in the future to us non-pro owners?
    Yes, I know there are a lot of other options out there for similar price range but only interested in the pro suspension at this time :)
    Your thoughts?
    Thanks!

    My thoughts are purchase something that’s just as comparable if not better, for the same cost, but have the option of adjustability.

    I like the Pro suspension but the Fox 2.5's will be my back-up if I cant find what I'm looking for.

    I would get the new Fox Shocks. Hopefully these are rebuildable. If the new Pro Fox’s are not rebuildable, don’t waste your money.

    I think I read somewhere that they were.. I think that's the route I'm going to go. Just hope they aren't too hard to get a hold of. I know Toyota is trying to limit the availability of Pro parts

    If in fact these shocks are rebuildable, but not available:

    2.5 or even look at 3.0 shocks. I like the blue guys.

    OP can you tell us exactly how much you would be paying below MSRP for the Bilsteins?

    Unfortunately not much, about 10%. Then add shipping... if it was a significant discount I would just grab the Bilsteins and be done with it.
