Bilstein B12 Rear Coils

Does anyone have experience with Bilstein B12 rear coils? Have had Bilstein 5100s in the front and rear for about 9 months now and am pleased with the performance. Currently running 1” Cornfed spacers in the rear with the front clips set to 1 3/4” but am interested in moving away from the spacer. Have 1” B12 rear lift coils on the way but figured I’d get some feedback before going forward with the project - I have to imagine the spacers are apples to oranges with coils… Daily driver that very rarely gets to enjoy some overlanding and light off-roading. Thanks in advance for the info!

 

I have them and am happy with them. My fronts are also set to 1.75". I can't compare to spacers only but my driving is similar to yours. Daily driver with relatively light off road.

I did install a 10mm poly spacer on the rear drivers side and a .25" cornfed spacer on the front drivers side to get rid of the lean with the Bilstein 5100s.

 

Thanks for the feedback @TrueTexas - appreciate it very much!

 

I’d be interested to hear if you can tell a difference! Personally, I see nothing wrong with using a small spacer the way it’s being used here. I have Elka’s on mine in the front set at default 1 1/2” - just a hair above the Pro height. I added a 1/2” Cornfed spacer to get to level and stayed with the stock rear suspension. It’s perfect. It’s mostly a DD as well. I really wanted to avoid a rear high, stiff bouncy rear end because it’s empty back there most of the time.

 

Any pics with this setup. Wondering how this stance looks.

 

I have 5100s standing by, but I was looking at Bilstein springs at Summit Racing. They had a lot of height configurations. My rear brakes are wearing faster with the forward cante. Need some leveling they will bring.

 

I have 5100 set to 2.5" and b12 heavy 2.5" coils in rear with 5100 in rear too. Runs about 1/2" rake. I love the ride and height I get from this set up. 285 70 17 m/t rides great off road, highway I try to not go over 65 ever. Oh also have deleted front sway bar.

 

I'd like some TRD 17s but right now I'm going to live with 20s until I can delete Xreas and add Bilsteins. I was wondering if I can run 275/60-20s in tires? It's around 1.5 inches to width, height and sidewall I'm thinking I can without severe turning until I get Bilsteins on and add a little lift. Doesn't seem like much more. I was going to do 2.0 up front and 0.5-0.75 in rear. As many miles I would like to replace springs but I'm hauling concrete blocks to see if it can eliminate rear Powerstop pads from wearing so fast. It used to nose dive to eliminate that I guess, but not now.

 

I found TRD wheels at Yotamaster for $221 each which was about as cheap as I have seen. I kinda like the silver because you don't see as much or gold. I have white T4R and everyone has black on white.

 

I have the +400# B12 coils on my '19. I've had them on for around 3.5 years and 75K miles, and I have no complaints.

Here's the stance with the front 6112's set to 2.4"

 

Although I don't want your posts to hijack this thread, your suspension setup will have very little to do with your brake pads in the rear wearing too fast. If anything, nose drive will transfer more weight to the front and cause the fronts to wear faster. Sounds like you either have way softer brake pads in the rear than the front, or you have a brake proportioning valve problem. Potentially other problems could cause this as well. Start a new thread to get help from this community on that specific problem. Driving around with concrete blocks in the rear is a very bad idea as well. You can kill yourself if you get in a head on collision.

Back to the springs. I don't have a roof rack or normally haul anything in the rear so I think I have the softest b12 1" springs they offer. Absolutely no complaints. I'm not sure that you would see much difference with the springs vs small spacers but I'm personally not a spacer fan (even though I'm using very thin ones to get rid of the lean).
