I have tried the following stuff, all on an LN106 90's D/C Hilux.

- Ironman - Dont bother saged quickly wasn't that good at flexing and rode like a brick.
- Kings - had them on with Koni Shocks, happen with the ride, didn't give real godd travel though, not much flex.
- EFS - haven't had it that long but am happy with it so far. Flex's better than the kings and rides better than the Ironman.
- Factory Toyota ... mmmm enough said.

If I could have my time again ..... I would probably go with the EFS as it is the best Value for money and I am happy with it so far, been 8 mths.

Tend to agree, springs have memory and have sagged on one side, harsh ride empty, ok when loaded. Tend to carry a lot of weight in the back at times, > 1 T, then they aren't too bad.

A mate of mine put on some TJM springs, he was pretty happy with them, and I trust his opinion.
