I am using a shock for a 03 Toyota Sienna van, part #37243
they don't go as high either, so the back is actually level with the front all the way up.

sure man, no prob.

simijoecool · 08-10-2008, 10:22 PM

is 5780 the one for the echo? if not perhaps try there. but wow the sienna? how did u find that?

gothbox · 08-10-2008, 10:26 PM

somebody else had did a ton of research and figured it out. I am just passing along the info.

Are those sienna once as cheap as the Echo ones? The Echo ones are like 30 bucks a pair for the rear and 68 i believe a pair for the front.

depends on where you go, and what brand you get.
I think I paid like around $40 for mine, but I don't remember what brand I bought.

i did a little more resear and found this out
Model # Extd. Compressed Travel

5870 23.8" 14.25" 9.6"

5854 20" 12.12" 7.8"

5867 19" 11.75" 7.25"

no_lines · 08-15-2008, 11:42 AM

idk if the 5870 has the 23.8 and the 5867 has a 19 it probley wont be level when u air up, but thats just my guess

Eav10xB · 08-15-2008, 12:32 PM

Echo shocks or Sienna shocks? Item numbers? Which one is best for Tanabe 210's? I am not on air, I am looking for a replacement shock that is shorter than our stockies, also that has a nice comfortable ride for passengers, because right now it is nice and stiff and bumpy.

Big_Kokujin · 08-15-2008, 12:48 PM

the echos only lower in the front.

if you are just doing springs and no air, then the 5870 will do great. That is what I am running on my other box, with springs and it rides better then stock.

Thanks, I just need something shorter in the rear because the rears do not have any traveling space right now so it is stiffer than hell.

Thanks.

Big_Kokujin · 08-18-2008, 08:17 AM

But those will not make it lower, only ride better.

You could always get a set of monroe air shocks. I forget the part number, but they are like $68 from pep boys and they go quite low. I haven't personally tried them, but quite a few of the bb squad guys have.

But are they running them with bags?

Because air shocks tend to hold weight of vehicle pretty well. So you'd have to dump your shocks and bags at the same time, and same speed (or close if you don't want the strange dump/fill).

I think we talked about this before Cody

Yeah, a few with air tried it. Some of them even have them on their own fill system iirc. Afaik most set them to the lowest point they want. If you want more info hit up the site. I'm by no means an expert on it, just rehashing what I've read.
