camburg vs donahoes...Mandatory reading before you post

[cauch235]

i am looking into getting either the camburd/deaver/bilstein kit for 1550 or the donahoes/deaver/bilstein kit for 1650 from demello-offroad.com.... does anyone have suggestions on which one to get? i know the camburg coilovers and donahoe coilovers both go for 950 so would it be smart to get the camburgs since i am getting them for 100 less? FEEDBACK PLEASE!

Cauch235 wanted some input on the differences between the Camburgs and the Donahoe's. Donahoe's post explains some of the differences. He also states, "Im kinda bias so take my post with a grain of salt." So instead of smiling and rolling your eyes at the obvious, maybe you'd like to provide some info that could assist Cauch in making a decision?

Yes, yes, that was hilarious. Absolutly, positively, without a doubt the funniest thing that I have ever heard in my entire freaking life. You could probably work it into a standup bit and take it on the road.

[rojodiablo]

I give Donahoe some real credit.... Do you see ??? Ford backing up his stuff to the people personally?? And, he was truthful. Now, if he could just be as funny as the new taco's fenders, it would be a perfect Christmas. I tried one today... that is what happens when your father in law builds Toyota indy cars. This thing had some MOTOR. It is a project truck from an R&D guy. It is a streeter, and it flew.He almost fainted when I mentioned a lift kit. He don't love me no more. But the truck drove real nice...real nice.

Your post has what to do with anything in this thread??

[4BYnTacoma]

If you shop around you will find Demello to generally be a bit on the pricey side. You can the Camburg/deaver/bilstien set up from Camburg for 1550 any day of the week, and that is not including the TTORA discount you get which I think is about 10%. If you go through whelers.com you don't have to pay sales tax and they will pay the shipping on the coilovers.

[EVOM1]

There is no comparasent go with the best Donahoe

[4BYnTacoma]

Thats with the uni-Ball arms you moron. He said nothing about getting the uni-Ball arms. He said Camburgs/deavers/and bilstiens. The Camburg coilovers are 950 and the Deaver springs WITH bilstien 5100's are 600. 950+600= 1550. Tard.

And I wasn't knocking anyones business. I was informing a fellow Tacoma owner of a cheaper place to buy his parts. So chill the fuck out.

I was under the impression the DeMello package included the uni-ball arms. Simple mistake, Nancy.

Maybe I missed something., but WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING???

[rojodiablo]

Nothing really. Just ocdp2000 laughing about Donahoe coming out to talk up his stuff. I think it's good that he does that, and gives some opposing viewpoints. You don't find some other builders doing that; wether or not their stuff is really good. And as for the new street taco, I got a message from a friend while on this post asking me about it, and My post went here instead of his private message box, 'cause I was doing ten things at once, and put it here on accident.

the camburgs are the same as the old donahoes...the new donahoes have more technology and they're the same price, which in my opinion makes them better. the donahoe racing tacoma won their class in the baja 1000 using only their suspension products. that's reason enough for me to run their stuff if i didnt already have it

[motoxscott]

Sorry to burst your bubble but the Camburg Coilovers are not the same shocks Sway-Away designed and built for Donahoe prior to him assembling them himself. Me and Kreg can go back and forth with this all day long, it comes down to opinions. They are both high quality shocks with sutle differences. Remember, its just a shock, no one has re-invented the wheel here and come up with ground breaking new shock technology.

The funny thing is a lot of the people that say they luv their DR shocks probably have the Sway-Away built versions that Kreg once called the best.

The best way to find out what works for you is to ride in different trucks, talk to people that have both, talk to both companies and come up with a decision based on that.

I feel the Camburg coilovers are just as good if not better than what's out there and I have my reasons, just like Kreg has his.

While I understand that most of the coilover shocks are quite similar, I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on this:

What are the differences between your shocks and the Fabtech DirtLogic's? Is it indeed true that both yours and theirs (Fabtech's) have the same exact components, size, stroke, and wheel travel?

Okay, so rather than just stating your feelings and saying you have your reasons, would you mind elaborating? I'm interested to know what specific things lead you to believe your coilovers are just as good if not better than what's out there. For example, how do your coilovers differ from the DirtLogic's and the Donahoe's, mechanically/functionally?

- Scott @ Camburg Engineering

quite some time ago Kreg posted his reasons why he though his adj. coilovers were the best. I think its time Camburg did the same since this is an open forum and hundreds of potential buyers are tuning in.

compitition is a good thing, IMO.

[Tankota]

Hmm... this could get interesting...

Of course I'm a bit biased myself..

If you need me to chime in with tech reasons why the Donahoes are the best let me know. But I think its Scotts turn to let us all know the Camburg secrets to high level shock performance. Scott the mic is yours......rock it.

[Half Baked Taco]

yes, I would like to hear this as well.

I read the thread on Tundra Solutions, but on this site has a lot more traffic and potential buyers.....

I would also like to hear from Scott. He always does a good job of sticking up for Camburg whenver someone has doubts but he rarely answers his post when you reply back to him. Another reason why I'm a Donahoe fan. You guys acutally take the time to answer questions. Communications is key to having a great product.

You must not read many of my posts because I go into depth most times, Im sure Kreg will back me up on that one. We have gone pages deep talking about this. I'm new to this site though. I'll give a full write up when I get home tonight, if you can't wait call me at the shop.

Yep I got your back Scott.. You have spewed forth the info. But I think the guys want to hear tech stuff so work something nice up for them. Then it will be my turn. I think we can do this without saying stuff like " I know you are but what am I?" Just the facts jack. Not hearsay. Straight up tech to tech.

Bring it brotha...

[04RedLobster]

i'm really interested in hearing this from both sides of the top selling/popular coilover company....

I am still deciding which coilovers to get whenever i have the money...
from this guy in customtacos, the only difference is the color....hehe...

but would like to see the difference and techonlogy base info..
