@HUG0 try pinging @4Running Daily on t4r. He got me a good deal through SRQ. Had some issues with them here so Connor doesn't login anymore, but he's still a good dude and I don't hold any grudges against him or SRQ.
I spoke to him about SRQ and building the race truck when I bought his gas tank skid off him probably 18 months ago. He parted ways with that dude so other than picking his brain he may not have anything to do with ADS or SRQ.

Can't say I'm surprised. Connor is a smart guy, blew my mind when we had trouble with him over all that shit.

Huh, wouldn't have guessed those dudes had had a fallout, they seemed to do a lot of fun and cool shit together. Oh well! Now I'm a little weary of ordering through SRQ, although they do have the best pricing I could find...

I recently saw some comments on T4R.org in the 3rd gen section with ordering issues and lack of customer service that will probably keep me from buying from them. Nothing worse than spending your hard earned money with a vendor that doesn’t treat you like a priority. Most of the stuff they sell can be purchased from the manufacturer for the same price anyways usually.

Little update for anyone curious. Had an awesome conversation with Connor (@4Running Daily) about SRQ, ADS and his notorious 4Runner. I ended up pulling the trigger on the coilovers I've always wanted, hoping they'll be here in around a month. Can't wait! Replacing these leaky, squeaky, and shot Billies is way overdue. Thanks for the help guys!

Can’t go wrong with ADS. I think you’ll be happy with your decision.
Who did you order through? ADS direct or SRQ?

I spent way too many hours researching who to buy from, SRQ, and peoples' experiences with SRQ. Ideally I would've gone directly through ADS, but for whatever reason, their pricing was more than $200 over any of the other quotes I got-- Headstrong Offroad, MCM, Downsouth Motorsports and SRQ. I've talked to Matt at SRQ a handful of times, and Connor spoke highly of him, saying that SRQ has improved and grown its staff significantly recently, from one guy to five guys. He ended up giving me the best deal. I'm well aware that saving money isn't always the biggest priority, there's a lot to be said about solid customer service (especially in this industry!), but Matt's responsiveness and flexibility led me to buy them through him/SRQ. I'll keep everyone in the loop with my overall experience.

Glad to hear you got a great deal and excellent customer service. That's what it's all about. Glad to hear they are doing well on the customer service side of things these days. It's pretty impressive how much that alone can effect your business. :beerscheers:

My ADS coilovers from SRQ showed up last week and I finally had time to throw them on over the weekend... holy shit, it drives like a new 4Runner. One of my blown 5100s had the bottom bolt seized in the bushing, so we had to cut both ends of the bolt off. A minor issue, but just another reason I probably won’t ever buy Bilstein again. To each their own though. Anyway, I’m incredibly stoked about the new shocks. They were way too high initially, so I took out like an inch of threads on each side (driver’s side now has six threads showing and passenger has three)— the adjustability on these is so awesome. As far as my experience with SRQ, I have no complaints. Their initial lead time was pretty far off, but I know ADS had some employees get sick a bit ago so I’m sure that slowed everything down. SRQ was super responsive with my questions. Now I need Tundra brakes! And spindle/LCA gussets... and limit straps... damn it, the list never ends.
