So I've seen a few examples of '08 xB lowering jobs in various forums. One guy used Goldline springs (tC in front and xB in rear)...but what I haven't quite been able to figure out is if you can use springs from the pre-2008 xB's to lower the new version? Any definitive answers are appreciated. If its already posted Imust have missed it...

You can use the back, but not the front.

What do you put on the front then?

tC front springs

I didn't want to be a guinea pig for anything so I ordered a set of the TRD springs. The springs were $209.50. I also got the spoiler kit for $294.50 and the rear bumper applique for $39.50. It was $35 to ship it all from Sullivan Brothers Toyota.

Yea I woudn't use gen 1 xB or tC springs on the gen 2 xB. Springs rates will be totally off!!

yup best ting to do is wait for the correct springs or use the TRD springs and cut them a little to bring it down more.. at least the spring raes on the TRD are teh correct rate.

I did it, and it rides great.

so, randode. you just used the gen 1 xB springs?
notice any difference at all? any customization or just a straight swap?
