So thanks Randode, Eric and Moonray! That was a blast today and I love the results!

Springs are Gen1 xB Goldlines

very nice Bob. Is Eric hiding his new haircut with the doo rag? :P

So the Gen 1 xB springs work on here?

So the Gen 1 xB springs work on here? They work, it helps to have an experienced suspension tech do the install. I'm lucky to be in Randode's area.

Eric Looks like a Pirate in that Pic...... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Shouldn't be any worse then the 1st Gen xB. I have 4 xBs, 1 xA, and 1 tC under my belt. I think I can handle it, lol! I would have thought that the spring rate for the 1st Gen xB would have been a little less then the second cuz it's smaller. That's the only reason I was asking.

So do the shocks and struts from the 1st Gen work as well?

You should be fine. Struts are different, shocks I would assume are different also.

So I should be fine just going with a 2" drop and not changing the struts and shocks? I know on the 1st gen, if you went any lower than the 1" TRDs, you would be changing them out after about 10,000 miles whether you wanted to or not. I just wanna know now so I know if I need to get everything now or not. Thanks.

/me wishes he had the cashola for wheels and a nice drop right now.

Haha, that would be about 3 months for me.
Just got mine a month ago, and I need an oil change already, :(

Forgot about this....... :doh:

What's the part number on the shocks and struts anybody?
I want to see if the 1st gen xb ones will work. If so, I'm going to be placing an order this weekend, :)

Yeah, I know :(

Does anybody know any other aftermarket partnumbers?

how's the ride on these springs with 18's? This is pretty much the setup i am thinking of going with.... 17's or 18's is the big debate.

I would go with the 18's, you can still run a 40 series tire. I'm running the 225/40R18's. The ride is fine the only complaint is that it is choppy sometimes depending on the road. Since these are gen 1 goldlines springs and progressive, the "smooth" riding coils are compressed a little. Mainly because of the weight of the xB2. I love it other than that.

can I be next?
I will be buying a set of springs Very soon. I am just deciding between the 08 goldlines, the 1st gen goldlines, or 1st gen stockers. I just got my wheels and tires installed today. I went with MSR style 103 18x7.5 with toyo proxes4 215/40/18 and I am not posting any pics till after I get the springs and get it lowered cause It needs it bad and I know thats what everyone will say anyway. :rofl:

Dude, post it on SA u wont get flamed there!

:rofl: I will, I don't even have any pics yet. I didn't have time today. I will get some taken and post them up... but it does need to be dropped for sure.
