I currently have TRD springs on stock shocks and plan on getting H&R springs and wanted to know what my options are for aftermarket shocks.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Will ones for the Echo work on the xA? wolf_xa 02-02-2005, 03:40 AM I got the TRD sportivo shocks and struts in my XA and wow what a difference from stock!! I lowered with the Gold-line springs and with the TRD shocks/struts it rides better than it did stock and it's 2" lower!!! It doesn't chatter over rough roads and feels softer but with less body roll in corners. hotbox05 02-02-2005, 07:39 AM xb stuff works in xa too. Tamago 02-02-2005, 12:04 PM Tanabe .... .. but you gotta get the coilovers lol mikochu 02-02-2005, 12:39 PM Koni Yellows for the Echo fit the xA. KYB GR2s for the Echo fit the xA, too. I believe KYB has AGXs for the Echo, but not in the US... Tamago 02-02-2005, 01:46 PM cool, didn't know that :) good stuff! itzjere 02-02-2005, 02:37 PM Koni Yellows for the Echo fit the xA. KYB GR2s for the Echo fit the xA, too. I believe KYB has AGXs for the Echo, but not in the US... Do you know if there is any modification required? Or if it fits 'perfectly'? Thanks! itzjere 02-04-2005, 01:18 AM Can anyone verify if there is any fitment/fabrication for Koni ones? Looking to do a whole suspension revamp soon :money: djct_watt 02-07-2005, 08:11 AM hmmm. . . I recognize the CSUS parking garage! You must have night classes, because it is NEVER that empty! itzjere 02-07-2005, 02:12 PM Yea, it's CSUS parking lot #2. Took it before school started, that's why it's so empty. bump for my question. Anyone know if Koni's for echo will require any fitment to fit on an xA? Ashe_WCM 02-07-2005, 03:10 PM If you are going to get H&R springs why not get the H&R cup kit? djct_watt 02-07-2005, 09:38 PM I dunno about fit, but I wonder if there's any kind of difference, given the slight variations in weight and distribution, in comparison with the Echo. I don't know if shocks designed for an Echo (if there is a such a thing) would be properly calibrated for an xA. My guess is they might not be tuned to the optimal level. I'd ask Toyota for a second opinion. . . see if the Echo shocks and xA shocks are interchangeable. I know that there is a difference between the xA and xB, so there could be a difference between the xA and Echo as well. itzjere 02-08-2005, 12:36 AM I've read that the Echo Koni shocks have a higher rate than the xA since it's slightly heavier, so it'll make my car stiffer, which is what I'm looking for; stiff. I guess I'll be bold and get the Koni's and see if they fit. :pray: Any Toyota guys here know if the shocks for Echo and xA are interchangable? As for why I don't get H&R cup kit, because when I last checked, H&R doesn't have a cup kit for the Echo/xA according to TireRack. However, if you have seen cup kits for the Echo/xA, please send me the link, I'd be interested in checking them out.

Not too much info on it, must have been released recently... not even a price! truffleman66 02-23-2005, 01:20 AM Has anyone installed the TRD schocks ONLY? and no springs? I have already lived with a lowered car for many years. now I need something that will not eat speed bumps, as well as carry all my crap around. If you have just the shock/strut combo, how is it? Ride, handling, rough roads etc.. Thanks Gary FredyMendez 04-27-2010, 12:55 AM I have installed tanabe df210 and im trying to install new schocks after 35k miles. Which one do you recommend? thank you (http://customcarscentral.com/tnbtdf080-scion-xa.html) |
