They are totally JDM. I was gonna get a set for my xA, but they are kinda steep in price. ScionVan has a set of the bB ones on his sister's xA... I give them the thumps up!

hmmm and to think the Mid-Atlantic folks laughed at me and my beige springs...


oh and hotbox....thanks for the LED bulbs(I put the clear ones up in the front turn signal and need to get the resistor to turn off the JDM Hyperblink) and the back ones I switched to red(and one of the $@$#@ bulbs fell into the lense so I'm running one stock and one red LED....

I got them from a guy that works at a dealership...they were for the dealer car but they lost the wheel lock keys so he sold 'em to me for 125...

So how do they ride? Have you tried other springs before? How do they compare?

Looks good :)

Ride is definately a lot stiffer...I havent tried any other springs before...

the front drivers side was a PITA....took us a couple hours to get it done...

Hey will you know that you dont need to remove the entire upper strut mount like you did , and you don't need a spring compressor either , lol , for the next time if there ever is a next time.

Nice drop. How many inches was it lowered?

WheelSee
03-05-2005, 09:40 PM
right now the bottom of the body kit sits at about 5 1/2" off the ground so what is that
about an inch right now?

and I believe the specs call for a 55mm drop so I would think overall its gonna be about a 1 and a half inch drop...
