I’m on the verge of buying an xB but I don’t like the ride quality. From reading the forums, the Tanabe NF210 springs are suppose to improve things significantly, but I really need to experience the ride quality to know if it’s going to work.

I live in Hillsboro, OR and was wondering if there’s anyone in the area that would be willing to take me for a drive so I can know if this is a viable solution before plunking down a lotta Gs on a new car. I can give you some gas money and a little extra to make it worth your time.... like $20... not a big deal.

Much thanks,

Unfortunately I have a tC with TEIN S-Techs.. but I will let some of our xB guys know about this thread

 

I have DF210's on my '04 xB. It's a nice drop and the ride can kinda be rough at times but it isn't too bad. It really just depends on the road you're on. I live in Milwaukie so Hillsboro is kinda out of my way, unless we do a Friday or Saturday Sonic meet.

 

Thanks for the offer to help, but I should probably try the NF210s on an 08+ xB, since I'd be gett'in a 2011.

Thing about the stock suspension is that I like to rest my head lightly on the headrest... and the stock suspension is so jouncy that my head is constantly bouncing off the head rest. I rented a 2010 xB this summer (twice actually) and the ride just killed it for me. If it were just a wee-bit less jouncy, it'd be fine because I really like the xB otherwise...

PS -- I go up to the Vancouver, WA and Kelso/Longview area a lot too... if there's anyone up there.

 

There isn't many modded scions here in the kelso Longview area. So no luck up here.

 

i dont think anyone is running the NF210's in this area.

 

Springs and Lower alway's make things better

 

I got the impression that the NF210s are the most popular springs for the xB...

No?

 

No , Tanabe also make a DF210 which is probably what your thinking.

 

^yeah that. everyone runs the DF210's because they have more drop. if not the DF210's then coils or air.

 

This is the giant thread I was going by and why I want the NF210 springs. I really don't care about the drop; more interested in the ride quality.

yeah, i think that most of us are looking for drop. those looking for more comfort/ride stability usually go for coilovers. sorry.

 

I have a 08 Xb on DF210's and I love the look and ride..I kinda want lower.. Im runnin 245/40/18 on it and I have had no problems..
