what springs does everyone here suggest? nothing to stiff but something that has a comfortable ride. looking to add 17" or 18" rims.

I'm using TRD and I like it, might not be the lowest, but the rider is better than stock and the handling is also better.

Edited by ghost: helped you out some.

Goldlines for $200 installed
or an adjustable Ground Control Kit for just a little over twice as much.

You can't go wrong... :wink:

talk to or pm bill (scionspecialistvegas) he got us (himself,vegascion,kinglou, and myself) on goldlines. the drop is NICE and the rides is smooth. (less bouncy than stock) hes a distributor and i know he has an extra set at this exact moment.

trds are cool but definitely stiffer.(kinglous brother arinvolvo has them) check around all the pictures of different springs youll see pretty quick which way you want to go.

im sure anyof us are more than happy to meet up so you could check out in person ride/look.

B&G Suspension has a good sport spring.

the sprint springs provide a 2in drop for front and rear. ride is very nice. around 200 and change w/ install. nice blue color

Sprint springs are garbage, stay away from those things :)

Goldlines are great for the price...

call DB motorsports in chino

i just installed my goldlines a few hours ago (finally!).. i switched over from the 1.25" spys. the drop doesnt look like too much of a differnce, its only 3/4 of an inch difference. but they havent settled in yet. when i leave work, i'll have to check them out again. I only drove from my house to work but i can really tell a difference in the feel of the springs. I like the feel of the gold lines more so far. we'll see, i need to do some more driving on them. :)

yeah~ finally man. about time...

wat rims are u running right now with the springs?

I recomend either checkin into progress group drop springs. at a store near u they offer both clean drop and super handling without the bouncyness of the stocks or even an adjustable spring or fork out some cash and get the jic flta2's and get the best of both worlds literaly the ultimate

I love my goldlines, im sitting on 19's with em, no rubbing no probs, love the ride, gives it a sporty feeling, it reminds me of my dads audi TT..

what do you all prefer? EIBACK vs. GOLDLINES? or vs. JDM brands(TEIN, RSR, TANABE)

Tanabe Df210 owns them all =)

:lol:

dude, your from vegas. goldlines-scionspecialistvegas-HELLO

pm scionspecialistvegas for hook ups on goldline springs cheaper than if you picked em up at a store. all the vegas guys are running goldlines, you should too

ya be part of the goldline line in vegas :shock:

Goldline is gonna rock the suspension industry soon....it may not be the top end (atleast according to price) but it sure feels and look like one.

GoldLine Rocks~

My vote ... no springs ....... just go for ground rubbing, bump grinding, speed bump, oil pan tearing off fun :lol:

Goldline was coming in the scene as I was leaving the retail side of tuning. I know they were on the less expensive side.

I'm happy with Eibach's. Not too low and great ride. No rubbing with 18's and 215's. No rubbing with full load of people and cargo.

I guess I am the only one with eibachs in here. :lol: I like the ride quality and the fact that they lower me 1.6 and I can still manage driveways with my 18s. Feel great look great and not a bad price. But I strongly reccomend talking to "scionscpecialistvegas " about your spring install and get some advice from him. He knows the roads in your area better then me. :D

Just got my Goldlines in yesterday (Thanks to Bill in Vegas) Hes da man... ANyhow I recomend them 120% I have had alot of lowerd cars on all differant setups.. and this is one of the most enjoyables rides.. its a 80% improvement over stock just in comfert and no more bouncing around.. and then there is the tight lay flat cornering.,. I love these springs... and 2" on 18s is perfect..

anyone got 2 in spy springs

which do you all prefer? goldline or eibach?

I used to have Spy springs. I don't think it will matter what 2 inch drop you get, you WILL have some bounce. Why? Because the stock shock has less travel due to the drop. I liked the Spy springs since they rode alot softer than stock, but it did bounce. My xB rides even better now since I have the TEIN coilovers. I haven';t ridden on Goldlines, but it seems that more peeps are going to them. Alot of peeps are on Spys as they were the only ones available in the beginning. Tanabe DFs are just plain hard to get, but I hear they ride nice also.

I like the Eibach's as well. The ride improved alot over stock and they sit nice and tight without being too slammed and worrying about any rubbing.

Ryan...u gotta get some coilovers...that's the best way to go lower.

I believe Brad (squirrel) has coilovers with Goldlines...and it looks tite.

Don't even attempt to cut ur coils...u'll regret it. it'll look nice..but ur ___ will be bouncing off the seat while driving.

what companies makes coilovers for the xb?

thanks man.

what is the lowest drop for springs on the market for the xb?

what is the lowest drop for springs on the market for the xb?
I would say Tanabe's. They have a 2.2" drop for the front and a 2" drop for the rear.

I just installed Eibach on my xBox and luv the way it looks and drives. It's not too low and it feels the same as stock to me. I am sure there must be a differnce in the ride but it's too small for me to notice. I am very satisfied. Eibach is OG. That's my opinion but if I would have went with another spring I might be saying something different.
I think we should be measuring the distance from the ground not the distance from stock height. I am going to start a new topic asking for ya'll with different springs to measure the ground to the bottom of the body kit in the front and back so we know what kind of ground clearance we are getting.

then get some 16x7s and have the 215s fit properly, and a lighter wheel =)

i dont need 245s to do that. im running 215s thats more then anuff tire. :D

if i wanted 16x7s i would have bought 16x7s. if i wanted my tires to "fit properly" i would bought 245s. im happy with my 16x9s and my tires that dont "fit properly"... :roll:

just wondering what springs i should go with if i have a set of 17"x7.5"? espelir springs (f-1.6" r-1.8") or the tanabe df springs (f-2.0" r-2.2")?

Thanks for all the support from my scion brothers out there. I just installed Kinglou's alarm with remote start and pager,rocks hard, I need to get the 2 way fm set up myself. Scion Specialist is going to become Scionspecialties.com very soon. Thanks for all your support my friends. The scion community is tight . Thanks Again. Bill
