Like the title says I just picked up a brand new set of Hotchkis springs and sway bars for $300. Gonna be putting them on soon, hope it all works out with my trd 19" rims. Then try to sell the trd springs to recoup some money, maybe a hundred bucks or something locally. That should hold me for a while till I save up for some AMR coilovers. Also gotta look for a good set of shocks. Too bad koni don't make a set of yellows for the xb2.

AFAIK your only options are Tokico HP Blues, or TRD that are made by KYB.

I am curious to know if monroe makes a sensatrac for these? I would assume they do. I realize they are not performance based by any means but they will give you a soft ride

The Hotchkis springs work well with the TRD wheels. I ran the springs for over a year with TRD's. Only problem I had was the tires would rub on the front fender liners on hard bumps.

Brand new in unopened boxes, well unopened till I opened them right before I paid for them. Local guy on craigslist had for sale a couple of weeks for $400, but I just waited and he didn't sell them so I offered $300 and he said okay.
Thanks for the heads up Cionide and xseveredveganx.

Even on oem struts and shocks, that setup is great (I run it myself).
