|
|
Just as the title says, are DF210's still the lowest springs you can go with the stock struts? or is there anything lower out there now-a-days.
Also, where to buy? I see ScionSport has them for $149+$35 shipping on eBay, they reputable? anywhere else got them genuine and cheaper?
(it's been about a year since i've looked, that's why i'm asking :) ) |

| If you want to go lower you can do the Randode method, which uses Goldlines- tC 's for the front and xB1 for the rear- which drops about an inch more all around than xB2 DF210's. That is about as low as you'd want to go without air. |

^ Yea, but he wants springs on a 1st gen.
DF210 is pretty much your best option.
Now, if you can find a set of Spy springs, those were almost 3". |

Ahh, my bad.
Sprint springs are also pretty low for the 1st gen, also Monroe struts lower the front another .5". |

Actually, the lowest springs I have seen on a 1st Gen xB are the HKS SF5 Sport Springs.

| Get yourself a set. They are very nice springs. I also added some Toyota Echo struts just to get it a 1/2" lower in front. |
