Wow.....incredible...bet you can speed right through one by now!

sooooooooooo....got any stock xA spring you want to get rid of? huh..do ya?

randode

sorry, no springs for sale.

scionaraxb

man! there HAS to be someone with a lowered xA that wants to sell their stock springs!

I love my xB, but I hate the bumpy ride(yes I knew it was bad when I bought one).....
so I was thinking that the xA is lighter and less top heavy then an xB, so it would make sense that the spring rate would be lighter. I don't really want to lower my xB so I was looking for a softer spring that wouldn't lower it too much.(an inch os so would be the MOST I'd lower it...but it would have to ride better for me to do that)
Any suggestions?

BTW- I love lowered cars..I've had lots of really low street rods and muscle cars, but the xB is my daily driver from MV to Seal Beach every day.

Thundercloud xB w/ 17's.

i was told that xA springs will not fit in an xB. I dont know though. I've never put them side by side. I bet they will fit.

scionaraxb

hmmmmmm.........I'd heard different. and some of the aftermarket spring companies have only one part number for BOTH xa and xB.

get some springs, lets try it!

scionaraxb

Thanks.I might just take you up on the offer.........

I've been looking around...seems like The Tein S. Tech springs are supposed to be fairly soft.
Ever put those on anything? Know of them?

Of all the cars that you've lowered, how many have used TRD springs? How much do they lower the xB? I'd like to come out to the next meeting and see some xB's with TRD springs if possible. It seems like the masses prefer the SPY or other springs. Thanks for your input.

trd springs suck. they lower the car 1" and the ride isn't that great. why not go 2"?

We installed an Eibach springs for an xB into an xA last week. It fits just fine but the rear only dropped an inch (supposed to be 1.6 or 1.8 I can't remember).

Here's a link for more info.

come out to the meet. some people have TRD, some Spy, some Eibach.

scionaraxb

yeah...according to Eibach's web site the xA and xB are the same part number

xA PRO-KIT 1.5 in 1.6 in 8281.140

xB PRO-KIT 1.6 in 1.8 in 8281.140

I think the only difference in drop is that the xA is lighter, so it drops less.

hmmm. someone should put xA Spy's on their xB for uber-drop

scionaraxb

Question is.......do they have 2 different springs for the different cars.......
I just noticed that they have a 1.25" drop spring............so do they really ride good.even softer then stock?

i wouldnt say the spy is BETTER than stock. possibly just AS GOOD as stock. Im very happy with the ride of my wifes xB on 2" Spy's.
