And to Starbuck, your generation of ladies aren't into air rides. It just so happens that mine is. You know what they say...

Hey easy now I am of Starbuck's "generation" and I like my stuff on the ground!! Of course I ride at a safe respectible height....I would not want to hurt my baby The mods to allow you to fully utilize your air ride are not that hard " Git er done" !!!

Thats funny I see a 50+ year old talking Crap on a forum and wonder what lodged up his @$$

To each his own! If he wants his xB to be dropped and enjoy his car then so be it!
He's not even worth the time to respond to. I agree Most old people don't like lowered cars anyway.

I like the look of lowered box. Mine is lowered somewhat. i think it makes the car look alot better when it's lowered.



If it were a taco wagon it would have spacers on the wheels to skateboard them out to where the inside of the wheel is even with the outside of the car.

Mine has 18" tires/wheels and it sits pretty low. I would like to know what brand of front struts and rear bags they used for your install.

IntenseScion --
Whats wrong with the rims? I think they look pretty damn good against the silver of the car. And who say's airbags are for show? Post up a pic or two of your ride so we can judge it. Are you game? Or lame? --- Humm -- It seems that you might not even own a scion,but are just one of the possers that show up here on regular basis. Your profile is blank - no pics - no info - no nothing!!!
Kinda leads me to believe that your a 10 year old with internet access. Go back to school and grow up!!!!

If by chance I'm wrong -- Show me and I will apologize in public on this site.

Ok time to prove me wrong.
