mine are white ... they came like that

 

Yes Tanabes are white. i have those too. the wife loves the ride man.

 

I have tanabes mine are brown from all the dirt hitting them.

 

dude just bag it an been done with it........lol... just kidding... but for real.. go stock to a show, look at all the cars and see what you really want to do... then make a decision trust me with the group thats on here... one of us has something that you can get trust me on that... but i will warn you of this..... its an addiction.. you start you cant stop believe that......... ask anyone.....

 

I definately wanna bag it, eventually, jsut don't have that kind of flow right now. So until then I can prolly afford to put new springs. But don't I need to change struts and shocks when i do that? I want to do it right. How much do the tanabe's go for?

(wow, capt. pooty posted on my thread!)

 

As listed above 150 new 40-80 used check the classified for used that is how I bought both sets

 

Keith,

You have made it man. Capt. Pooty on your thread.... heck we have a hard time getting him to come to our shows.... maybe one day we will get him over here..



nothing but love....

Most everyone drops on stock shocks/struts. I think the Tanabes run 150=175

 

I think last time he didn't come because he heard you were not making the Famous burgers and dogs. What I missed was the chef hats. I kept thinking when are they going to get the chef hats and then I would remember you were not cooking.

 

do i really wanna go with used springs?

I heard that factory shocks/struts aren't made for a 2" drop and therefore would not give you a good ride, or at least as well aride as they could. does that make sense?

 

True, stock struts are not made to handle the 2in drop, however many people have been running them without complaints. The valving still good enough to "absorb" the impacts.

 

search for this and you will find your answer. trust me.

 

????

 

used springs, i wouldnt do it, since they are soo cheap.

struts, look at my answer above.

 

No search the keyword "springs and stock shocks" and you should find threads related to your question

 

Okay I searched, looks like 50/50. I'm not able to order the springs yet, we'll see what the money situation looks like then.

 

im stock... still trying to get used to my car since i got it last week

 

I also searched the classifieds, nothin. Oh well, I think I would feel better with new springs any way, I've already got 200 miles on my xb and I love it the more I drive it! I noticed last night it reminds me alittle, just a little of my old lowrider, just a little bounce.

 

what is so special about pooty?

 

I dunno, I guess I just like the fact he has "pooty" in his name. I wish . . . .ah nevermind.
