Hi all,
So this is my first post here on scion life and I'm real excited about getting involved in the scion community. I am the proud owned of a mostly stock 2004 Scion Xa Auto. And I'm looking for suggestions on mods. Existing mods are: Front Stabalizer Bar, K&N Air Filter, Added Grounding Points, and Some spiffy seat covers. Now a bit about my driving style, Fast and Hard, I've pushed this car to the 120 mph limit and taken it's stock handeling to the extreme and now I'm looking to amp it up a step. I'd like more power, better handeling, and a body kit I think. I'd like suggestions of mods and manufacturers as well as suggestions on where to start and the like. Thanks for your time!

 

Gotta lower it! Get some springs or coilovers, then do some power mods like intake, headers, exhaust.

 

So drop it alright easy enough, question though. Friend of mine told me that I should fab up some brackets so I can use front sprins in the rear as well any comments on this?

 

sounds like crazy talk, dont do it. spring rates alone are enough reason not to.

 

Are these worth the price?

those are not low enough in my opinion.
If you're going to replace stock shocks/struts too, might as well go coil overs with your driving style.

 

yea get coilovers. and supercharge ur xA!! :D that would be fun!

 

OK...

I have one question, how did you push the Auto xA to 120?

URFOS.



oh and for an answer to your question, put some springs on it.

 

Well he has longer gearing than manual transmission. Last time I was at 6250rpm in manual transmission it was around 112mph, so yea he can do 120. it just takes awhile
chill out man I thought we're family

 

FYI... the auto has a speed limiter on it.

 

o I didn't know that. Strike my last. What speed does it limit to

 

Not enough drop on those? Hum, I don't want too much of a drop because I plan to put a body kit on it and that will have most likely a 1 inch drop as is and I don't want it to ride so low it scrapes on everything especially with the way some of the roads around here are.

 

While I thank you for the answer to my question, I didn't come here to lie about my cars performance. Unless my speedo is wrong I have taken the car to 120 mph, alabite downhill, but none the less. The govener that is on the Xa is a rev limiter that would normally chop the car at about 102-110 mph depending. I'm not going to lie about the performance of a car almost everyone reading this post owns. And please kindly don't use profanity in my thread.

 

What profanity? All I see is an acronym.

 

come on guys we're all family here, just leave it

 

Alrighty, so back to the topic at hand. Are those Anti-Roll bars really worth it? I've noticed a bit of body roll on the corners at higher speeds.

Example:

Get a rear anti-roll bar, don't bother with the front.

Upgrade the shocks and springs, use a quality shock like Koni, or go coilovers. Ground Control coilovers with Koni shocks is a very effective setup and won't hurt the wallet.

 

hit me with da link man !
