OK...I emailed Scion about the springs, they said that the xA and xB are exactly the same spring.

Anybody try the Tein S Tech springs yet?

 

ok, whos going to try Echo springs in a scion?

 

Thanks for the input guys. So are there going to be people at Krispy Kreme this Sunday, or is everone going to the Drift deal at Irwindale?

Eric: Which would you say are better as far a lowering and ride quality, Spy or Eibach?

 

I will!
I will!
Do they ride softer then the Scions???
LOL!

 

you could probably get some echo springs from a wrecked echo.

i dont think there will be a TSW meet this sunday since most of us will be at the drift show.

 

if you guys put echo springs in your scion, the car will be HIGHER than stock. most people don't realize the stock scion springs are "sport springs" and are already lower than the echo ones. stiffer too.

 

is that why the echo looks like it was kicked in the ___?

 

All I want is to take the edge off the ride. Guess I need to go the air route, huh?

 

no. i think if you think the stock suspension is too stiff then you might consider trading in the xB for a nice comfortable camry.

 

(it was a joke....no dis intended)
Nah.I love the car. I just want to customize my suspension to suit me better. Kinda like you, but in a different way. I'm just looking for some suggestions and/or help figuring out what to try.

 

you know...echo springs just might work. they have a softer spring rate, and even though they are taller, they would sit a little lower. so it might work out. try it.

 

Maybe a set of Eibach echo springs? That might cure the height problem, I sure don't want to raise my xB! LOL!

 

but then the ride will be stiff again.

 

I give up!
I'm just gonna bolt a Corvette front and rear suspension in!

 

corvette suspension will not feel right on your car.

just try the stock echo springs. also, do you have big wheels. smaller wheels and bigger sidewall provide a better ride.

 

ok, ok...no 'vette suspension......


Yes I have bigger wheels I put on.....17X7's w/ 215-40-17 tires. I seriously didn't notice a huge difference in ride from the stock 15's. The cornering is much better with them though.

 

what springs do a 2" drop but keep a somewhat soft ride? i do not want to be driving a stagecoach!!

 

trd are not lowering springs eric the're true sport handling spring thets why they can corner better thatn some of the other springs. And the ones i have on my xb are the waydo sportivo frome japan. hey but to each his own.

 

i like the spy 2" springs myself, but it all comes down to personal preference. Ive installed springs on the following:
1.7" Tanabe 1 xB
2.2" Tanabe 1 xB
1.8" Eibach 2 xA's
1.25" Spy 1 xB
2" Spy 1 xA and 6 xB's

 

if i got the 2" spy's am i going to have a similar ride to stock? i had heard that the ride gets pretty rough at times.....
