I would like to say that I wanted them but they do not fit my TC. I actually would like to get the springs for my wife's XA. She is so loving her new car. My wife and I went to a scion meet and she saw two guys pull up in hooked up XA"s . She was so extatic to see these cool looking cars could look like her stock XA. She is shy normarly, but this time she went up to these guys and started to conversate to them about their XA's. I have never seen my wife so happy( besides our wedding) to have a car.

I think that she deserves the shot at having the springs. It's her turn to look cool like the other cats.
I would appriciate if you took a chance and shocked her.

Default Why I would like to win the springs.

I would like to win the springs because my wife would never let me put anything like this on our car (that we just purchased yesterday 9/24/04) if it cost any money. So, please give them to a husband/poor college kid. Thanks alot!

Wll im 20, I work at walmart so you know i don't have the money to get springs. I've had my local scion dealership Gloucester Scion say that hotchkis spring are the best springs you can get on the market, and they have recomended me to buy them. I am not in college i don't even have the money to do that. My last car broke down so i HAD to et a new one, and i chose the scion vecause i like the body style and the gas millage to save on money. I don't live at my moms, haven't been there in almost 6 months. I have 5 bills they are (elec, Phone, cable, scion, and insurance) $1300 in bills a month... I'm even looking on ebay for performance parts...
I have always wanted a hotchkis set and it would be greatly appreciate if i was selected the winner of this contest...

Thanks

I don't deserve to win these free springs. I don't have any family hardships, my wife is cool, I have a nice place I rent for cheap and I have a job that I really like (though it doesn't pay a whole lot). I have bills like anyone else, school loans, credit cards, car payments, etc... but I deal with it. Though I'd like to get a free set of springs to improve my new XB, there is someone more deserving than myself.

i'll start with a little history on my car situation. i've been a vw nut since i got my first car at age 20, and have had 9 volkswagens from then until now (age 23). i never in my life thought i'd be caught dead buying a toyota, until one saturday i got extremely ____ed working on one of my older volkswagens, which was my daily driver at the time. just got tired of constantly working on older cars to keep them on the road as daily drivers, and decided to cut back on some other things in my budget to squeeze in a new car (under $14k).

SO i test drove several makes and models in the price range, and out of sheer curiosity, went to the scion dealer to test drive an xB. i signed a contract that afternoon for my new xB, and couldn't have been happier with it until...

with a little over 1000 miles on the car, i hit a fox doing 55mph coming home from PA late one night (had been fixing a friend's computer 2.5 hours away, was 3 miles from home at 1:30 am). no time to brake, the fox jumped out of the trees along the road without warning. the fox broke the front valance, ripped the bumper cover, bent the radiator support, which in turn broke the AC line behind it, venting all my refrigerant out. then the fox proceeded to make a full rotation around the right wheel, ripping out the fender liner, breaking the windshield washer reservoir, and ripping out the parking light wiring, breaking the headlight housing in the process.

now when i bought the car, the only way i could afford insurance was to have $1000 deductibles for collision and comprehensive. i didn't know that it was cheap to lower the comprehensive deductible (what would have covered the fox hit) until it was too late. so this whole repair needed to come out of pocket, and i did not have the money to do it, so i had to drive the car around w/ the damage, saving to buy each individual piece i needed until i had them.

before i could buy more than i couple of the pieces, i had an accident in the parking lot of my apartment building doing about 5mph...caught the lip of my wheel on a concrete post sticking up from the ground that i couldn't see- bent back the whole left front suspension- control arm, strut, crossmember, as well as bending the wheel and blowing the tire. before i could get stopped it then dragged along the left side of the car, damaging the rocker molding, front door, rear door, and caught the dogleg on the quarter panel, bending it back. thousands of dollars of damage. the suspension crossmember isn't even available- it's still on national back order.

i took out a loan to pay the 2x$1000 deductibles (one comprehensive, one collision), and finally got the car back from the body shop (they bent the crossmember back to where the vehicle at least tracks straight until i can get a new one). I had never had an accident in my life until i owned this car, and it was feeling like it wasn't meant to be...but i decided to tough it out and keep the car, give it another chance. i still love the car, and my initial mod, which i now can't afford, was going to be springs. i'm aiming to work predominantly on handling, and with the addition of the $2000 loan and the new increase in my insurance rates, i will not be able to afford to mod for a good time to come.

i would absolutely love to win those springs. they happen to be exactly the ones that were at the top of my list, and i would certainly follow those up with a number of other hotchkis suspension accessories in the months to come. please help me renew my enthusiasm for my xB!!

Ok here is a few reasons why I should own these springs I do apologize if this sounds a little weepy eyed. However most of you all will understand after I tell you a few stories about not only my scion purchase but what I have been through in the past few years and why scion and scionlife are so AWSOME. First lets go on my purchase, when I bought my scion from UNIVERSITY MOTORS IN MORGANTOWN WV they charged my fiances credit card twice for the deposit. Then they told me to come back the next day so as they could put my stereo however when I came back they didn't have a stereo and they only had one set of hubcaps .... the ones I didnt want to begin with. So I had to wait two weeks for a stereo and when I asked what I should do the dealer said I DONT KNOW GET A BOOM BOX AND PUT IT IN THE BACK SEAT. A boom box for a BRAND NEW CAR .... thats just blasphame. Then when he put my hubcaps on he shoved it on so hard that he smashed the valve stim in between the clips that hold it onto the wheel. well to make a long story short on that ... it sheared off and left me and my fiance stranded. YEA I KNOW THAT YOU ALL ARE LIKE DANG GET THIS KID some violins cause this is messed up why hes crying about things like this and Im sure that there have been alot of stories out here like this but what tops this off is that I JUST GOT BACK FROM IRAQ in JANUARY and my x wife cheated on me while I was over there and I used to have two really nice cars before this and she took both of them. My xb is the first car that I have had since then. Also I had to have a kidney transplant when I was in high school and I have had so many medical bills that I have been unable to customize my car. and some lowering springs and some scion life stickers are just what I need to get my life back together

I deserve them because I can't afford to buy them myself and because I did a lot of butt kissing to get my xB which I pick up tomorrow

I dont really need them....but I want them really bad. I currently have TRD springs in. They dropped the car nice enough. But another guy in our car club has the Hotchkis springs. He took me for a spin.

I like the way they ride allot better, much more smooth, and the drop is much more suitable for the car. I'm currently running Hotchkis sway bars. I will be using Hotchkis strut bars, front and back (little fab work required for this one). I really want to have a full Hotchkis suspension. Not TRD and Hotchkis. Plus I go to as many shows as possible. Scions in Minnesota are a rare thing. This would just be a free commercial for Hotchkis heh

Only requirement I'd have (if I were to win) is a set of red 1"x6" Hotchkis graphics for the windows To keep my red scionlife decals from getting lonly lol.

edit: Heres my list.

1) Hotchkis parts do not void your warrenty
2) Hotchkis parts are the best suspension upgrades available on the market
3) I want the best suspension parts available on the market, on my xB
4) They are better then TRD springs, which I am currently running
5) Hotchkis has the word kis in it. Kisses are great!
6) I will gladly display Hotchkis graphics, or banner on my vehicle. Also, my current display for shows uses the Hotchkis logo. However, my new display will have larger logos, and a more in depth description of what hotchkis parts are in my vehicle, along with spec information and performance benefits.
7) Me winning this will guaruntee you I will be buying a pair of strut braces. Technically you would not lose money in the givaway
8.) I have had my car for 3 months and have already driven 7k miles. This means more people see my car, and will see the Hotchkis logos on my car.
9) I attend a large amount of shows.
10) I will bark like a dog, and embarass myself for your viewing pleasure!

The second reason why I should win...(Besides the fact that I am the only who replied in spanish... :D )

Is because I live in the NorthEast Part of the states (NY-NJ-CT) metro area to be more specific. The import "Scene" here in the NorthEast is not as big as the So-Cal or Nor-Cal scene or Miami scene. My team and I are trying to represent Scion to the fullest here in the NorthEast and attend plenty of Meets, Show and the likes and you would get great exposure here in the NorthEast....What do you say?? :D

I could only think of 5 good reasons for the springs. They are:

5. I need them to be more competitive in car shows.
4. I need the extra performance because my ride to work is 70 miles and much of that is through heavy deer traffic areas. Better control might save my life.
3. My wife keeps complaining about all the money I try to spend on the car.
2. I love the lowered look.
1. The factory springs are dirty.

I should since I just left the military after 12 greuling years of submarine duty. On top of that I just had to buy a house in $$$ Maryland and had a kid at the same time. Now I'm broke with no money to spend on the ride and it just sits there plain jane 24/7!
