dude i wanna see your car so freakin bad haha. im glad i stumbled across this thread b/c i have cusco camber plates sitting in a box on my tv waiting for me to put them in and i had NO idea where the washers went.

 

Yeah, it appears the placement of those washers/spacers is key to having your car handle correctly. Mine is handling perfectly now that I have those washers where they belong.

Now...to get the back to drop even with the front!

 

Mikey...I did some searching here and I found another post you wrote where you said the rear shocks you were using were from a Sienna minivan. I found part #37243 for Monroe Sensa-Tracs that's the same for every Sienna minivan, but I can't find any info on the specifics of the shock. Could this be the rear shock you are talking about?

 

Wow, ive been so busy gettin my box back together... i still havent checked. But my box is DONE! Promise ill check tomarrow. Sequoia/sieanna honestly im not sure. ill get the #'s off the shocks themselves. Be on the lookout soon for a thread in XB lounge with pics. Just waiting for some SUN here in DC. NOW we get rain /sigh >Mikey

 

Awesome! I can't wait for the info and to see the pics of the completed box...this oughta be something to see!

 

Mikey...I'm sorry to keep resurrecting this thread, but I would really like to know what shocks you are running on the rear of your xb so I can pick some up.

 

Yo, sorry for the delay... been a busy week w/ it bein the end of the month and all... heres the #'s off the struts 37243st P026z IDK where i came up w/ the 4*** number. oh heres a pic of the finnished bow and my camber f/r.



hope this helps ya out! >Mikey

 

Thank you VERY much for the #'s....gonna pick those up today.

Your ride is sick! Absolutely amazing! I am jealous for sure.

 

I installed the #37243's this afternoon. They have a lot shorter stroke than the stock shocks and now the rear hits full height at about 50psi and is almost exactly the same height as the front at full lift.
I'd still like to get just a bit lower in the rear, but it is MUCH better than the stock shock height. I'd say the front only goes about 1/2" - 1" lower than the rear at full slam now.

Thanks again for the numbers on those shocks, Mikey...it rides and looks much better now.

 

Sigh... Yet another shock part number with no specs to go by. (Yes, I checked the Monroe site.)

Thanks for the contribution though Mike. Looks like 1" more and you'll be sitting just right at full drop.

 

wow, i just finished installing my ES air-struts and you guys weren't kidding, possitive ___ camber lol. I can't let my front all the way down with 18x7.5 +38. My questions is, for the time being until i can get the cusco's, can i use eibach bolts to at least get rid of some of the positive camber? i already have the kit and never used it with my tanabe's, just wondering

 

If you've already got the camber bolts, I say it can't hurt to try. I've never used them myself, but everyone I talked to said they won't give you enough adjustment to get rid of the positive camber. Even after I put my cusco camber plates on and had them adjusted all the way negative they'd go, the alignment shop still had to give it some more negative camber just to get it back to zero and even more (obviously) so I could tuck the front wheels/tires.

 

ok .. how did the shop give it more after the cusco plates? just curious for future reference

 

I have -1.25 on the fronts with ES struts. good enough for now. Now to only figure out to get -3...

 

The alignment shop said there was adjustments of some type for the camber and there was enough left to give me some negative. I really don't know what they adjusted as I am definitely no alignment specialist.

 

k thanks, i guess i'll be getting an alignment soon

 

where can i get these camber plates?

 

Get ahold of MyBox here on Scionlife or email him at jdmpalace@gmail.com but be warned they aren't cheap. I'm not saying they aren't worth it, but just that they are expensive.

I got mine from him.

 

Storm, did you have any clearance issues with the bags on the ES struts once you cambered them in? I'm sure they come close to those bolts sticking through the strut towers

 

thats the only problem i had. clearance of the bag was fine....
