Default Koni adjustable shocks and TRD springs installed

Installed these yesterday. The Konis I got from spy engineering, for around $600. They are single adjustable, you can adjust the rebound rate. The front struts are easily adjusted from the top, just lift up the hood. The rears you have to unbolt at the bottom to adjust.

Overall I am pretty pleased. I think at times I would prefer some linear rate springs instead of progrssive, but I would probably regret it a lot on houston roads too. The car definitely has more grip now and is a lot more fun to toss around. H ave the shocks set just short of full stiff and the ride is perfectly comfortable still.

Ive got an XA, but I presume it would work on the XB as well.

Spy Engineering had some made somehow. The fit is perfect, even has all the bracketry and everything.
