I guess I am the only one with eibachs in here. I like the ride quality and the fact that they lower me 1.6 and I can still manage driveways with my 18s. Feel great look great and not a bad price. But I strongly reccomend talking to "scionscpecialistvegas " about your spring install and get some advice from him. He knows the roads in your area better then me. :D

Just got my Goldlines in yesterday (Thanks to Bill in Vegas) Hes da man... ANyhow I recomend them 120% I have had alot of lowerd cars on all differant setups.. and this is one of the most enjoyables rides.. its a 80% improvement over stock just in comfert and no more bouncing around.. and then there is the tight lay flat cornering.,. I love these springs... and 2" on 18s is perfect..

I used to have Spy springs. I don't think it will matter what 2 inch drop you get, you WILL have some bounce. Why? Because the stock shock has less travel due to the drop. I liked the Spy springs since they rode alot softer than stock, but it did bounce. My xB rides even better now since I have the TEIN coilovers. I haven';t ridden on Goldlines, but it seems that more peeps are going to them. Alot of peeps are on Spys as they were the only ones available in the beginning. Tanabe DFs are just plain hard to get, but I hear they ride nice also.

I like the Eibach's as well. The ride improved alot over stock and they sit nice and tight without being too slammed and worrying about any rubbing.

Ryan...u gotta get some coilovers...that's the best way to go lower.

I believe Brad (squirrel) has coilovers with Goldlines...and it looks tite.

Don't even attempt to cut ur coils...u'll regret it. it'll look nice..but ur ___ will be bouncing off the seat while driving.

Looks great Ryan.! It's refreshing to see other Scions with wide wheels and low offsets!! Badass dude.

Peace,

I would say Tanabe's. They have a 2.2" drop for the front and a 2" drop for the rear.

Default Eibach Springs

I just installed Eibach on my xBox and luv the way it looks and drives. It's not too low and it feels the same as stock to me. I am sure there must be a differnce in the ride but it's too small for me to notice. I am very satisfied. Eibach is OG. That's my opinion but if I would have went with another spring I might be saying something different.
I think we should be measuring the distance from the ground not the distance from stock height. I am going to start a new topic asking for ya'll with different springs to measure the ground to the bottom of the body kit in the front and back so we know what kind of ground clearance we are getting.
