i have a black 06 xA and am not really happy with the way it handles. Since its my first new car i want to keep the warranty, so im thinking of doing the strut bar and springs through the dealership, the question i have is: Is it a bad idea to do the trd lowering springs without also doing shocks and struts? i thought i heard that it will cause the oem shocks and struts to wear faster than normal? Is this true? I would prefer not to change those parts because i dont want to spend the money, and am not going to be racing the car at all, would just like the feel of a stiffer ride...

only other question, i know the trd springs drop the car 20mm... i live in upstate new york, anyone else drive their lowered scion through heavy snow and experience any probs with the ride height?

thanks for any replies-

 

driving in the snow is a blast with this car i have tanabe NR210's its about the same drop as the TRDs with trd struts and shock dampers

ppl on here to lower there cars that are using their stock shock dampers and struts

i haven't yet to get stuck, cause i know some what, what i know, what i'm doing most of the time

 

thanks no one else got any info for me?
