Staock xA, large wheel gap?

Hi All,

What do you mean wheel gap? do you mean the distance of the body to the wheel is too wide? maybe you need to drop the car then it will no longer be a wide gap...

My plan is to drop it eventually. I just didn;t rememebr there being such a wide opening between the tire and car.

According to the Scion Life store ... ~1.0 inch front and rear for both xA and xB.

If you are interested in the drop from other spring sets; check the Scion Life store for additional information.

If you close the wheel gap you will bottom out on just about every bump you drive NEAR! The xA has little ground clearance to the lower edge of the bumper and not much more to anything else.

I run Eibachs on my xA and love them but I scrape the bumper a lot with only a 1.5" drop. Better handling and better ride too. Well worth the $$.
