We put in my Teins today. I didn't want to slam it and these springs are perfect for my needs.
The handling has improved and the ride with the Monroe 5987s is nice and smooth. I give them a thumbs up. :D

burstaneurysm

They're the $5 worth of black paint type.

Ian... I'm glad everything worked out! I was nervous there for a minute.
The new ride height looks great. Do you have any full side shots of your car.......before and after?

burstaneurysm

Thanks again Matt. I'll take one today, I wanted to wait until it was light out again.

Ya, I have the s-techs, and they are alot lower, but that looks really good! That's the first box with h-techs that I have seen!! Oh, and about your hubs....I did the same thing, but in gunmetal!!! I think it looks so much better!!

i have the h techs too and am thinking about the monroes.
do they make a real difference?

burstaneurysm

The monroes are really nice, for $50-60 and 15 minutes worth of work; they make the ride smoother.

The H Techs rock! I got 'em on my Box...

Did you undercoat or spray paint the wheel wells too? Looks like there is some texture behind the wheels in one of the pics. If so, that seems to make everything blend together better too. Can't see the shocks, etc.
Did you only change the back shocks to the Monroes, or all?

Lookin' good. The xB look 1000 times better with a good pair of springs.

ryuji16

ANY car will instantly look better when it sits lower.

imo, it should be the first mod done by anyone who has any kind of plans to modify his/her car (hopefully, done the right way).

burstaneurysm

I didn't do anything to the wheel wells, I guess the darker cars must've seen some darker overspray. I only changed the rear shocks over to the Monroes; I didn't really see the need to change the struts.

How many inches did they drop you? I want lowering springs but I don't wanna get them to lower the car too much and have my car scrape going into driveways and stuff like that.
