I have them with the TRD springs and they were awsome!!

BUT^^^The shocks wore out before I had 30k miles on them. Now I'm saving for a good set of coilovers.

Hope that helps.

I never looked into it either, but the other TRD parts have a separate warranty and is not covered by the Toyota one, at least that is what I remembered.

If it was dealer installed it's covered under the 3 year / 36 k miles warranty or else the part is warrantied under 1 year / 12k miles

I like my trd springs and shocks setup, the ride seems more controlled up and down (firm, not harsh)

If not purchased when you bought ur xB then you have only a seperate 12 month warranty on them.

Cool, thanks for the info.

Next question...I bought it in Mass. and my permanent address is in Louisiana, but currently live in Ca. If I have a problem, how will the dealer I take it to know I had them installed at a dealer and not another shop? I never got an invoice or any paperwork for these parts...just picked it up and waved goodbye...VIN number maybe?

All service department have a customer database where they can pull up your record. If the Toyota service department gives you a problem you can tell them which dealership you got it installed and they can give them a call. But usually if it was installed properly they won't give you a problem.

If any dealership give you a problem, talk to the service manager. And if the manager doesn't solve your problem tell them that you'll give them a poor CSI score and call their scion regional rep about the problem.
