Ok so im thinking of putting goldlines on with 18's. Has anyone would had any problems with rubbing. As for comfort how do they ride? Will need new shocks/struts to improve comfort?

thanks

thanks kinglou for the comparison pics..definitely the xb has to get lowered...there is indeed a big difference

 

Kil, thanks for the plug, they do look good, I remmber the sc3 lowerring day, it was fun and yes Stretch is still a winer. Bill

 

Mine dropped w/ TRD 1.5" on 19" R1 Racing rims. I love the look, and the ride.

 

Scionlife member Jun, bought springs from me back in January, and he lowered his polarhite with 18's it look really great, the lowering is not the problem, it is buying rims with the propper offset is the trick.

There are peeps running 20's with a lowerring kit on and have no problems once again, is the right offset on the wheel. We have a girl in our chapter who purchased an used Xb with 18,s but the offset was wrong and the rims caused the tire to rub. I have lowered a c3 cars with 18's and one with 19's using goldlines and had rubbing issues.

To answer the second part of your question, about changing struts and shocks, in my opinion I would say no. I have 26,000 on my car with lowereing springs and 17" tires and It still rides great. I lowered mine with 800 miles on it. The lowerring spring will contrbute to premature strut and spring wear out, but not at the dramtic rate that some people think. I would venture to maybe at best, 15% faster. Remember these cars haven't been around long enough for us to know for sure, but I haven't heard of anyones front end collasping because of lowering spring that were properly installed. Bill

 

Befor with 18's

After wirh 18's and Goldlines.

Note: I flipped the 2nd picture around to face the same direction as the first so it would be a lil easier to compare.

 

ok so I don't want rubbing............. what would be a good offset to avoid this problem?
BTW many thanks for answering my questions you have been a big help.....

thanks

No they are Megan Racing Springs. www.meganracing.com They don't have the Scion XB listed on their site, but if you call them up they are $120 shipped.
