Default Five axis lip kit & question about lowering the box

Hello guys, I have a couple of question about the five axis lip kit for the scion xb 2008, I was wondering where I can place an order for this lip kit, I went to my local dealer and they told me that they are not selling it because its an aftermarket, but when I looked at the site, optomizescion.com, it states there that I can order the lip kit in a dealership and plus they don't know the answer to my question and clearly they don't have any idea of what i'm talking about. One more thing, I was planning to drop my car and I know I must have the lower spring kit, I want to know if I need to change the suspensions too? What are the parts I need to buy for me to be able to do it? What are the drawbacks for lowering a car? Thanks!

Your dealer is a moron, you can order the Five Axis kit thru your dealer, you need to educate them, I had to do the same.

Lowering it requires only the springs.

Drawbacks? That your car will look better than the people who didn't lower theirs and they will be jealous.

Man that kit looks nice.

But yeah, no drawbacks. Well, be careful about bottoming out and scraping gthe front and back bumper... all steep inclines go at angles. Learned that the hard way.

agreed

but, skip the ignorant dealer and just buy your 5Axis kit from TRD Sparks HERE

cheaper than what the dealer will charge you, free shipping, and no taxes on it...

Not all dealers offer the Optomize program, So that could be why t they wouldn't have it, however I'd recommend going back to the dealer and asking if they offer it, and if not, then if they know which dealership does.
