Default Five Axis, TRD, Goldlines and custom exhaust

Heres some pics of what we have done so far with the Avondale Scion xB2.
Fiveaxis kit, Trd rear swaybar, front strut bar, TRD 19" wheels, custom exhaust and 2" front and 3" drop Goldlines (thanks to randode for the help on the suspension). There is still more going on with this xB but time is the issue right now and hopefuly we'll get the rest completed soon.

Man-o-man, does this make me miss Arizona SO much more. It's good to see so many people from my neck of the woods on here. I used to live right by Avondale Toyota/Scion too. At 101st and Camelback. I'll be coming back this coming weekend though and I'll be bringing my box too! Maybe I'll se some of you around? Yes?

P.S.
If anybody knows of a good place to go get my Pioneer Avic-D3 installed in the Phoenix metro area, please let me know. I'd rather support a local or small Arizona company than a California or national chain. Thanks guys, I appreciate it!

The local muffler shop did an awesome job with it. It is functional on both sidea and is 'Y' piped at the flange where the stock muffler was. The muffler is eliminated and actually sounds great, its not loud at all surprisingly.

Are there any issues at all with such a large drop? Rubbing, issues when turning, going over speedbumps, scraping anything anywhere at any time?

No rubbing "yet".. Wheels are the TRD 19x8 with 235/35/19 tires. The drop is 2" front and 3" rear, and the only real issue is the front lip sits so low it scrapes some of the larger dips and driveways in town.

I'm planning on going with 18's and if I understand you correctly the only reason you're rubbing/scraping as of right now is the front lip of the much lower than stock Five Axis kit, correct? How long have you had the springs? In other words, have they settled all the way?
On my Jetta I scraped off an O2 sensor over a speedbump, after $500 to repair it, I'm wary of such things now.
