new drop plus rockblockers
Just got the TRD lowering springs installed today. I'm really pleased with how it looks. I also haven't shown pics of my car with the blue tint rockblockers yet so I thought this would be a good opportunity.
Here's my black one parked behind my wifes. Hers is bone stock so you can see the difference.
Stock suspension rear wheel.
With 18" rims and TRD springs (hasn't settled in yet, might be about 1/2" lower eventually)
Here are the blue Rockblockers. Not the best picture but it looks really nice and way better then stock headlights.

The ride is pretty much the same with these springs. I haven't really gone fast around corners though, so that might feel a little tighter.
Springs were $210 from trdsparks.com
Install was $300 at a local shop. My dealer wanted to charge $600.00 to install!!

Looks real good. I'm up in the air about it. It's already pretty low (as far as the size of the vehicle vs. barely clearing curbs) But this morning I noticed major body roll and that scared the hell out of me cause i'm not all that use to it.

On the new xB's, they are SIMPLE to do the springs.
Seriously, like a few bolts.
You should've got a few buddies and did it yourself for a little
home project. Maybe an install meet.
But besides that, loving that blue rockblocker overlay
on your ride. And the rims make it look even cleaner!

You guys are having to pay for install?
My dealer quoted me the $250 for parts, labor, AND alignment. They claim that is the word from the pacific northwest rep in Seattle...so that is what I paid for everything. That is how everyone Scion part is at my dealer...what the price is online is the price installed with the parts.
