@Gutling: Now that you're on 19's, how is the ride comfort compared to your old stockies?
Did you think about getting the TRD Big Brake Kit? I think red calipers back there would really help bring the TRD look together.

The tires are holding up fine, no more noise lol. I guess they were just new and once they got broke in they quieted down.

That Five Axis Kit will look AMAZING on your xB, but I wish you went with a dual exhaust setup, because now you'll have the TRD poking out of only the right hole.
Can't wait to see your xB with red calipers and dimpled rotors!

So was just about to order the 5axis kit, but came across a deal on here in the classifieds. Just bought a TRD s/c, woo. Not full kit, but the few pieces it does have are for the tC anyway. I got a parts list already for what I need for my xB, just trying to find parts numbers to go with my list.

Welcome to SL... your box looks great with the 19" TRD wheels!
Question....
I've had to bring my xB into the dealer three times since I've bought it because of a really loud "knocking" noise from the front end when ever I go over bumps in the road. Each time they've fixed it, I'm told the calipers were loose.
It just baffles my mind that this keeps happening. I mean, it's not like I'm driving through huge potholes or stuff like that.
Have you heard about this happening often in xB's?!

So after buying a supercharger, gathering all the parts for it, I decided to sell it lol and go a different route. I just got off the phone with NST, ordered their lite-crank and water pump pulleys. Should have them before the weekend, pics and install will be coming. Trying to get someone on the phone to order a few other parts, I love the Weapon R neo-titanium colored stuff. I think I am going to swap out my trd cai for the wr one and if I like how it looks go with their torque damper and intake manifold.

Pullies in! Ordered monday, got here today. Great shipping from NST. They look very nice, can't wait to install them tomorrow and see how they work.
PS If you have not seen dyno thread, this is my car right now with TRD CAI and exhaust
