Are you going to change the shocks to some TRD ones?

Randode, I see a spring compressor in your pix. Do you need it for the front and back or just the front?

*EDIT* Nevermind, I completed the install of the TRD springs on the rear. It was a piece of cake. You can leave the tire on and I used the handle to my floor jack as leverage against the tire. There is a good hole you can use as an apex near the strut to put the end of the handle into.

I spoke to the folks at TEIN the other day and they are already hard at work on springs,basics,and Super streets for the XB2. They said they will all be available later this year.

BUT I WANT THEM NOW!!!! Anybody hear anything about bag kits for the new XB yet?

I have billet bag brackets for the rear of the new xB, the front is in the works.

How difficult are the fronts? I can't imagine them to be too hard. Dealer wants to charge about $260 for installation on a new Scion, which I think is a crate load of carp. The rears do look very simple though.

Thanks,

it looks like the new xb have the same suspension that the tc has right randy?

oh yeah, on your 2nd to the last pic
not sure if you tightened up that nut on the strut all the way, double check that one.


bigballer: its not that hard to install. should be done within a few hours.

the bolt is tight, my camera man got a little eager.
the front is more Camry than tC, the rear is similar to xB1.
