I want to get lower our 2010 xB but I'm looking for a low ride and as close to stock feel as possible. I have s-techs on my tC and 18" rims and love them but I think the ride is a little to ruff for the family truckster.

I don't really want to spend more then $300 but let me know all that's out there that are smooth.

Thanks!

Then try search, everything out there has been reviewed, discussed and posted.

Good luck.

 

The NF210's have a pretty good ride, to my understanding. The DF210's are pretty decent, too. I've only installed DF210's (4 sets, actually...) and my set of Hotchkis' springs.
I love my Hotchkis springs. My car feels planted and is lower than the DF210's. The Hotchkis specs are fairly close to the DF210's, but for some odd reason, I'm lower.

 

To get a smooth ride I've found the OEM struts and shocks to be too stiff. Try changing over to Monroe sensatracs for a smooth ride. I've been on them for years and do not look back.

 

Do you have a link for the Monroe's for the Gen2?

TIA

 

SEARCH. j/k

 

I did one and could not locate for a gen2, just the gen1.

 

That's because they don't make them for the 2nd-Gen; bB2NER has them on a 1st-Gen.

 

Tanabe NF210 FTW!

But some people would consider me a little biased...

 

I thought that might be the case.

 

Estnet! You're back to the Scion platform. Welcome back my man. How are you?

Anyway, Tein S-Tech would be my vote.

Never really left just slowed down on the modding or came to a halt. I have my '08 tC and still have the '05 that had the built motor but '05 is up for sale. The xB is the family truckster but my wife wants it macked out.lol So little by little the xB will become another daily driven show car.

I won't be leaving the Scion world for a while, I met my wife because of it.

 

Nice! Congrats my man!!!!

 

NF210 gets my vote...

It lowers your car which you want and keeps stock feeling... gives about 5% stiffness.

 

NF-210 My Vote!!!!

 

I have the TRD lowered springs on OEM shocks/struts with Hotchkins sway bar kit. Handles so much better but on those speed bumps, gooooo sloooowwww..

 

Just me:

I swear by the Eibach sportlines... love the ride, better than stock 1.7F/2.2 rear drop.. love em on stock shocks/struts and I love the fact that Eibach sends you the bumpstops and top nuts for the strut housing... come on and $205 shipped to your door... you can not beat that in my honest opinion....On another note I hear them compared allot to the DF's so I guess either one of those if you want a low aggressive look with a good ride

 

It's supposed to be 1.2"F/2.2"R drop, dip you measure a 1.7" difference before & after on your front?

 

The drop is about the same & the ride, almost identical. A friend has sportlines - I have DFs

 

Sorry yeah I meant 1.2 but I think its more like 1.5 after the settling of them it seems lower...lol
