Default Question?! Yes!

Alright,
So I haven't had my little xB very long. I would like to throw a nice coilover system on it. I have heard lots of good about Function and Form, but I wanted some details from people who have actually put them on their cars. I have a Honda with K Sports, but I know just because they are good for one car does not necessarily mean they are good for all. New to Scions, so not really "hip" on good specialty items.

Thanks!

A lot of people like the K-sports for the xb, its pretty common for the xb's, Ask: NEEK, Pasquale, Snowflakeinvegas, VincentPR and some other guys around here running them. I want to get K-sports for our Xb but it aint happening for a while.

I went from brand new Tein STechs to buying a set of KSports from a fellow user and could not be happier! I have them set really low, but I can still go lower. They ride nice and handle awesome, and I just got an alignment done, and it made me re-love my xB again.

I say, get you a set. Unless you can afford the Tein coils, which I would say get a set of those instead!

I think it is all about, "how low can you go," my little snip it from the song. Anyway, I went with the Tein coil over setup. It is set about as low as it can go. I know the K-sport and the D-2 go lower. But I have a family that rides with me on occasion I needed low but livable. I took it on about a 120 mile total mile trip on the crappy southern california freeway. It rides nice, harsh on the really hard bumps but that was expected as low as it is. I am still riding on stock rims and tires and looking to go to 18's soon, but as far as around here I am probably the second lowest in my area.

Are you rubbing on turns or when you hit good bumps with the stock wheel/tire? Looks sick btw

When I turn my wheel all the way to the right, I rub the fender liner, but that's because when I took my bumper off, I think I knocked it loose. The fender liner is coming out soon anyway so it doesn't bother me.

But no, you shouldn't rub anything with stock wheels/tires and the KSports set as low as mine...

Hey guys.

I love my k-sports... They're affordable well made and once you dial in the ride they ride just a little more stiff then stock. My K-sports have followed me even into my air bag set-up.

When I first got mine, I wanted to lower on stocks too, but Eric insisted we not ;D
