98+ Sienna

I have the shocks at my house for mine, just never got around to installing them. The tops look the same as for as I can see. I know for a fact the bottoms the bolt hole is bigger and it's not as wide as the xB. I was thinking of just drilling the holes out bigger on my car and using the bigger bolt with some shims on each side of the shock.

Interesting. Have you installed this yet on your xB?

What are the advantages? Is the ride quality better?

Haven't installed them yet. Waiting on my lip kit to come in to see if I even need them first. No real advantage or anything other than being able to sit an inch lower in the rear.

My car has 100,000miles and I'm thinking it may be time to upgrade my struts. I just dropped my car on DF210 - Wife is already complaining about ride quality - Will replacing the struts with the Sienna or a custom made set-up lower the car more/change ride quality? I would like to see a little bit more of a drop with the DF210, that's why I ask

This is more so for bags... static set-ups are a little different. If you want to go low static then I would suggest a nice set of coilovers.. you can control your ride height and on most all coilovers you can change the dampening when desired.

Yeah, that ^^^

The springs are what determine your ride height. We can use the shorter shocks in the rear just to slam the car down farther when we let the air out. Would also recommend a coilover to get more low and better ride quality.
