Default TRD shocks & TANABE NF210 springs?

Does any one have TRD shocks & TANABE NF210 springs combo installed on their xB2?

Becase the NF's are similar to the TRD springs, the TRD shocks should be a great match.

Also, how well do NF's like larger dips?

Thanks,
xB2

As far as I know, I'm currently the only one on the forum with NF210's, and I'm staying with the stock shocks/struts until they need to be replaced or my wallet feels really really flush.

I'll let you know about larger dips when I hit some; I put on a lot of miles, so you shouldn't have to wait long.

I have the NF210's after an experiment with Eibach pro series that almost got me killed by my wife. I think her exact words were:

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY CAR?????? YOU RUINED IT!!!!!"

They were a little stiff. Ok, they were a lot stiff. But remember, I'm old.

The NF's are slightly stiffer than stock, but not the knockout ride that the Eibachs were. Too bad, they handled awesome.

I don't think there's any reason to change the struts from stock with the NF springs. The Eibachs were definately underdamped with the stock shocks/struts.

Tanabe NF210's rock the Scion world, I rest my case.
No need to change shocks and struts with the NF's!!
