I'm looking to upgrade the suspension on my xb. i want to have a stiffer, more sport like suspension. any suggestions?

I was looking to get Ksport coil overs, but i saw negative comments about their craftsmanship?!?!?

I am open to any suggestions...

Thanks...

 

D2 along with Tein make coilover's for the xB. I hear mixed reviews on the ksports as well. I would do Tokio shocks and struts along with a stiff spring.


Tein S or H tech, Hotchkis and Eibach Sportlines. That will def stiffen up the ride.

 

I'd suggest a set of springs before you contemplate coilovers...Hotchkis offer the best, more balanced drop IMO.
look around the suspension threads and take your pick...

 

I was looking at the Hotchkis stage 1 suspension package. should i keep the stock shocks, or upgrade those as well?

 

I've had them on my car for 14,xxx miles and no issues...they DO put a lot of strain on the stock struts and will eventually go out, but I won't be keeping the car long enough to care....

It's up to you. Most people would suggest to switch but there are plenty of xB and tC owners that have went on for 30k+ miles without them.

 

you have the hotchkis package? how do you like it...do you notice a more sporty ride?

 

Full Hotchkis TVS spring & sway bar kit, along with TRD (KYB) shocks & struts, and you'll have the ride & handling you want. End of discussion, you can stop your internal dialog now.

 

lmfao ^ pretty much that.

it does consist of more $$ being dished out, but ultimately you'll get what you're looking for.

springs are just a quick fix...and yes I did notice a nicer ride...but then again I'm not "investing" all that money on my B
