Air Ride?

Does anyone know if any toyota/scion shares the same brackets for the rear end/macpherson strut as the xD? I'm SERIOUSLY looking at doing a good air ride setup on the xD probably around end of January to mid February...

i wonder how much modification it would take to make the xD sit lower than the picture on the air runner site. atleast to make it as low as the other scions up there

you would need custom brackets in the rear with shorter bags and shocks... and in the front you wouldnt be able to the the airrunner strut it is set where it it is.. you can run like a univeral air system and cut the bottom perch off the shock and smooth it out and then re weld the perch 1 or 2 inches lower or perhaps fine shorts shocks that mound the same way as the stock ones.. which is what most first gen xb's do... and it would do the trick... but alot of work and hassles.. not to mention potential problems... cuz you wont have as much lift... and lets say if you do blow a bag your gonn mess some major stuff up if you car drops at lets say 30 miles an hour... so like i said it is all about quality stuff.. and airrunner is top of the line : ) as for the picture.. im not sure it may go lower that kit was the prototype kit and due to wheel fitment it may have hindered the full drop

Another way to bring it down is to just use smaller wheels. Im rolling on 15"s now and im pretty low just on Tanabe DF210s. If I have alot in my back seat I tuck. Does anyone know how low from stock that these can drop?
