sorry about the quality......I had to use my camcorder's still capture to do this.

wheels are HP racing Hurricanes 17x7 w/215-40-17 tires.

NICE! I can't wait to get my springs installed!

 

What springs do you have??

 

I have the spy 2". But my dad drives the car the most so he wont let me install them yet.

 

hey scionaraxb

your xB looks good with the 1.25" drop on Spy's! i think it looks better than the TRD drop myself....

i like the look and think i will go with the Spy's...... i plan on getting 215/45/17's next time so i think with the 1.25" drop it would fit those tires easily too....

 

you guys will love the better ride with the SPY's

 

thats a nice drop. I'm still waiting on the RS*R springs so we could compare 1 day

 

Where does one purchase the Spy 1.25"s? Thx.

 

I got mine from Jason @ scioned.com

the spy's kick butt. Actually drive better then stock and the TRDs too.

 

car looks good man

i'll be selling my spy 1.25" within the next week if anybody is interested. about 2000 miles on em.

 

you can get them through www.scionmag.com for $159....

just tell Jason that you saw the price on scionmag.com....

 

Your xB looks really sweet! I'm pretty much sold on a Spy 1.25" drop. I was going to go with Goldlines but I'd rather not do a 2" drop. BTW, did you leave the stock shocks on there or change them out as well? Thanks.

 

Thanks.

stock struts....rides great.

 

when you say better ride, what do you mean?

thanks

 

It rides BETTER then stock springs. It takes the edge off bumps and is MUCH smoother then stock. To me, the spy springs with one person in the car rides as smooth as when I had 4 people in the car with stock springs. Does that make any sense?

 

yeah it makes sense....

the way i see it, the 1.25" drop does not compress the struts as much as a 2" drop....so it would not be quite as bouncy as the 2" drop [do you have any thoughts on this eric?]

and the fact that they are compressed a little would give it the same feeling as if you had a load in the xB....

did you transfer the covering from the original springs over to the Spy's? i hear some people having trouble with noise [binding?] with some springs....

 

I read that too...only AFTER I'd put my springs in.....no noise at all.....and I've had 4 people in it for a 100 mile trip. I do have the original covers in my toolbox....I took them off the stock springs before I threw them away.

I'm telling ya....buy the Spy's! You won't redret it..and its simple to install yourself.

 

Looks nice... i would have gone with a 45 series.

 

nice drop... scionara

but for me, i personally like the 2" drop... not to mention it rides smoother too. clearance is not a problem... i never had to angle over any speed bumps. i even run it through the local car wash without a problem.

i run 215/45/17 on mine...no rubbing at all either. it's an awesome combo. but, i'm eagerly looking into getting bigger rims... thinking of going 225/35/18... i'll sacrifice abit of ride comfort for looks..haha.

here's a pix of my ride from the Pomona Showoff last month... and yes, i have nothing but praise for GoldLines...they are affordable and quality is unsurpassed.
