Does anybody know where i can find some aftermarket struts cause i ordered the tanabe df210s and well ive heard about springs ruining struts and making them blow early so i wanted to take care of this by getting some aftermarket ones. So any websites or anything would be helpful...thanks

Tokico makes some adjustable struts for the xb

 

let me guess tokico.com...ive never heard of tokico are they a pretty reliable company?

 

i was just on their website and i couldn't find any applications for any scion...

 

Someone found shocks for the rear off a 300Z or something. Try and find the thread (good luck ;-) ) But for struts, I only know of the TRD option which only gets you half the way to were you want to be

 

never heard of tokico? they are one of the premier stut/shock companies out there. among others are bilstein. those are the only ones i'd really use. but tokico's r awesome

 

that they are!

 

They are a special order item straight from Japan once the vendor/distributor places the order w/Tokico USA. Special order items from Tokico have no warranty and are not recommended for the street. That's what I was told. So your options are Tokico, TRD & KYB AGX possibly.

 

kyb's arent bad especially considering their low price.

 

i have already checked kyb and they don't have any applications for the xB either...so i have kinda narrowed down the choices to well TRD cause they're the only ones ive seen struts for. Plus i don't want struts that don't have a warranty and aren't recommended for street use.

 

So has anybody actually put on any of these struts???

 

Well, I thought about getting the same combo of the Tanabe DF210 springs/TRD struts before..but wasn't sure if that combo will work well together...I might end up getting the tein coilovers instead :?

 

i think im going to go with the TRD struts and the tanabe df210s and i guess when i get both of those i'll tell you how it'll work.

Yup, I'm guessing I'll end up with wagonmasters when my struts go.

 

nice. wagonmasters rock. i think i'll spend an extra 800 or so and get an air kit tho lol .

 

Koni makes a shock set for the Toyota Echo. Jackmott uses them for autocross on his xA.

I think they are the yellows, but I could be wrong.
Anyway, they are a bit more pricey (bout $550 for front and rear), but they will out perform the TRD shocks any day.

 

yeah i was gonna say echo stuff should work ask a toyota guy.
