What springs?

Most people seem to have 2" Spy or Goldline springs. I think it's split as to how many 18" and 17" wheel owners there are out there.
Personally, I have 1.25" Spy springs, stock struts, 17x7.5 wheels with 40 series tires.
Mine rides better than stock, it's not as bouncy as the stock springs.....they were too linear.

The ride is exceptionally well with the Eibachs, 1.8r, 1.6f
I am used to coilovers and was very pleased with the Eibachs, as they are holding me over until I out the coilovers on.
I am on 215/35/18's

Goldlines are awesome!
can't beat it for the price... if u need them go to DB Motorsports in Chino Hills and ask for Jody..tell him that Alex sent ya from Scionlife. $200 installed.

i doubt anyone has any clearance prob with 2" drop regardless of the springs manufacturer. TRD springs are over priced and rides stiff...not to mention doesn't look like much of a drop with its 1.25"

I think the ride is excellent, even with the 18's

It seems that no matter what springs everyone used they like the springs they got. That must mean there are no sucky springs out there what so ever. I just want to make sure I dont have alot of bounce to my xb and no rubbing at all with 19"s on. Thanks for everyone replys so far, I hope to see alot more. :D
