I'm not well versed on the xA, well, or the xB either for that matter, but for the xB I would go w/ either Goldlines or Tanabes.

The perfect springs would have to be the RS*Rs for the xB and xA!! Great ride and a perfect drop! You can't go wrong with the RS*Rs. :D

I have the Goldlines. They look great, but they make too much noise.

remember that the drop on an xA is not the same on the xB. Unless specified by the manufactuer.

they are in my room waiting to be installed in the spring. and since there seems to be no signs of snow they might go on sooner

Dustin, you/ve seen my ride ... Gold-Lines are the way to go. I got mine from Stylis, but I am sure someone can hook you up with a GREAT ScionLife deal. (that's a hint for you Gabe ... LOL)

Really, you will love the Gold-Lines.

The goldline springs are for sale in the Scion Central website already. ( www.stylis.net ) :D

The RS*Rs are a premium spring that handle great in the corners and have the most comfortable ride I have had.

I thought I needed struts, but learned that it was my tires that were bad. So I am still on stock struts with the RS*Rs(2in drop) at 33,000 miles on the car. Hope this helps.

Springs are like opinions these days. Look at the pics, review the opinions, and pick what you think is best. Almost everyone's going to say what they have is best.
