Hi i got a black 06 scion xa.i just bought off ebay a set off rims (below details) i will have pics soon this week. my question is anyone have a scion xa with 16" rims riding on stock springs?pictures will help. i just wanna see how it looks.also i willl be getting tanabe springs i think df's cuz they give u the most amount of drop i think 2.0" F and 1.8 R. if anyone kno any springs that drop more and are good please let me kno thank you.
Model- Defuse

Size- 16"x7"

Bolt Pattern - Universal 4x100 and 4x108

Offset- +40mm

Finish- Black with Polish Face

with stock springs

 

Thats the best I got for you the first pic is all stock, second pick is tannabe springs on stock wheels, 3rd pic is tannebe springs on 15's, and 4th pic im on air ride.

The thing we noticed when switching springs from stock to aftermarket is the back NEVER levels out pics 2 and 3 show that. We never did get a straight answer on how to fix that.

This


was our only solution. I got our chapter liaison to sit in the hatch lol.

Good luck on your mods I love my Xa!

nice ride ringo rocks this helps alot man.your xa is sick.how much u paid for the air bags?and the drop with tanabe springs looks good on stock.and the rear doesnt tho loo like it dropped 1 inch.like u said i want it lvled.is there any other springs you recomend that give you a better drop?like 2.0 front and 2.0 rear or 2.5(both)?

 

Thanx, for the props! Ya might wanna do some research because from what I understand the back not dropping is a common problem with xA's and after market springs. I got the air ride at a steal from a guy in Murfreesboro Tn who had it on his xA. I got everything for $900 Im ordering a bodykit tomorrow (if I can finally find one I really like thats not fiberglass) and I'm painting the car as well. Here's a pic of the concept I drew on Photoshop. The kit in the picture is the Fab body Kit.
Hopefully in a couple of months the car will look like that!

If you have any more questions you can e-mail me at myscionxa05@aol.com

 

yeah i hear the fab body kit alot of people have it.since is the nices.and the photo looks kool.i think i might just cuz my stock springs and do an alligment.cuz a 2" drop is not enough as i can see from the pics and i cnt afford 800 dolla air bags or coil my range is about 300 lol

 

You might want to also check out www.team-ist.net there is a lot of info on xA's there

 

There are no springs out there that give the rear a good drop on the xA. We are going to air soon. and even still you cant lay the rear bumper on the ground, well not with the fab kit since its angle up. But you can run coilovers or bags and you will really get the drop you are looking for. I can build most air ride kits for about 1600. Randode.com also sells kits for the Gen1 xb, which is the exact same for the xA. His kits are nicely priced. My wifes xA is on gold line springs, but the fronts are cut, so thats why the front is so low, and the back is so high. Its awful.

 

I ordered the vfiber fab kit should be in in the next couple of weeks, I have my fingers crossed it will work out. I've heard horror stories of kits damaged upon arrival, and also because its part fiberglass I'm worried it will tear easily. Anyone know anybody who has one or an all fiberglass kit?
