How do the Goldlines compare to Eibachs? I have had Eibachs on all my previous vehicles but I'm not so sure about the xB setup. When I test drove the xB, the dealer had 18's on it and it looked like a 2" drop all the way around would be perfect. But the Eibachs only drop it 1.6" in the front, and 2" in the rear. How much is the drop with Goldlines? Also, what type of warrantee do they have? I think Eibachs are lifetime...

I love my goldlines Bill in Vegas also got me mine great guy... 2" drop is perfect... and they ride 100X better than stock.. youll love it.. do this install yourself..no need for a spring compressor.. its only got enough force to pop the top about 3 inches from the srping.. I stood on the spring and poped the top nut with an impact.. it just flopepd apart.. use the tech forum here for pics of what order they go back together... and what direction they face.. the 3 lugs on the top are not the same.. its oblong in the spcing so they have to go back in only ONE way.. the how to on this site is perfect..

Yeah man thanks for hooking up the right coast Bill. I recieved my goldlines as well.I must first get mine powdercoated black before I install them. It may take a little while but I want to do this right.Can't have a black box with yellow springs. It just doesn't fit the theme. Bill thanks again for the great deal. Hey bill do you sell all black billet grilles as well?

MY east coast brothers, I must first thank you for your business and trusting a new kid on the block. I think you will all enjoy the new springs from the ride stand point and the appearance is great. Now to sweeten the pot, the handling gets better also.

I am putting together a full featured alarm for the DIYer. All the wire are labeled with corresponding wire in the scion, the harness are also labeled. Steering cloumn, kick panel. The harness have all been wrapped in black 3m electrical tape to help camouflage. I also have the installation hardware, 3m butt connectors or t-taps or I will tin the wire ends if soldering will be used. This alarm has a life tiime warranty and the company Accele Vision has been in business for quite some time. My last truck a highly modified 96 gmc had the same alarm that I am selling. I sold that truck and the alarm still worked great even the remote start. I also have the alarms with remote pager and remote start. Same deal all wires labeled. Pm me if interested.

Thanks again, if any question on any product don't hesitate to call me, I can walk through it. Bill Turner Dba Scion Specialties.

Default SPRINGS

Bills the man! He has the best price on the springs and ships them quick! I cant believe how fast they were installed! Took all of 30 minutes to do mine, front and rear. while I was at it I also installed an upper shock stress bar, Looks and rides awesome. Cant wait to see what Bill has comming out in the future! Thanks again and keep up the good work! X boxx

So DJ X got his Goldlines installed at 355Toy/Scion or was this outside? Concerned about warranty.
