Default I want HKS SF5 Springs...

Anyone have these? A friend of mine with an echo has Super Form springs from HKS meant for the xB and he got a huge drop, and he said their comfy cause their progressive rate. I can't find super forms for sale anywhere only SF5 for the xB.

I've found cheaper then that site, i'm just wondering how the drop and comfort of these are? I have Megan Racing springs on now and the rear didnt drop as much as i wanted it too, and also they're friggin uncomfortable, their like autoX springs, they have really thick coils compared to stock and their not compressive rate. I also see a lot of you are happy with the drop on the Tanabe's, what do u all suggest i do?

hmm AFAIK, HKS never made springs for the xB... only coilovers...

I checked their site and they still have nothing showing the xB as an application

search google for "HKS SF5 Scion", all the links are online stores selling the springs for the xB, i'm pretty sure they were made for the xB, i think only in Japan but some stores seem to have them over here. I know that these springs have a huge drop, because my friend can barely put 1 finger between his REAR tire and the body panel on an Echo, i wonder how big of a drop an xB would have because it's heavier?!

They are the Super Forms that the SF5s replaced.
And they were too low for my new home so they're on sale at e-bay.

Definitely! I didnt mean to down your HKS btw, if i was keeping the echo i'd buy them from you, lowest drop from springs alone for our car that i've seen!

But the wheels and springs are goin on the xB as soon as i get it :D

When's it coming? I was tempted to swap the echo too, but I had to keep the payments in mind.

I can't list anything in the classifieds till 60 posts. That's why I mentioned the springs :D
