I had goldline's installed a few days ago on my xB and I am very happy with them. The ride is as good if not better than stock. The handling is much better and the 2" drop looks perfect. I got them for $199 installed.

Goldlines, Baby. Can't compare to any springs other than stock, but after driving stock for two months, i could really tell a difference. Especially in the corners :twisted: What a difference 2 inches can make...

You know it baby I think they're funny. Between those and the looks the Box itself attracts, people are constantly looking. Not that I have a need for attention or anything

They aren't the cheesiest ones with the flames, only the inside spins... excuses excuses... but they spin for several minutes after I stop and as someone told me at a Scion meet, " I spent $1000 on wheels and tires and my kid can't stop talking about your hubcaps."

BTW, they are temporary until I get my wheels... :oops:

You should've checked with Bill. You could've saved 30-40 bucks

I think it would have been better to buy it from bill since he's on the boards more then robear. And the personal customer service for finding a shop to help you install is awesome too. Robear doesn't do that, Bill does. :D

TANABE DF210!!!!! 2.2" drop in front, 2" drop in back. Perfect stance, better than stock ride. I couldn't recommend them more.

Gabe, thanks for the plug, We all carry reputable products. I try to go the extra mile for customer service and do all follow ups personally. I'm not a dealer of goldline springs, I AM A FACTORY AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTOR OF GOLDLINES SPRING. I offer the same warranty and we also install. All of the products that SCION SPECIALTIES offer have been field tested and found 100% reliable. Those product include Lowering springs, Alarms( 2 way fm pgers with remote start), Subwoofer enclosures, and in car video systems,probably the first scion with a karoake system.

Did I mention I own an Xb and I am an active member in two clubs. Scion Evolution and Scin Scity Scion.

I try to accommidate my customer by fielding questions, that they my have prior to and after the sale. If my product is not what they are looking for then I refer them to someone else. I want to keep my customer satified, not here is my my product buy from me. I refer installations in socal(www.scionsporttuning), Norcal(www.PrescisionMuffler.com), Arizona, and I currently looking in other regions to refer installs to.

We all want to help each other, and take care of customers, lets not take shots at each other.I digress. Bill Turner
