anyone know how to reduce the freeway bounce on the scions? i know the sport tuned suspension will give it that ride quality but we have a customer that's interested in limiting the freeway bounce. i told him that changing the shocks might help but are there shocks out there for an xB that are not designed for a firmer ride.

any info would help.

 

You gotta change the stock springs out for something aftermarket to get rid of that annoying bounce.

 

maybe swap the suspension for a 1992 cadillac sedan deville or equivalent suspension. that might help. or just refer them to their local cadillac dealer so they can be comfy when they drive.

seriously, sell them the TRD springs. that will help i think. i haven't tried them though. i know when i put goldline springs it smoothed out the ride a lot on the freeway.

 

so you guys are saying change the springs not the shocks. i have feeling though that this guy will not want to lower his car.

 

A 1 inch drop isn't that noticable :D

 

In addition to the shocks you might check to see if the Echo shocks would be a direct fit on the scion(should be). I would think they would be valved softer.

 

That would depend upon how tall the wheelstops are when the driver forgets how low the skirt is!

tein wagon dampers are awesome
and tein super street is coming out.

once we replace the shocks all around, the ride is A LOT
smoother, less 'messy' when u hit bumps, and is very comfortable

 

tein all the way.....leave it to the experts.....and the H-Tech springs only lower an inch....doubt your customer will notice....
