Default Goldline Springs !!!

Just want to say thanks to Bill (scionspecialistvegas) for great and FAST service, I had my springs in two days, got them installed yeterday, Ride quality is not bad at all compare to other lower car I have been driving, on freeway you can feel the road more but regular driving I can not feel anything. After drop I got about 1.5" all corners but this morning I have 2" in rear but not in fron, again best spring for the money, The only issue that I have (May be this the way it should be) When I pass over a bump or a hole no matter what speed or which tire, I hear this loud BLUMP (clicking) sound comming from the corners (suspensions), like the car is botteming out or something, does anyone have this issue ?? Thanks again Sean

Did you cut the bump stop in the front struts? cuz if u don't ... u 'll be bottoming out like u're experiencing.

here's the explanation and reason for trimming the bumpstop...

In order to maximize the performance and ride quality of your Gold-Line coil springs, it is necessary on certain applications to trim the factory bump stop as described below.

Bump stops can easily be trimmed with a small hacksaw. Simply find your application and measure accordingly for the amount to be trimmed. It is recommended that material be removed from the top section of the bump stop. Trimming the bump stop will provide additional suspension travel (lowering a vehicle reduces suspension travel). This will insure a more comfortable ride. Bump stops are typically found on the shock / strut shaft beneath the dust boot. Always re-install bump stops. Failure to do so will result in permanent shock and/or strut damage.

for Scion xB... recommended bump stop trim for the FRONT struts is 1" trim.
