So Tein is out of the list simply because i hear too much flames on them...

So it comes down to these two..anyone riding with any of these two? Hows the ride? That is the most important thing for me...comfort. I need coilover basically so i can adjust height if not i would go with springs for better comfort.

 

What negative things have you heard about Teins? Cause I've only heard good stuff about them.

 

only thing i heard about TEIN's
is that they don't go low enough as others.

i have the Progress coils.
so far, so good. only thing negative
about it is that the rears are only springs.

haven't yet 'dumped' my xBiZZLe
but i like them. worth the cash flow.

(pics are only half way down, if that.
it's a two finger gap).

 

Heard it was too rough, not low enough, and the ride is too bumpy. I got a set of Tein Flex, i think, with EDFC on my previous car and the ride was NASTY. It was sooo bumpy i gotta take it out after 1 week used. I got eibach springs after that.

 

hey 2tone, hows the rubbing with those sportmax with a 2 finger gap with the progress? im looking at progress or tanbes right now and i need all the info i can get cause im runnung the same wheels as you are

 

i rub on big bumps.
haven't had passengers yet in the back seat.

since i gotta take 2 of my
gf's friends to prom this weekend,
i gotta raise the coils about 1-2 inches.

hate to hear that rubbing.

 

I've never heard anything bad about Tein coilovers...on most cars they improve handling very well and lower it quite a bit...maybe it's different on xB's though, I'm new to Scions so I'm still learning

 

what about the pearches on the rear, are they screwed on like the teins are or do they just sit on the plate like normal shocks do? Im getting bad ruubbing, im on df210s, and i dont let anyone ride in the back... and coilovers are the most logical move

 

the spring sits on plate.
the plates are the one you adjust.

rolling the fenders as well
is major. i still need to do that.
