has anyone used these? I know this sounds strange but I like them because they are purple I was going to get gold lines and get them painted purple but these are already done. Here is a link for them on ebay

thats ok, I have decided to get them any who,

 

Sounds like a nice drop at a nice price. Win win deal. Let us know how they ride Bro!

 

Did you ever install them?? Any good??

 

yes, I did, and there great, just need to get the monroe sensa tracs and it will be perfect, the back is stiff because of the stock shocks, other wise it rides great.

 

here is a pic

 

That looks like a nice drop. What is the advertised drop for them and how low did they actually go?

 

I believe it was 2 and 1.8 and this picture was taken about a month or so of going back and forth to work weekdays, so if any settling were to occur it had in this pic, I have not noticed really any change since I put them on. IF there was it was inperceptable.

 

your right about the ride. NOw
get the monroe 5987's and you will be all set.

 

Actually I see them as 2.0/1.6 ?? the Tanabe DF210's are 2.0/1.8 for sure. Can you confirm this??

I am right on the verge of getting wither the DF210 or tenzo springs. Not sure what ones though.

 

I just looked on ebay where I got them and it says 2.0 1.6, you saw the pic of my drop its level, I can't imagine .2 would do much. Also if you are going to put on the monroe struts in the front, they lower you another 1/2 inch. You can find the thread somewhere on scion life to confirm, the .5 was due to the strut being made for the echo and not the xb and the strut body was actually a little bit shorter.

 

I will be waiting a while till I upgrade the struts seeming they are like almost $1K. I wanna drop and put in hotchkis front and rear sway bars. after that is the JDM lip kit styleB. Maybe after these.

 

We got them for M's xA. They were what Scion Specialties carried, so I figured they'd be OK. The alarm from SS was great. Then install was easy and the drop was great on the xA. More like a go-kart with them. I've got a set for my xB waiting to be put on. The purple will go well with the Shadow Mica, I think.

 

Is there anyway you can take a close up pic of the gap between the tire and fenders front and rear. I am really considering going with these. I am going to running some 15" sportmax 501's with stock tires. I am wanting to lose as much wheel well gap as I can.

I will also be have echo struts because they will lower the car a 1/2" more. This is because the perch for the echo strut is a 1/2 lower than the xB

 

Here's one of the xA. Stock Steelies with trim rings. Remember it's more gap on the A to start with.....

 

Thanks for the pic Bubble. Helps me a little but the xA does sit a little higher to begin with. Can you tell me your likes and dislikes about them

They do seem a bit stiff, but didn't change the shocks at the same time....I'll do that when I put them on the B....

 

Install easy? you did them yourself? I can imagine messing that install up big time for me

 

We did it ourselves....first time to do anything like that. It took us 3 or 4 hours, but we didn't have all the right tools we would need. There's a great tech article on here. I'll look for it.

 

Here's one for the front. Word of advice--The strut towers are more difficult to get to in the xA than in the xB. UGH! If you are even THINKING of doing a strut bar, do it along with the springs.
