Default XA suspension

Ok guys i just got my xa and was wondering what you would recommend for a suspension kit or parts. I want my xa dropped but no more than 2 inch. I have the 15in rims from the factory also.

Anyone? I need some input guys, please help me! Also, are the TRD shocks, struts, coilovers and strut bars worth it?

just gets springs, then wheels.

TRD lower about an inch
Tien about 1.5
tanabe 2 plus

just depends on how low you wanna go

TRD stuff not worth it..at least from the dealer, you can get it cheaper online

check out TRDSPARKS.com for prices

Get Tein's, monroes (if you dont plan on racing) and wheels, the look will be SO SO SO much better. I just dont beleive in dropping without shocking, but then again thats just me, if your going to dismantle the front struts might as well put something better.

we got a set of xA tein S-tech in stock if your interested.
imho it is one of the best overall springs you can get for any scion.
A nice compromise of drop and comfort for a nice sporty look

What are you looking for in terms of suspension? Comfort, looks, performance?

I'm running Eibach Pro-Kit Springs with Koni Yellow's. I love the shocks. I wish the springs dropped a bit lower. I also wish the spring rates were higher. I overall like this setup.

Koni's are a bit pricy but well worth it. I don't know if I'd suggest them if you are looking for all out comfort, although they can be adjusted to be quite soft.

the koni's are pricey (i run with them) and i little on the rough side. Once again if your looking to just cruise in style then go with a basic setup and dont spend money where you dont have to.

Default lowering my xa

so, has anyone tried the Megan Racing springs? Im not too knowledgable on lowering, so i need to know what the stiffness and pound ratio means. it looks like megan springs have a high lbs ratio. is that good or bad?

What are the best springs for the xa in all of your opinions?
Im lookin for a good drop and a quality spring.
any advice helps.
