I don't know if it is the same model, but the stock shocks on the xB are KYB. They seem to be the shock everyone is trying to get away from.

The xB comes with KYB shocks and Tokico struts. The shocks are too stiff and it is popular to replace them with softer SensaTracs that feel like the front struts.

If you replace the rear KYB shocks with the 333385 KYB shocks, make sure you are putting on a different shock than what was there, and that the new shock is softer.

Here's what I found printed on my stock xA rear shocks:

Toyota (KYB) Gas Filled 48530-52840 Made in Japan

That is a Toyota part number, I don't know if it is the same as KYB 333385
