Does anyone know if they even have performance shocks for the box? If so, where can i get them? Got tanabe coil overs but not satisfied with the drop. Resorting back to cut tein s-tech springs (4.5" drop). Sorry but don't want BAGS, nothing against it. AND NOTHING WRONG WITH GHETTO CUT SPRINGS. <---- pm me if any anyone has something to say about this comment. LOOKING FOR ADVICE not a fight. THANK YOU.

 

Tokico, Koni, Waydo Sportivo.

 

There are ALOT of shocks out there you just have to know which ones you want, how harsh the ride and what kind of use r u gonna be giving these shocks.
1.) Koni
2.) TRD
3.) Waydo
4.) Monroe
5.) Tockico
6.) Eibach

Not in any order...

 

TRD is Waydo Sportivo, and Eibach doesn't make shocks and struts for the xB.

Monroe's aren't performance oriented, more comfort.

 

If you have 4.5" of drop with cut S-techs, you've cut a ton off the springs. For sure, a loose spring by a number of inches

You should not be looking at Konis or Monroes or probably any standard "sport shock". You need one hell of a shock to keep this from bottoming as you hardly have any travel. You need something like a very short racing shock. Adjustable compression dampening is almost a must. You need a lot of compression dampening.

If you put a XB Koni on this setup, the first big bump you hit the suspension will bottom super hard, then the springs will fall out (or off the perch).
