Default More greatness from Randode - '08 xB 2" drop on 18's

What a day, like Randy has spare time in the middle of a major bag job, he finds a way to fit me in on a Sunday. Thanks Dude!

This was just my camera phone, more pics soon.

Ummm, what are you doing to my car?


Eric had to jump in, thank you also!


Final pic, oh and I got some 18's.


So thanks Randode, Eric and Moonray! That was a blast today and I love the results!

Springs are Gen1 xB Goldlines

They work, it helps to have an experienced suspension tech do the install. I'm lucky to be in Randode's area.

Shouldn't be any worse then the 1st Gen xB. I have 4 xBs, 1 xA, and 1 tC under my belt. I think I can handle it, lol! I would have thought that the spring rate for the 1st Gen xB would have been a little less then the second cuz it's smaller. That's the only reason I was asking.

You should be fine. Struts are different, shocks I would assume are different also.

So I should be fine just going with a 2" drop and not changing the struts and shocks? I know on the 1st gen, if you went any lower than the 1" TRDs, you would be changing them out after about 10,000 miles whether you wanted to or not. I just wanna know now so I know if I need to get everything now or not. Thanks.
