Help!!! I want to lower my XB in the summer when I have my 18" rims on...but I ride my stock wheels in the winter...what is an easy low cost way to raise and lower my car throughout the year?
Thanks![/b]

 

air ride....
coil overs....
just lower it, the height will be the same no matter what tires you run with...

and moved....

 

There is no easy way to raise and lower your car unless you spend a bunch of money on a nice set of coilovers or airbags. Cheap coilovers are around but not recommended. You can also put your stock springs back on each winter and that would be the most economical.

 

Well I don't need the cheapest.....what are the best for my money.... I want to make sure the ride is still good.....but don't want to invest my life savings...thanks!!!

 

I'm not sure what I want....I just need something that will be easy to raise and lower so I don't have to take the car to a mechanic each time.

 

lower it yourself. The rear end takes 10 minutes. The front end can be done with hand tools in about an hour.

 

Using what type of product....the air or the coil over?

 

just drop it with 2" goldlines. it will be fine in the winter.

 

I agree.. get some springs and be done. Don't drive in snow 4" or deeper, even if you've got the ground clearence. That's bad for your health

 

So just get some lowering Springs....I saw some Tein on Ebay that will go 1.5 inches.....think thats good enough?

 

I have those. Tein H techs. They are a softer, but squishy ride. They lower a little and look better than stock. Gets rid of the 4x4 look. but if you want to look "lowered" then go with some Goldlines (150 shipped from Bill) or S Techs / Tanabe DF210's or something. They all lower in the 2"+ range.

 

Depends on the look you want. Goldlines are 2" Tein STechs are 1.5"

 

i just installed the eai air ride kit on mine and i have a set of tein ss coilovers for sale that are only 4months old. 800.00 if interested check your mail i sent you my number.

 

I like a stiffer ride and better handeling....which spring offers the stiffist ride?

 

H-Techs are 1.5, S Techs are 2ish

I hear S Techs are stiff.
I had goldlines and they corner much much better than the h techs.. that's all I can tell you about that though

 

Who offers the Goldlines? I like the cornering to be sharp on the car....since I don't have much in the line of power LOL.

 

tanabe df210's ptuning.com call them tell them your on scionlife you get free shippng and extra discount.

 

Bill or Scionspecialistvegas, scionspecialistvegas@yahoo.com

He has an sponsered sale price of 150 including shipping, I think. I've bought springs from him in the past and he's a real cool guy. I def. recommend him.

 

stiff? well, the stock springs are damn stiff.
goldlines are sweeetah. they are softer than the stock, yet offer far less roll. it's weird - the bumps are softer but the corners tighter.

 

Yeah, Bill's the man. Great service before and after the sale...
