Lowering springs which are the best for the Xb
hey guys Im confused on which springs to buy to lower my Xb .I have heard some are not lowering both the front and rear to the same level . and I would like to get some but want the Xb at the same height on all 4 corners.
If you can help me out and if possible post a link to the company you think is best.
thanks Ko

I like, make that love my Goldlines. I still am amazed at how it has changed the way my box handles. I haven't driven on any other springs except stock so couldn't compare but I got a nice 2"drop all around and Bill ( https://www.scionlife.com?scionspecialistvegas ) can totally hook you up for a good price.
When it comes down to it, it doesn't seem like there's gonna be that much difference between the different leading brands if they are all using roughly the same tension rates and such. If you poke thru the forums you'll see every brand has those that love it and those that hate it and every once in a while, people will have an actual reason...

KO RACER I just go the Tein S- Tech springs out on my car. They lower 1.7 in the front, 1.5 in the back but you cant notice the difference in height. They ride great and lower the car without sacraficing ride quality. The TRD drop was just not enough for me and i got the TEINS ( a well respeted company ) for $176 shipped from optionimports.com. I would recomend these springs to anyone. Hope this helps!

go with a japanese company with springs..
theres no PERFECT brand but most of the JDM brands seem
to be good with making the car's height EVEN STEVEN...
u don't wanna look like you're on airbags with the fron tlifted..
afterall, u are PAYING for this.
tananbe, tein, rsr, eibach, and much more are all nice.
