I got my Tanabe's for 165 shipped, and it came with the wrap also.

 

Gold-Lines for me, full 2" drop, no sag, and superb ride with 17's...

 

NVmyBox could you please link the website where you found your Teins?

 

PM JSC_Speed...that's where I got mine...best price I found

 

If I am looking for a smooth ride, which springs would you suggests?

 

A ibought them from ebay- the seller's name is AKASPEED2003. You can do a search by seller to find him. actually I just looked- follow this

I was also mistaken- I only paid $152 delivered- I must've had my mind elsewhere.
As far as the ride goes, I have been pleasently surprised. It is a little rougher, but definitely not errible by any means. My focus was dropped on intraxx springs, and that thing busted your rear! The Teins seem to ride nice and smooth. Some people in the local ScionEvolution chapter were actually commenting on how their LOWER Teins rode better than their previous TRDs. (Granted these guys were talking about tCs, so maybe not a fair comparison)

But yes, I think they ride well. And I think that they are popular enough that it wouldn't be that hard to find someone in your area to take you for a spin in theirs. Same goes for the df210s.

 

What the hey, her's a few pics-

 

Randode sells the Gold-Lines for $180..Here is the link for those interested: http://randode.entryhost.com/store/index.html

 

tanabe DF210's . only way to go. scraping bumpers daily sounds soo good

 

I have the df210s, and I dont't scrape or rub at all- and thats on 18's. To me they seem to ride a little smoother than the stock springs. I drive around with a wife and baby in the car, and it's plenty comfortable.

 

I bought progress group I think they drop 1.5 in the front and 1.8 in the rear, and they ride great.

 

i want a 2'' drop and i have 17inch rims wrapped in a 205/45/17... and i have 2 much fender space, thats why i want the drop... im pretty much sold on the goldline... thanks for all the help

 

i have the progress kit that jeff aka lip sells at partshippers.com....here is a quick pic of my xB




here is a link to the kit...the kit includes the springs and rear sway...

o yeh, the drop on mine came out to be right around 2 inches...

 

Here's a pic of my 2006.5 xb with a Goldline 2" drop. 1100 miles.

 

We have two xB's here that have been dropped with Hotchkis and Goldlines. The drop measured out the same, but the Hotchkis had the better ride and we sell them for $149.95. Just another possibility to look into.

I installed the S-Techs two weeks ago. And I'm extremely happy with the drop and ride that i have. Like others have said I think i got a little more drop than what it says (about1.5).
I got mine from JSC speed, took about a week to get them. Talk to Chris.

 

 

i have had the tein s-techs since 9-10-05 and i couldnt be happier
love the ride, love the drop, actually settled around 2" rather than the 1.5", but looks so nice
and i bought mine for $158 from scion sport, think the price went up now
a little scrapage hear abd there, but it is chill, the sexiness of the drop makes up for the scrapes

 

tanabe df210 !!
best bang for the buck!!
will post before / after pics tonight for you guys
