Default xB Shorter Shocks Help!

I've been looking all over the place for a set of rear shocks for my xB that are shorter than stock so my air ride will allow me to go lower. I've been told that Tein, and Ground Control both offer shorter shocks, however i'm at a loss as to where to purchase these at? Can somenone please point me in the right direction.?

take off one of your shocks.....and measure it 2 times...once at full extension and once at fully compressed. then u should be able to go with a performenc shock that measures smaller than both those dimensions.

Where did you hear that ground Control made shorter shocks? I had their adjustable springs on my xB for a few months and the big problem (at least for me) was that the springs fell out when the car was jacked up because the stock shocks weren't short enough. Anyways, it would be great if they now make them. I bet they would sell a lot more kits seeing as their adjustable springs go down almost 3".

Ground control does make shocks as well as re-valve shocks, www.ground-control.com , i heard koni yellows are shorter too. The teins may be hard to find since they are part of a kit , www.tein.com
