Ok so im thinking of putting goldlines on with 18's. Has anyone would had any problems with rubbing. As for comfort how do they ride? Will need new shocks/struts to improve comfort?
thanks

There are peeps running 20's with a lowerring kit on and have no problems once again, is the right offset on the wheel. We have a girl in our chapter who purchased an used Xb with 18,s but the offset was wrong and the rims caused the tire to rub. I have lowered a c3 cars with 18's and one with 19's using goldlines and had rubbing issues.
To answer the second part of your question, about changing struts and shocks, in my opinion I would say no. I have 26,000 on my car with lowereing springs and 17" tires and It still rides great. I lowered mine with 800 miles on it. The lowerring spring will contrbute to premature strut and spring wear out, but not at the dramtic rate that some people think. I would venture to maybe at best, 15% faster. Remember these cars haven't been around long enough for us to know for sure, but I haven't heard of anyones front end collasping because of lowering spring that were properly installed. Bill

Note: I flipped the 2nd picture around to face the same direction as the first so it would be a lil easier to compare.

No they are Megan Racing Springs. www.meganracing.com They don't have the Scion XB listed on their site, but if you call them up they are $120 shipped.
