OK. Yaksha808 (John) provided me with this really cool listing of springs...but my question is this: which set up makes the 2006.5 xB LEVEL? And what will look the best with some 16" - 18" rims?
Scion xB Springs
Tein Springs
Tein H-techs - 1.1'' in the front and .9'' in the rear
Tein S-techs - 1.7'' in the front and 1.5'' in the rear
Tanabe Spring
Tanabe df210 - 2.2'' in the front and 2.0'' in the rear
Tein Coilovers
Tein SS-P - 1.1'' to 2.5'' in the front and .6'' to 1.8'' in the rear
Tein SS - 1.1'' to 2.5'' in the front and .6'' to 1.8'' in the rear
Tein Basic - 1.1'' to 2.5'' in the front and .6'' to 1.8'' in the rear
And what about Goldline and TRD springs...are they any better?
ANY HELP WOULD BE REALLY GREAT...cause I am clueless! :confused:

I really like the goldline springs. Those are the ones I will get before too much longer.
:!:
I thought I would just stop by your place before you return and sneek yours off. I didn't think you would notice them gone.

LOL, OH ILL NOTICE!
Aparently my tread is down to a '2' on the scion. SO, alisha took all 4 rims/tires off and put the stock rims/tires on by herself, great work!
Now apparently the exhaust is messed up, the muffler is hitting the cutout in the rear bumper and MELTING it?! Man, and I'm not home to look at it/and or fix it. I think she got the neighbor to look at it, but I haven't heard back about it yet....
poor scion.....

Yikes...you will have some work to do, alright.
We will have to hold a "get TOAST's xB back to par" meet when you return. With a couple dozen ECC members...we could have that thing perfect in about 12.4 minutes!

DF210s on 17x7 w/ 215/40 = my setup
I'd go lower if I didn't need to drive the thing

I rock Tein H-techs due to there being no additional spring rate so the ride isn't any harder because of the new spring.
I have 15s and like the dropped but not slammed look it gives my xB.
