reviving an old thread.

i'm getting close to replacing my TRDs with Tein S-Techs, so it was nice to see a pic earlier in the thread. that's how i want mine to sit.

How about coil's, I personally am trying to figure out the best ones for the xD, in terms of performance and ride height. I want to go down atleast 3in.

well for most of the coilovers available to us, the front can go down way more than functional (this i have learned) but the rear likes to stay up. my c8's are pretty close to 3in dropped though. lower than stechs for sure. as for ride i havent really driven it since i installed cause im trying to wait on my new wheels to come in and i can adjust them for those.

yea ive never looked into those because of the price. i paid 900 shipped. 700$ can go a long way elsewhere.

basically these without the extra branding. scionpro gets their coilovers from c8sport, so thats what i have. hopefully next week ill have my car all adjusted and ready for pics. just waiting on the wheels.

Well see, I liked the ksport's, and one reason being cause the specs actually say up to a 3in drop...front/rear. So I was talking to a guy from fastscions and he told me the KW coils were better quality, and they also have a 3in. drop. Well the specs I got from KW themselves say different....it says like 2.? front and 2.? rear, I know it was just shy of 3.

Yeah 2.2 aint enough. lol. But I may go with the ksports now. My idea is that I will put those coils on...get my 3in., get some 16" wheels and some real low profile tires, It should sit nice!

Are those available for the xD now? Thier website doesn't show them as an option yet... I desperately need a good set of coils for my D, both my struts and my springs are shot on my car now. Dang springs were designed for the Yaris and they settled almost an inch and a half under the weight of the D, I bottom out on every little bump now, it really slams hard...

EDIT: Called Scionpro today, they said there wasn't enough of a demand to make them for the xD, so they will NOT be available at all.
