It might be because you changed the springs and not the shocks as well. I know that TRD says the springs will work on factory shocks/struts but the truth is they don't last long if you don't have a spring/shock combo designed to work together. I got a nice set for my Jetta and did my research finding the best one I could. Lots of complaints were the ride getting stiffer, ride actually dropping lower after breakin period and other wear issues. However the ones I got the same ride and height and love them. So not sure but the shocks may help. If not then I may just need to wait till other companies make a set.

Yeah I gotta stiffen up the ride. When I test drove it I almost took the exit ramp the same as I would in my Jetta. That was a bad idea :rofl:
I think though I will go the strut tower and sway bar route before the srings. Plus larger rims with smaller tires will stiffen the ride quite a bit. I like the look of a lowered car but its a bit expensive on the xB. I only payed $600 for my kit on the Jetta. The TRD stuff though is gonna run around $900 just for parts. I usually do my own installation but after doing it on the Jetta I think I will pay to install it the next time around.

thats good to know because I lowered my Jetta and it became a snow plow this winter hehe. I have to say though, it looks so much better with out the wheel gap that I love my drop no matter what. Still may do it eventually in the xB but I wanna wait and see what after market offers. Most cars you could get coilovers for the cost of the TRD springs and shocks. Although you will stay under warrenty with TRD.
