I had to use that title just because cubanix's said "my saturday afternoon. :lol:

Anyway, here we go...

Questions and comments welcome!!!

They most certainly are the TYC's. I'm still thinking about getting them tinted since I've seen a couple pairs pop up around town... But that's how it goes with anything.

Thanks for all the kind comments!!! This is my first digital camera and I was playing around with the settings. I had fun!

Decided to bump this up instead of making a new thread. Over the past couple years, I've got coilovers and TRD 19's. TRD 19's for sale, locals only. Don't want to deal with shipping.

Thanks guys. Thing is, I'm running the OEM suggested 235/35R19 tires. I want to go with something smaller for the future set of wheels. I don't know if I want to go staggered or square. Staggered is dope, but square can be cool too.

How is the ride at that height? Looks awesome!

Honestly, better than the Hotchkis springs with stock struts/shocks. I think it rides well for what it is.

do you have to do anything special to install thos TYC lights? im not down with cutting wires... i like plug and play lol.

Nope. TYC's are plug and play. However, I highly suggest against them. I was on my second set and they burnt out. I was out of my warranty period, so I trashed them. Biggest waste of $250+ I ever had.

I'm running 18x7.5 wheels with 225/40/18's on mine and love them! What size were you thinking about if you didn't stagger?

If I go staggered, I'd run 19x9 +30ish and 19x10 +30ish.

However, I think I'm going to be running something square. 19x8.5 +35. Kind of weak, but I have 25mm spacers that I could throw on the rear. I'll have to see where the front sits after I get the wheels in a few weeks.

They take a little tuning, but pretty nice once dialed in.

I started on full soft and I had to pull over and turn the dampening up within 3 blocks. Turned the fronts up 5 clicks, drove on the interstate. Had to get off the interstate after a couple miles to turn up 5 more clicks. Next day I turned up another 5. I left the rears at full soft for a couple weeks. I turned the rears up 5 clicks, and seems to ride and handle pretty well.
I do feel that they ride better than the Hotchkis springs.

Only way that they would ride stiffer if you went lower, is if you turned up the dampening. Which makes sense. You will want the car to ride stiffer so you don't bottom out on little dips. I need to adjust the shock length in the rear. I also rolled the rear fenders. Front fender liners have more than a few holes rubbed through.

Cause we all love pictures! :cheers:

Nice images but what the heck happened to the front of your B?

It was 'bumped' into a while back in a parking lot. Guy didn't have insurance, and I really don't feel like getting the front fixed. Again. I will eventually, but I'm more concerned about being low and getting the stance dialed. :biggrin:

I'm not a fan of carbon fiber. At all. I only think it's okay on race cars.

I have some ideas that are what I'm into. I just need to get my ducks in a row and get them taken care of.

New wheels, new pics.

I'm running KSports. I've installed the ScionPros on a good friend's xB2. As far as build quality, I think the ScionPros are a little better. Ride is a bit smoother with the 'Pros than KSports, but that could be due to the lower spring rate.
As I've mentioned on various other threads on various forums: if I were to buy coilovers new, I'd opt for the BC Racing's setup with the Swift spring upgrade. May even have them throw together the 'extreme drop' setup with it.

Thanks for all the kind words!
More pics coming up.
