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.

the carbon fiber cap on Fast Scions might do the trick for you, if that's a look you're going for.

Looks F'ing DOPE!. I don't use that word, because I'm a little too old and lame, but it is the only thing that made sense. I am extremely envious of that stance. I love the wheels and I usually hate extreme color clashes. Nicely done.

What coilovers are you running? I have heard nothing but good things about scionpro.com coils.

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.
