First mention of bulbs, specifically.

do you knw where to get good deqls on the bulbs i wanna replace mine with white

yeah we got a butt load of them at work, tell me what sizes you need and i will tr to get pricing for them :cheers:

Well this thread wet to **** in a hand basket. Started with spring comparisons and went to light bulbs????? Try using PM's.

it really went to shiite when you posted here, i dont think anyone really asked your opinion on anything. heres a suggestion keep your .02 :cheers:

Simmer down, boys . . . :boxing:
Bulbs would another-tread-worthy. PMs are the best format for person-to-person discussions. It avoids confusion and interjections.

Gotta get back to IRT: Deadliest Roads, final episode.

Wanting to throw a set of the NF210s on my new '12 BSP...could I follow the install instructions for the TRD springs that are listed on TRDSparks.com and be safe? Or does anyone have a link for install instructions that is applicable to the xB??

Thanks so much!!

I asked about this some months ago, my thread is
http://www.newscionxb.com/130-scion-xb-performance/8546-stock-vs-trd-vs-nf210-direct-comparison.html
In that thread I found the links below. I think my next mod will be NF210 springs once my budget recovers.

Here's the thread on ScionLife started by Cionide that convinced me:
*Official Tanabe NF210 thread. Post'em up!* - Scionlife.com
The tread is long but worth the read. Lots of people who have the NF210s have experienced better handling and a less choppy ride. The springs lower the car slightly but not as much as the DF210s.

Here's a tutorial on ScionLife on how to install, it has LOTS of pics so be patient:

After you are done, remember to get a front alignment, and re-aim your headlights. Good luck and let us know how it all turns out!

thanks for getting back so quickly!! I'm thinking that the install is about the same on the 08-10 as it is on the 11-12 so hopefully there wont be any issues, but if anyone has anything else to add I would appreciate it...i'll keep you guys posted if I can get them done with no problems!!

I just did my 2011. Its 100% the same. Super easy. Once its in the air you pull the front strut, SAFELY! use a spring compresser to remove the coils from the struts and reverse how you removed them. I would suggest unbolting the bottom and leave the three nuts on the top of the strut tower (in the engine bay) for last when removing.

The rear is super simple. Unbolt the rear shocks and anything else holding the rear axle up, swap out coils. Make sure they are right-side up and have the rubber boot attached. The rear WILL NOT need an alignment but the front will.

If you have further questions I just put DF's in my 2011 about a month ago.
