Posted February 4, 201411 yr Well, it seems it's always something when it comes to my exotic builds.. Now, all 3 companies who manufactured shocks for the newer Gen Scion xB have all been pulled and discontinued without reason! Talking with a performance retailer, Tokico has went as as far as discontinuing all shocks for all scion vehicles as of 2014 without reason. I don't know what's going on but something is up.. So, I need a source, sources that I can contact about custom shocks. I need it as a backup. I do not know if the current stock shocks are equipped to handle the new coil springs and won't know for some time until installed. I do not know stock spring rate but current spring rate on new coils is 360.
February 4, 201411 yr Lots of reputable shock company's that offer higher end models that can be re-valved for your weight and desired dampening characteristics . I am curious as to what is unique to your application as most shocks have multiple applications and can be considered universal in that regard.
February 4, 201411 yr Author I do not know if i will need any. I'm doing homework just in case.. I don't want to be driving around with a ton of added weight and the stock shocks not able to handle it properly like my last car wasn't able to. Just taking precautions.
