| Echo struts?
I want to be a little lower than I already am with my drop springs & i'm due for new struts since mine are blownnn.So I was wondering if anybody has put echo struts on their XB's because I heard it lowers our cars a little bit,and how does it ride with them on there?Any other ideas for going lowering withoutgoing coilover(Thats in about a year or so.lol) or bags(can't afford em lol) |

yes, echo struts drop the front 1/2 inch. The monroe sensatrac are a nice ride. |

Well I really just want the back dropped.The fronts pretty darn low(for drop springs) right now and the backs sitting a little high.I don't like that raked look. | |

yea echo struts will drop the front, but not the back.
their spring perch is mounted 1/2 inch different than the xB, creating the drop. | |

I have Tein S-Techs and had a little rake with the Monroe struts for the Echo. If you had Tanabe DF210s you would be much lower and not as much rake. | |

I'm pretty low right now.I don't know if the Tanabe's would put me any lower..
I'm rolling on d2 springs and they have a 2" drop front & rear and the DF's have a 2.2/2.0 drop so all they'd do is drop the front more it seems.

i don't think you'll even notice the rake, the front always looks a little higher with most lowering springs anyway, so it'll probably look just right.
I still have a brand new set in the box if you want them. Monroe Sensatracs
