Oh you have no idea ...mine clunk and bonk and rattle so bad going down the road that it sounds like the car is going to fall apart!

Ghost_1 · 10-09-2007, 05:04 PM

lol trust me I'm waiting to hear what you say, currently after fixing the camber issue my xB has developed a wheelbearing noise, which I am not liking. I don't feel like messing with the setup again cause I'm tired of making time to go do alignments. This purchase will be on my creditcard which I never use. . . lol all I want is something that is truly bolt on, I know it'll need ot be tweaked but I got issues with the ES struts. lol

Well from the pics you can see this strut is highly adjustable with the tool provided..it just slides into the hole in the top of the strut for the 36 dampening positions. The two collars allow the drop and height adjustments.At the top there are also the camber adjustments. I cannot wait to play with this. Hopefully I can give you all some insight by late next week.

I canceled my coilover order just to watch this. Hopefully you'll have some solid information by the new year. Everytime I see them I want them more!

Happy testing and keep us up to date as you go

Cheers

watching and waiting! I have the Tein SS coilovers with the pillow mounts but would like a bagged system..can't wait for a final price

Scionpro · 10-14-2007, 09:20 AM

Ok went to install these on Friday....here is what i encountered. The current Easystreet set up is a half inch set up. In Europe their standard is quarter inch so I had to order some adapters to step down from 1/2 to 1/4. No big deal. They will be in the car this week. So I will have to request a 1/2 inch nipple on future orders since this is the U.S. standard. Second HPS is building a system for the Yaris which is the same as the xB. So they have come up with a rear set up for which I am awaiting pictures. Sorry to take so long with this but they move at a snails pace over there. Once I have the rear set up I can quote solid in stone pricing.

**ogerdgonz** · 10-14-2007, 10:52 AM

Steve I was about to call you to find out about the install, thanks for the updates. Anxious to see the yaris rear set up.

Scionpro · 10-14-2007, 04:22 PM

Just got a little more on the rear set up from what I can understand as their english is poor...rear set up is a spring set up with double bellow bag...in his words "very cool big set up will impressive" No I did not misspell anything this is a quote. So I am awaiting a picture for better clarification...I will drop my rear set up in a heart beat for something like this with springs because my stereo is seriously big and heavy. My B continually bounces down the road...at night people think I am flashing them because the front end is so jittery. lol I have my cell number on the back and people call to complain and I just say hey its air ride and bouncy I am not flashing my lights! Some day some crazy s.o.b will probably try to shoot me! 1OFFRIDES promises to have it all in by Friday and take pics along the way. They are also installing the new fiber optic lighting system into the seats so that they change colors.

**ogerdgonz** · 10-23-2007, 02:10 PM

talked to steve last night. the front struts are in, the installer set the ride height to where he was at with his old set up. The installer wants to play with the camber set up and the ride height before Steve gets it back.

Sounds like it all went in easy.

Will have photos and more info end of this week beginning of next.

Steve is also closer to finalizing the cost of the front struts he is looking into shipping costs. Also waiting on the rear set up for finalizing things.

Probably going to be sold with three options. Front only, rear only or front and rear together.

Stay tuned for more info

Thats right 36 position performance adjustments for your front xB struts combined with air ride...drop it like its hot, ride it tight on your way to the show, smooth it out for cruisin the blvd. This will be an affordable high quality kit manufactured in Switzerland, a country known for precision engineering. Samples for the Scionpro Taxi are on the way to be tested. The kit will be available for the xA as well as the tC! A first for the tC...those guys and gals will love the performance aspect of this. POST UP... the manufacturer is weighing your response to this to determine if they will enter this market for Scion. They already dominate the European and Japanese Luxury Sedan markets over seas with VIP style rides. Lets get some quality here in the states for air ride!!!!! Scionpro will lead the way.

And why, might I inquire, are they not available for the toaster? Hmmmm!

Unless Im missing something, you should go back and read the rest of the thread
You might find it interesting

They will be very soon. A tester set is in my 05 2.0 right now. We are tuning the ride with its 36 position dampening controls, playing with the built in camber adjustments for the right tuck, and playing with the ride height adjustments. It will be a couple of weeks driving it. So far install was a cinch. We have found the proper adapters to take the American 1/2 inch and convert it to their 1/4 inch which will be included with your purchase. It cost me over three grand just for this tester set so you may want to read the rest of the thread and look at some pictures we have posted. This is a serious system and will be available to you just in time for the Holiday's. Here is your final pricing numbers when I release the product....Front set Club xB intro offer will be $1795.00 for the front struts plus shipping. I have already weighed them and should be able to ship anywhere in the continental U.S. for 60 bucks Fed Ex flat rate ground. January the price will go up 100 dollars. The full set front and back will be $2,195.00 plus shipping as an initial offer to Club xB members and will rise 100 dollars in January. Shipping will remain the same as the rears barely weigh anything. As you can see the expense and engineering is in the front struts. William at 1OFFRIDES stated "wow this is the best thought out strut I have ever seen in my life" He currently has two cars at SEMA and the last four he built including mine have ended up in major mags...so I would think he knows what he is talking about.

Dam that sucks

Looks like I'm back to Coilovers, that is way to high for my budget.

Good luck with the product, it does look great!

The reason for the price change is this. They originally quoted Steve costs on their lower level equipment that would eventually rust. They decided to make them only in their higher end series but this means no rust problems.

So if you are keeping the car or even when selling it they will be in great shape.

Also to get coil overs that can do all of this is close to the same money I think. (I am not up on coil over pricing these days) 36 valve adjustable, built in camber adjustment in the front.

I would start saving and wait the extra months to get this system rather than plain coil overs.

BootBoi · 10-24-2007, 11:12 AM

^Thats what Im doing. I almost broke down and bought C/O's the other week. But I told myself that Im gunna wait for these to be released. Ill have enough to buy them in January. Ive been following this thread since day one, like a lot of ppl, and I started a "HPS Collection Fund" can on that day!

I don't have a problem with the price, it looks like they are worth it. I just don't have the extra cash or want to drop the extra cash on the box. Progress coilovers are only 600 shipped. I know they don't have the adjustments as these, but it leaves more money for my true love Skydiving.

Cheers
