comfort?

I find that driving stock feels not so comfortable as soon as i hit over 30mph.
is there a spring out there that i can get to make my ride more comfortable?
Or is the air suspension my best shot?
To be honest, I don't have enough money to get the air one.
Any suggestions?
Thanks people!

Re: comfort?

what do you want to do with your xb? go low, slightly lower?...if you want to go low with springs, then tanabe df210 are it...but if you want a slight lower stance and want to firm up a little bit then the TRDs are good....i personally had df210s but ended up buying a used set of trd springs cause the df210s were a little bit too low for the roads that i travel on. TRDs lower aprox 1" front and 1.5" rear.

Re: comfort?

thanks for the info
it's more about comfort that i am after rather than the look of it
as long as the springs doesn't raise the current ride height, i guess i would be ok.
does tanabe give you better comfort than the stock springs?

Re: comfort?

tanabe springs are very softly sprung...i felt that they are pretty comfortable...more so than TRDs ....why don't you try NF210s from tanabe?
they are probably the springs you are looking for. they are smooth and yet lower the box just a tad!
