I'm looking to go with upgraded shocks. I think I'm going to go with NF's with these and I need the best shocks for the amount of money they cost. I am also getting front and rear hotchkis sways and a dc strut bar. And I'm on 18's. Let me know what you guys think.

I would try TRD, but then I haven't read many reviews on the Tokico, so.....
I would like to see how this turns out.

Do you think that the trd shocks are worth the extra cash. Will they even stiffer than the tokicos?

couldn't tell you. IMO it would probably be the same. then again, you have to factor in what springs you are using or if you have sway bars and tire size.

There should be others that fit too, as Toyota used practically all "off-the-shelf" parts when building Scion suspensions and engines. I'd be shocked if the shocks weren't identical to one of the similar size/weight Toyotas.
I just don't know which, or I'd be getting Konis on mine (GREAT experience w/ them on my Miata).

KwikSilver- Silver 09 Quick isn't the same as fast . . . Fast is just acceleration and top speed. Quick is maintaining that speed in a corner, better than just fast. The xB is QUICK!  |

I've only heard good things from koni so I would definately buy a set from them. How would you go about finding which shocks are the same?

Here's a stupid question.... Since we have been lowered, do we require shorter shocks?
