[sh0rtlife]

something thats been on my mind alot latey is the gen1 scion has a HUGE following..and alot of the stuf is the same from/for the yaris...are the struts?..i see them pop up all the time reasonably priced..id bet the spring rates arnt the same due to a lil extra weight but thats not the concern

Looking at the pics from RockAuto, the struts are different. The steering knuckle's mounting holes for the 1st GEN xB angles out, while the Yaris' are vertical.

I don't know what your goal is? Were you planning on using the xB1's strut in your Yaris or vise versa?

i find performance XB parts pretty much every week and reasonably priced and useualy reasonably local......meanwhile finding performance yaris stuff means looking outside the country and bending over for shipping costs

If you're trying to put xB1 suspension on the Yaris, you might have to put xB1 steering knuckles on the Yaris as well. I don't know how much you'd save, you'd need the steering knuckles, bearings, and hubs. And I don't know if the xB1 knuckles would work on the Yaris.

I'm extremely happy with my Tein S. Tech lowering springs and Bilstein B8 struts combo. And I've still yet to replace the rear shocks, they're still stock.
Some have used the Megan Racing lowering springs with the Bilstein B8 and have been very happy. The Megan Racing springs are softer than the Tein's.

Do you plan to track your car? If you do, check out what the regulations are.
