Anyone Actually Running Scion xD Suspension?

This is just the kind of info I was thinking. I didn't even consider that about downtravel and the shocks topping out. Thanks for this info.

I wonder how TRD shocks + OE Yaris springs would ride? I know you wouldn't get any lift from it, but perhaps combo would allow for a softer ride than my Tein S-Techs + Tokico HP, but still improved handling over stock dampers ...
