I am looking at finding some coilovers and heard that 1st Gen scion Xb coilovers might fit in 2000-2005 toyota echo hatchback...

I am looking at these racelands http://www.racelandus.com/coilovers/scion-coilover-kits/scion-xb-coilovers-1st-gen.html


Also look--http://www.ebay.com/itm/D2-Racing-RS-Coilovers-for-Scion-XB-03-07-Scion-XA-03-07-Toyota-Echo-00-05-/380696034851


Has anyone ever tried Xb suspension in their echo or know if this works? I emailed raceland to ask them to see if they knew or not. But also figured i would post here

Here is the car it will be for

email raceland to make sure i wanted to use a set on my 07 yaris but to make it work i would have to relocate my sway bar location mount cos its missing on the coilover..echo sway runs off the control arm so u maybe ok.

first gen xB suspension setup is identical to the Echo. Weight differ, so lowering height will be different than xB.

Hmm that's good to know, I might wait to see what the company says anyways and I am curious if the height would be effected in a negative way or a positive way.

Would most likely not lower the echo a substantial amount...?

If they are coilovers, isn't ride height adjustable? So it wouldn't matter about the weight of the vehicle?
