It'll be tough to find. They've been discontinued.

Take a quick gander here for more Tein options.

What brand of components do Toyota dealerships install in the "lowering springs" dealer option? For the Echo I'll be picking up next year I'm looking into the cold air intake and performance exhaust options which I know are from AEM and Borla, and am thinking about suspension mods. Would it be better to do the suspension aftermarket?

np fding,
I've heard there's a Tein SS kit for the Echo. It would be on the level with the HA. I'll post when I find out more.

Cheers.

I emailed Tein for the part number to the SS kit for the Echo, since it was posted as being in development. I did it with the assumption that the site was out of date. I received a reply saying that it was still in development, and that I should check back occaisionally. I hope the person I contacted didn't just do what I did and check the site for exactly what I was asking for and give the lazy response, evidenced through giving me no alternatives.

For reference, Tein SS for Scion XB (NCP31L) part #: DSL42-KUSS2

Wraith: The posted specs. for the Echo SS kit and xB SS kit look pretty different. How are they?

^S. Tech is one of their spring lines, so... no.

Wraith: Chewing out fding still doesn't help describe the ride improvement. Your opinion here would be valued. TIA.
