Get in line, you're not the only one that's been looking. As of right now the only ones are TRD.
If you do find some please post up the link. My rears are shot and would like to replace them (all 4). |

Where did you find KYB shocks for the xb2? KYB is a good company. They have shocks that are like OEM and they have performance shocks too. |

| I just e-mailed KYB about if/when they'd be coming out with a GR-2 application the our 2nd gens. They replied that the xB2 was an application they're looking at, but no specs or prototype is development yet, much less a release date. |

finally found some shocks but it don't seem like if it were adjustable but at least it's some very good shocks and cheaper than TRD here's the link

| I hope some vendor starts picking up those Tokicos. Tokicos are normally cheap and are "okay" quality (usually) |

| that doesn't sound good. If we go through the project of replacing shocks we need decent quality and performance |

| Well on the cars I used to work on, Tokico struts would constantly blow. But on some other cars, Tokicos are fine, so I really don't know if the design of the xB's will be good. |

| It's actually not that weird. I've seen that before in a lot of other sites. Well, for Front and Rear pair, but not Left/Right/Rear. |
