Replying to: xbbx (Oct 11, 2004 8:30 pm) Keeps the shock towers from collapsing. Keeps front end straight , should have no problem with windshield warp and breaking/cracking as was/is the problem with early xB. Suggest you instal Sway Bar also. Better cornering etc.
#298 of 317 Options for xA by xrae Mar 28, 2006 (12:37 pm)
As I wait patiently for dealer to locate my new 06 Scion xA (Flint Mica, manual) I am browsing through the dealer installed accessories booklet. Wondering if I could get some suggestions/recommendations on which items experienced Scion owners feel are worth having installed? I am far from being an auto expert but I would like to get the best ride, acceleration and sound quality from my new toy. The items I'm looking at are: TRD Cold Air Induction, Bazooka subwoofer, Rear Swaybar. Thanks so much for any input! Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Apr 03, 2006 1:40 pm)

First: Get the front strut tie bar.   Second: If you want more from your radio. They have a amp + speaker upgrade. Having said that, I think the stock is fine.   Third: Get a cargo mat so things won't slide around. I know if you get a bazooka, you just lost what little cargo room you have. However, its not much.   Fourth: Fog lights   I own a xB, but the xA is still relative.

Replying to: xrae (Mar 28, 2006 12:37 pm) the ARM REST is a great option. I'd stay away from the Bazooka...it ain't that great and takes up precious room in the xA. Rear swaybar is definitely a good idea. CAI is of marginal benefit and it's my understanding you can't get it for a 2006 xA from TRD at any rate. Front strut tie bar also a good idea but it may interfere a bit with removing your air filter (makes it harder to get at).   You might also think about the lowering springs along with the sway bars.   As for performance, I think the only addition that will make any real difference is the Blitz turbo kit.

Replying to: ralph204 (May 22, 2005 4:03 pm) All I bought for my new 08 xB was a Front Strut bar and Sway Bar. The car handles like a dream and corners just great. Am thinking of changing rear shocks to Sensatracs and should be done with modifications.

Replying to: rq86 (Nov 02, 2008 3:15 pm) No don't buy that eBay junk for $34.The thing looks like a coat hanger. You need something sturdy. You don't have to buy the very lightweight deluxe type but it should be a brand-name item.   As for making a difference, a rear sway bar will do you a lot more good. With a strut brace on a car like that, unless you are charging the turns at some very high speeds, I doubt you'll notice any difference. A strut brace is basically a track item, not a street item, to give you better alignment and tracking during extreme cornering loads.   Visiting Host Replies to this message: rq86 (Nov 03, 2008 1:36 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Nov 03, 2008 1:52 pm)
