Is there some way to lower a new xB for weekends show/event/pics and then be able to raise it up to be a daily driver during the week for clearance without doing a complete airbag setup? :pray:

Possibly when someone releases a decent coilover setup. I don't think there is any model specific setup for that as of yet.

bags or air cylinders..i STRONGLY RECOMMEND to not do any kind of adjustable suspension to a daily driver. your asking for trouble...just ask me about my truck...

I agree also. Was just offering the option. However, if I was to go that option I would suggest a VERY high quality adjustable coil-over full kit. (replacement strut/springs, etc..)

Isn't this option just as expensive as an air bag setup?

It may be, however, with the airbag setup you do have the problem of the space the tank, etc.. takes up in/on the vehicle... along with the noise (if that bothers you). Don't get me wrong... I feel the airbag setup is probably the best way to go if you want to adjust it fairly often.

I would love to go with an airbag setup, however, with the Michigan winter I have to drive my vehicle in right now I am afraid of the wear it would put on my bags, etc.. (not to mention I need the rear space free for the baby stuff.

I have heard of to many people having to many problems with airbags. I like the way the xB looks lower but I need the clearance to pull into my driveway. If airbags are ok, what kinda of cost could I be looking at with install? What brands are good?

Is Tanabe Racing Development a high quality company for coilover kits?

KP Components or Air Ride Tech make HIGH QUALITY products. i would say about 3 grand installed for a QUALITY air bag install...installation is key. a bad install could give you headaches forever...if you have any more questions about bags let me know.
