bad_bhelle 09-21-2007, 07:27 PM thanxs iwas going with 19 inch but too much money i want so am going with 18 inch with works....
Whispaz 09-21-2007, 11:38 PM wow, i wish i could go that low.
Winters here suck, CA......lucky
stick_1NZ 09-22-2007, 03:14 AM Nice drop. I want your license plate frame. That's pinoy style.
ScionFred 09-22-2007, 05:14 AM Damb! That's low... can you clear speed bumps?
uberspeed 09-22-2007, 05:42 AM Nice!
Ride quality? Also, please update us when you get those 18's in!
SuperMario6582 09-22-2007, 11:00 PM looking good with the tanabes.
xBster 09-22-2007, 11:24 PM A big improvement! Can't wait to see the 18s on.
bad_bhelle 09-23-2007, 05:07 AM so far the ride is nice little bumpier in the back but so far rides nice.... but its slammed!!! i luv it its has settled already.... ihave 1500 miles i thing the dealer going to trip out on the dropped!!!!!!I hope their coming with short stroke shocks and struts soon!!!!!!
bb_ist 09-26-2007, 05:43 PM +1 for shocks! I love the DF springs on my xB right now. It makes the ride look so much better
matt311 09-28-2007, 05:21 PM how come yours looks much lower than all the other DF's installed?...
Im going to be getting these withint he next week. A friend of mine said that lowering your vehical could be bad for it? is there anything that it could hurt? i know the feel of the ride might change but as far as bending hardware of the car.. ect.. ?..
bad_bhelle 09-28-2007, 05:50 PM thats why iam asking tanabe why its sitting low hasn't pmd yet..... :nope:
matt311 10-05-2007, 03:15 PM no update on this?... looks much lower than others .. and you have stock wheels... that wouldnt have anything to do with it wouldit?..
bb_ist 10-05-2007, 09:00 PM well, if you goto tanabe's website and take a look at their installed photo, they look about the same.

bb_ist 10-05-2007, 09:11 PM and the cars look a little lower with the stock wheels and tires IMO.

xseveredveganx 10-06-2007, 12:34 AM 225/40/18
Thank you sir!!! The 225/40R18 tires are 25.08" tall, the TRD 19" tires are 25.51" tall, and the 235/30R20 tires I want are 25.71" tall. I'm sure they'll fit!
:P

idunno if the dfs are to low for me, maybe i should just go with trd springs
Lawrider 10-30-2007, 09:27 PM Well I have had DFs on my car for a few days now, and it is nowhere as low as that. I am curious why your car is so low.
slvrbullet8069 11-01-2007, 06:27 AM Those look sweet!! I know what I'm goin with now, lol. Anyone tell me a good site to order DF's from?? I'm in South TX, it's hard to find places out here that do customizing!!!!
slvrbullet8069 11-14-2007, 05:58 AM Got my springs and installed them today!!!! Damn they look sweet!!!!
MacAttack 11-15-2007, 03:00 PM Ok Im not understanding how this things is squatting like this. I got mine installed at the dealer and it sits low but not this low. Im running the TRD 19's on it now and it doesnt sit like that. Are these different springs then the dealer installed springs?
D_Unit 11-15-2007, 08:06 PM Can someone with DFs please answer if you scrape on driveways or have to angle in to prevent scraping?
D_Unit 11-15-2007, 08:09 PM http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i114/reyperf/torc5135.jpg

You are making the 16s look GOOD! I don't see why a 17" rim with a really wide lip wouldn't look just as sick....
slvrbullet8069 11-16-2007, 03:37 AM I just got DF's put on my gen2 xb bout 3 days ago and I have NO problems scrapin ANYWHERE!!!!! I LOVE'EM!!!!!!!!
Toastado 11-16-2007, 09:10 AM WoW! That makes me quiver ... Just ordered Df's and I dont want it THAT low.
MacAttack 11-19-2007, 09:15 PM Where can I get a set of these springs
birdy233 11-19-2007, 10:41 PM Where can I get a set of these springs
I had TRD's when I first bought my XB2 and swapped to the DF's now it looks right!
They are about $160-$170 look here for someone close by:
http://www.tanabe-usa.com/dealers.asp
MacAttack 11-20-2007, 04:31 PM I have no dealers near me anyone know where I can get a set?
MacAttack 11-20-2007, 04:32 PM Or I will gladly exchange a set of the TRD's for the DF's
D_Unit 11-20-2007, 05:01 PM Do you guys have any rattling problems? I forgot where I read it, but some guy was complaining about rattling after he installed some DFs.
birdy233 11-20-2007, 05:34 PM I have no dealers near me anyone know where I can get a set?
Just call any dealer on that list, most accept phone orders
birdy233 11-20-2007, 05:35 PM Do you guys have any rattling problems? I forgot where I read it, but some guy was complaining about rattling after he installed some DFs.
no rattles with mine after 2K miles, of course you have stiffened up the suspension so a rattle that may not have been there before may suddenly appear!
Toastado 11-23-2007, 02:49 AM Just installed my DF's ... I have the silver XB2 with painted hubcaps ... it is
THAT low

slvrbullet8069 12-07-2007, 10:02 PM Ok.......point being??

D_Unit 12-07-2007, 10:06 PM Ok.......point being??
i guess you didn't catch the j/k part... your car looks good!
slvrbullet8069 12-07-2007, 10:10 PM No I got it, just a lil late, sorry!! :rofl:
fuqua 12-08-2007, 03:13 AM I know I am crazy but I am trying to figure out if I will be able to make it into my driveway.
Can someone with 19” Wheels and 235/35 tires and dropped on DFs measure the distance to the ground from the front lip and just behind the lip at lowest part of the black plastic undercarriage cover.
Thanks you guys are awesome. Trying to go as low as possible and still make it in without scraping.
Matrixv01 12-08-2007, 08:39 AM Here's mine dropped on DF's as well.....minus the wheels, for now.
