Looks really great, including those meaty tires. Curious about the Eibach springs - are those the Pro Kit or the Sportline? Are you happy with the amount of drop? The handling? The ride?

Thanks.
Those are Pro-kit. The drop is okey enough for me. I don't want to be aggressive and deal with rubbing. The ride is noticeably stiffer than the stock but not too bad. I haven't really put a load yet and I only had them for few days.

Looks good, but I thought the trd springs where lower. Glad I didnt order those. I like the set up though.

Very nice. I'm not sure why but I like the pinstripe, how it frames the glass. I dig the Sakatas too.

Thanks. When I saw Nilo's xB, I thought it's nice to have the pinstripe. I thought it brings more details.

When I 1st saw the Sakata's, I said that's what I am going to get for my xB. The offset would've been perfect but because the angle of the wheels spokes rubbing against the caliper, they need to add spacer- that why the rear sticks out a little bit.

Thanks to Macario of California Wheels for all the help. We test fitted a wheel (19x10 but different kind) and only looked at clearance before placing the wheels on order.
