i finally got my xA lowered...
had to get it "professionally" installed cause
1) I'm retarded and couldnt understand the DIY
2) I'm a pansy

:D PROS: Retains stock ride quality, looks super, handles like a go-cart, may induce reckless driving

:( CONS: Retains stock ride quality, premature death of shocks, shop converted "Clean New Car" smell to "Dirty Old Smoker" smell, may induce reckless driving

i found the springs for $150 on ebay with shipping, the seller was "kurumamotoring"
the installation was $100 even, kinda pricey...the shop was honda/acura specialist and charged $50 an hour.

Your car looks good. Where did you get the mud guards on the front? Are they the dealer installed ones?

Wow, those 'before' shots are a trip... The tire is a mile away from the wheel well. How can anyone NOT lower an xA!!

Looks much better now!
