Decided to take a few new shots of the hatch. Still debating if I should keep the car or sell it ($7200). Thus far, I've added a yakima roof rack.

Photo's taken with Nikon D300.


enjoy.



















***I really need a drop, I believe the car has 16" rims currently, and I'm debating whether to go with the eibach prokit of the sportlines.....

If anyone has this setup ( I will provide tire specs later), please chime in.

Also, has anyone painted the roof a diff/ color like the mini's? Was thinking of doing white.

I'm not feeling the tailights of the car, the all red was waaaay better, I'm thinking of going that route, depending if the junkyards sells them for cheap, or If I can just mod them black housing or something?

lastly, where can i find a small simple/clean spoiler, I dont like the oem one it's too big for my taste, I saw somewhere on this board a small simple one....and does it come painted?

thanks

 

Thats onc enice clean car. Just need a set of scion floor mats. I had eibach prosports 1.5 I think 2 inch would me too much.

Man, I sure miss my 96.

wow lame...

 

sportline drop would look sick!

 

honestly, most springs will actually end up lower. I had some that were supposed to be 1" but came out to about 2" over time. Others have had the same issue. And it's always good to have some clearance and ride comfort.

 

I recommend Eibach Sportlines.

They will drop you 2", and not settle much more than that. Well worth the money, and the performance they'll give you in return.

You use that rack, I hope, and don't have it on there for aesthetic purposes.

 

Think about the roads you drive on too, no one likes to scrape bumpers or anything else on steep driveways or whatever you may encounter.

 

looks good, definitely needs that 2" drop though

you'll go from: "lets go off-roading" to "oh crap, i probly cant make it up that driveway"

haha

 

Honestly, if you scrape with only 2" drop on the xA, you don't know how to drive.

I'm dropped 4-4.5" and rarely scrape.

 

if your worried about scraping get a 1.5 inch drop and i always scrape in the snow cause the snow is too deep and i love to drive in the snow

 

Its offical, I cant drive. I even scrape the air dam on my xb2.

Just gotto take drive ways at an angle. Easy to forget when my other car is 2 ft off the ground and I cut curbs.

 

Well, you know how to drive, you just forget every once in a while.

 

yea, Ive had issues with springs settling in lower over time, that is just the way it is...once it is dropped, it will get lower once it settles...

The roads out in San Diego are really messed up, due to over population, and 2inches would be lower than that, so im leaning towards the sportlines, but only one person has given back up to support to why I should choose sportlines...

any pics or either?

 

Thanks Z, lets see daygo if I have any photos.

Here is one of my back side.



Hard to tell in this photo, think the dealer removed them. Basically the 1.5 removes the massive wheel gap to make the car normal ride height looking. You need to check my profile for another photo. Oh and the roads here are f-ed up here too, 64 and 295 the most. The prosports smooth out the minor stuff, but pot holes and bumps are harsher.

 

I have the prokits with 195/45/16 tires and it looks pretty good. I think that for my next tires I'll bump up to 205/45/16 though to fill the wheel-wells better. My tires almost have that rubber band look.
Also if you drop 2+ inches you'll need a camber kit in order to keep your suspension's alignment right.

 

2" drops look good, just beware of bumpsteer and roll center.
