I just got my XB sunday and I put Panter 18s six spoke on it with 215x35x18 tires.. I want to buy the df210 spings.. ?? please give me comments on what you guys think of these. Will the car be to low and scrape going into driveways?? Will I have to get the xb aligned??? How rough will the ride be?? worse than stock?? thanks in advance for the info.. cool site..

I've got the df210's on my box w/ 18's i only scrapped it once when i was going up a very shard incline, the ride is kinda harsh, but i always liked the sports car feel. I didn't get an alignment but never had any uneven tire wear or anything like that as of yet

I had them nice looking drop, didnt scrape at all but I didnt like the ride, to harsh and bouncy for my taste so I recently put in the tein h techs.

Did anyone have to get a alinment with these springs??? and where all the ride worse than the stock spring?? I reall want to get them but dont want A piece of Junk when I am done.. thanks in advance..
An alightment in recommended! I just got an alignment today for my xA and it turns out that the toe was off by .30
Afterwards, I noticed that the car was more stable at freeway speeds, especially on the rough freeways the steering wheel doesn't move around as much as it used too.

I have them. The springs come complete with a plastic coil to wrap around the rear springs to dampen noise during compression, new bump stops for the front shocks, stickers, and a license plate frame. I haven't really scraped the bottom side of the car, but occasionally scrape my tail pipe when going up steep driveways. The ride is much bouncier than I thought it was going to be. I'm fine with it, but I think my passengers think I'm crazy.
I also had an alignment shortly after the install. My toe and camber was off quite a bit.
I can't compare the DF210's to anything else because I haven't ridden in another lowered xB yet.

If the ride is too bouncy with the DF210, then would could
I get to still get the 2" drop, but with a soft ride? I'm not
going to be tracking my boxen, I just want it low slung!

A lot of other people are running Gold Lines. They are a 2" drop too. Not sure how the ride compares to the DF210's though.
