Ok from what I have read and specs I have seen Sportline and Prokit heights are the same as Tanabe NF's and DF's so if you seen NF's with 19"s and 20"s then you have basically seen what they look like with the prokit.... the ride height is the same...the only difference is the stiffness.... (if I am not mistaken)

You are mistaken... drops:
Pro-Kit = 1.0F/1.2R
NF210 = 1.0F/1.7R (1/2" more rear drop than Pro-Kit)
SportLine = 1.2F/2.2R (rear drop 1" > front evens out the ride height the best)
DF210 = 1.7F/2.1R (1/2" more front drop than SportLine)

Generally, the Eibach springs are known to be a little bit stiffer than the Tanabe springs, so less body roll in turns and better handling, at the expense of a less comfortable ride.

For an aesthetics stand point, if you choose the Eibach Pro-Kit, you're going to keep that nice raked look on the stance. The Tanabe NF210s virtually evens out the ride height.

I used to run Eibach Sportlines, but my back couldn't take it anymore (I have back problems) plus I wanted a more comfortable ride. So I switched to Tanabe NF210s, which raised the car a bit, but gave me significant more ride comfort.

im going with the pro-kit. the sportline a bit to much for a daily driver.

The tire/fender gap looks pretty large in the rear, and those tires are tiny (1.2" smaller outside diameter than OEM 205/55) but I guess that was necessary to keep the +0 offset wheels from causing tire rubbing.

Yes sir. I put these springs on when I had my stocks on and I was suppose to slap on some 19's I had. Now I'm looking for Tein S Techs or DFs for the bus.

I honestly think that the Eibach pro springs will do you justice if that's your car stock. My 0.02 cents

If I had money right now, I'll think about it. But I'm still shopping around.

The Pro-Kit springs only drop the rear about 1/4" more than the front, so you will still have a lot more rear tire/fender gap than front.

If you want a mild drop that evens out the gap a bit more, then you might consider TRD (1.0"F/1.5"R), or the NF210's. Isn't your xB already loaded with TRD parts & accessories; why not one more?
