Here are pics of our new 17" Konig Unknown rims with the 2" Gold-Line drop. Thank you Randode, the xB drop king. Let me know what you all think.

looks good .. but thats still some killer wheel gap

are u running a 205 40 17 ?? ... should have gone with a 205 45 .. for a smoother ride and to fill some of the wheel gap

but nice none the less :)

Konigs are sweet, saw an rs 2 at the dealer with konig tuner 2s, wish it didn't snow in philly, would get 17in + but going with 16 inch

I actually have 215/40/17 and I love the ride. As far as the drop goes, it should drop another 1/4" or so after it settles. I dont need it to sit on top of the tire, I don't want any rubbing issues. So far, absolutely no rubbing and loving the ride. Keep the comments coming.

having it "sit on top of the tires" isnt what would cause the rubbing ... the WRONG offset combined with a low drop would cause the rubbing :)

did ya get OTG shim spacers ? ... if not .. def get some .. it will make the back look awesome

it looks good though .. glad u like the wheels :)

_____in' ride dude! :clap:

I myself am not really that fond of that rim style....but its just me. Love the way it looks on your car. Does that mean thats Randodes 51 spring install? :clap:

Actually EMU, it was #52 and my neighbor, phoenixtc, was #53...

looking good!

Thx for the feedback, keep it coming....

Very nice! Glad it worked out!

I think those rims go very well with the Yellow..

Drop looks great! :clap:

:clap: Very cool , nice rim choice :clap:

You guys should see yelosubs car in person...it looks bad ___. Looks good in the pictures but doesn't compare to seeing it in person. I can't wait to see how it looks once the springs settle.

Hey, did you do the goldline drop yourself? If you did, how did it go? Because I need a lot of opinions before I decide to drop my xB.

Actually Randode sold and installed the springs for me for $200. I watched him do it and it took him approx 45 minutes, that included smoke breaks, answering cell phone, and answering my stupid questions. The fronts were the trickiest to do. The rear seemed easy, he didn't even have to remove the rear tires. The rear took all of 5 minutes. Randode is THE MAN.. :bow:

It looks nice!

damn it... i wish I lived in Arizona... hahah

I installed my springs in about 45 minutes as well. Its the easiest spring install Ive ever done. The rear took less than ten minutes, without it ever leaving the ground. :)

Thx for the feedback everyone...

Hey squareone, are you exaggerating? I'm just affraid of the whole spring pop off.....rear and front.

This may sound like a dumb question but do you have to replace the strut to ? or can you just throw on the springs

Hey joe, im with ya on the questions... I have no clue about cars and fixin em up.. haha

You're getting me more and more excited about me dropping my car!

Hey squareone, are you exaggerating? I'm just affraid of the whole spring pop off.....rear and front.

Did I exaggerate on the time it took me? No, not at all. The rear is so easy its funny. The front is a little more tricky, but easy none the less. Keep in mind that I have been lowering cars for about 8 years. As for the strut, no, you just put the springs on. I would recommend cutting the bumpstops if your application calls out for it. There is a very easy to use DIY on lowering the box on this site. If you are new to this type of work, READ IT!!! :P
