Tell me what you think.

Looks nice. That armor all on your seats? I would wipe some of it off.

 

looks very nice!

i agree with rayman, wipe some of that off.

 

yeah, I just did it, not armor all though, meguires.

thanks

 

Needs a drop, bad.

 

very nice

 

awesome box, needs a drop RIGHT NOW!

 

Yea where did you get the LEather Seats? Im guessing those are after market right?

 

It was an option at the dealer, they sent it out to have it done.

As for the drop, I like to do my own work and have never messed with lowering springs. How much, how hard and what is the ride like afterward?

Thanks for the input.

Well, depending on the springs and drop rate you want you're probably looking at about $160. There is a write-up in the tech section with step by step instructions and pics for the install. Not too much work if you're used to messing with your car already. I'd say 2 hours all together. The ride quality on my Tanabe springs improved compared to the stock springs. Less stiffness and handles better as well.

 

Tanabe DF210s!!!

1. 2.2'' front 2.1'' rear drop.
2. Anytime you lower a car with springs or coilovers, you are stiffening up the spring rate. So obviously its going to be stiffer than stock. However, i think its bearable.
3. I got mine around $200 shipped.
4. How hard? I'm assuming install? Spring compressor, basic tools and knowledge and your good to go!

Good luck!

BOP REPRESENT!

yep, a nice box with grease between the doors not good

 

cut me some slack i drive 75 miles roundtrip to work and back every day, I haven't detailed it in a while

 

thanks for the info guys, I will definately look into it.

 

So the leather has a shine. It's not scruptrulescent.
But he has leather. Well done. Enjoy your xB to the fullest.

 

Shiny...Clean. Sure is nice. I like the rims.

 

definitely needs a drop, bur nice wheels

 

I have goldlines. It handles better but if you have a lot of bumpy roads in your area then you'll notice a difference in ride quality. If your roads are good you'll be fine. I never take my ride to NYC for that reason.

 

The leather is niiiiiice

 

If you don't have access to a spring compressor, just do what i did, have a good buddy to put the nut back over the strut while you give it hell trying to compress it, hehe.
