The rear is as low as it can go.

The front I have rasised up about 1 1/2"

The ride is really bumpy, but fun to cruise on. Wouldn't want to take a really long road trip with as low as it is.

Nice xA BoostedXA. White on white looks awesome.

The way the front looks, I wish the rear looked the same way. If it did I would be buying some coilovers soon. Are you going to put some wheel spacers in the rear?

Thanks....

The White on White definately turned out better than I thought it would.

The rear definately need to sit a little lower, and I a in the process of making that happen that won't effect the ride anymore.

I originally purchased the wheels with the intent of having them powder coated another color, but I might keep this set white.

As far as the rear spacers go I might do that. I have some more wheels ordered(17's)
with the correct offset, but depending how they look will decide on what I do.

Looks good! Like the track-r's

Seems the rear is tucked in a little, should shim it.

NICE! Looks like my car has a distant cousin on the west coast...

What rear shocks did you go with? I've been looking to go with a set of coilovers, and I've been heavily leaning towards the Progress.

I'm just concerned about getting the rear a tick lower... and it seems like all coilover sets I've seen so far can't get the rear low enough for my tastes.

Excellent, I'd definitely be interested in seeing how you're able to do it.

Welcome to the family....Your Xa is definitely looking sweet with the white out look. Don't forget to check out the desert&salt forum under regional area. That's where you'll find the rest of us sun-baked nuts!!!
