there is NO best cuz everyone has their own tastes and wants..
some people like it firmer.. some people want the ride soft..

tananbe makes NF210, GF210, and DF210 for these reasons..
GF = grip feel(good for handling)
NF = normal feel(like stock but a LIL lowered)
DF= dress form(good for looks)

i had df210 and was a happy camper..
tein s-tech's are good..
so are eibachs...

how much do u wanna spend? i suggest u search for SPRINGS
or LOWERED and see how different rides are..

I have had my Tanabe DF210s for about a week and I love them. I could take them a little firmer, but the drop is just right for the cash you spend (around 170 shipped most places) and handling is improved significantly. My thing with many of the springs offered for the xA is that they only lower it like 1.5 inches at most. The xB guys can get away with a small drop like this and it looks fine because they sit much more squat on thier wheels. Our cars however, have this HUGE wheel gap, which looks really bad in some cases. To tell you the truth, my car looked silly until I put the springs on. I have seen an xA with TRD springs and aftermarket rims it barely looks lowered. I actually came across another set of springs the other day that does a 60mm (almost 2.5 inches) drop on the xA!

I will be posting some pics of my car very soon, so you can see some tanabes on w/ 17's

My opinion- go with an low, agressive spring and you wont regret it later.
