Dropped it on Tanabe DF's. Stock height was just crazy high. Feels like I dropped it 4" hahaha.
- Ride quality is BAIRLY stiffer than stock / Very nice. Was glad as I did not want a harsh ride.
- Springs are progressive so toss it on the corners and they make a heck of a difference
Overall worth the cash! Good springs. Next up wheels and tires.

| I cut 3/4" off the bump stop to make sure they would not bottom. Other than that on stock rims I have never had 1 rubbing event. Who knows though with aftermarket wheels, different offsets & tire sizes... |

| Did you replace the shocks as well or just the springs? Also, do you have the sway bar installed? Did it take care of the roll you get when cornering when it was stock? I'm dying to this mod to my xD. |

| Hello, Just springs right now. They took care of the "ship at sea" rolling that the xd shows but could still be improved with the swaybar. |
