I think that is pretty much what it will look like. Our xAs are very high up to start with, so unfortunately 2 inches DF210 will not be enough

---------------------mine 2 days after install



---------------------------after a week

I hope not, i mean really it is not bad. I am just wondering why the rear is lower than the front. One person commented on the fact that it the rear fenders are wide and loger in length from bottom to top. Im happy but wondering how to make the rear less bouncy considering i have adjustable shocks do i make it more firm or soft. I believe firm?

That is it, I am getting some DF210's. The drop even makes the stock wheels and hubcaps look o.k.

Hi, Im considering buying it, but I don't want to have problem with the clearance of the wheels. I'm going to be using the stock wheels, and we are usually 3 people on the car. Anyone see any future problem with that?

Thanks!

Front never rubs lock to lock, but it's with just me in the car. Rear will be uncomfortable for the 3rd person in your car.

I'm almost 100% committed on getting some tein s techs. But i'm liking the look of these as well. How are these springs for daily driving in an 06 xA? I don't wanna go too low and watch every little thing just to not scrape cuz frankly that takes some of the fun out of driving.

It's a little stiff for daily driving. You won't scrape too much because the xA's front overhang is pretty short for a front wheel drive.
I scraped less with DF210 on xA than stock springs on 98 Camry because of the shorter front overhang.
If you look at Hondas, especially RSX, their front overhang is like 36 inches long, they are the worse ones.
Measurements: front overhang measured from tire contact to front license plate is about 24 inches. Distance from the 2 plastic deflector pieces under the front bumper to the ground is 4.5 inches, the closest to the ground. For comparison 2001 Accord front overhang is about 35 inches.

Default tanabe df210s

I want to put the df210s on my xb but was wondering if i can run a 225/40/18 without rubbing.I'd go with the 215/35/18 combo but I had those on my bagged s-10 and it was terrible you feel every little bump until i upgraded to the 225/40/18 now my truck rides smooth,also is there anyway to make the back of the xb not so bumpy with the df210s on.Any help would be great thanks.
