just double checking with everyone(even Tanabe), you do have to install a camber correction kit(just on the front springs) with the DF210's ... correct ??

Here is mine: Df210's, Echo struts, 501's et 15. IMO the ride is perfect. I get very little rubbing on the front. It happens on certain road conditions

Champion Jeep,
that is crazy. that is exactly what my xB would look like if i got my DF210s. same rim, i can't tell if you're xB is BOP or BSP. i need to look deep into this stuff. i'm running stock tires and stock shocks and gold 501s w/ +15 offset. what do you think?

BuisBb I am running the stock tires.

allenofray its a bsp. I am running the df210s with the echo struts and stock tires. I think its a perfect setup. I am getting a little rubbing in the front but its only on certain conditions and a couple of passengers. The top of the tire is rubbing the plastic in the wheel well. If I were you I would also add echo struts to the car when you install the springs. It will give you an extra 1/2" drop. I love the way the car rides. It is honestly 100 times better than stock. My wife has a xB and she is amazed at how different my car rides compared to hers. If you guys have any questions just pm me.
