A 50 profile is going to look funny on an xA unless you slam the ish out of it.
Gotta get some DF210s and Echo front struts to even come close.

He means the Tenabe Sustec 210 Technology: DF210 Lowdown Spring
F R
xA 04-07 2.0 / 1.8 TDF080 $230.00

Meaning 2" drop in the fron and 1.8" drop in the rear.

If you are looking for a decent drop at a good price I found these and I know the company they are good.

At least drop it 2" to make it look less like a 4WD....

thanks for all the help guys

I would have to agree with oldman. A 2" drop does look better.

Dont mean to hijack but I just bit the bullet and ordered those Ksports from Streetrays..Here goes nothing!!! I'll post pics when done.

speedeamon

Yay, now I won't be the only one that has them.

off roading xa FTW but i got some 195 50s on my 15x8s. so it looks like its not lowered with my df210s. in fact, this guy sat there and argued with me one day telling me my car was NOT lowered. i laughed

Update of my car with the Ksport springs on 15's with 195/60/15.

^^ nice set up!

I'd suggest doing a 1.5" drop( Eibach pros) or as much as a 1.7" drop (Tein S-tech) . Either one of those, you wont have to fool around with front camber kit, and depending upon where you live, or where you drive, pot-holes shouldn't be much/ if any problem w/ those springs / ride height.

... ohhhhh, also, if/when swaping out the springs, do yourself a favor and while your in there, get a strut/shock set that is ment for a lowered vehicle = which will yield a vehicle properly balanced for effective handling. If you slam lowering springs on your stock shocks, the throw of the shock will be compromised/lessened (except if using the Eibach Pros... as Eibach says they match well w/ OEM shocks). The strut/shock is a vital component to ALL suspension systems, that MANY fail to pay attention to... heck, some people even cut their springs to get that ride height they want, all the while compromising their + others health while doing so

What ever you do, don't Jerry rig it bro.... do it right!

I had oem wheels and tires, then teh xb 7 spoke ones. The xb seemed to be a softer ride somehow.

Anyway, I had Eibach pros springs from Adam above, they were a bit firmer, but man, no more wobble when its windy or a large semi truck passed you. Plus that drop let me break 40mpg.
