Coilover for 06 XB
Hi,
just bought a XB a few months ago and am thinking about changing the suspeension. I have been reviewing Tien and HKS. My concern is the stiffness. I want to make sure the ride is as comfortable as possible without it being really stiff. What do you recommend?

I would look into the Progress coilovers. You can get a 4" drop out of them. From whay I have been told by people who actually have them is around 2.75 to 3" drop it rides pretty good. You aren't gonna have a race winning suspension but doesn't quite sound like you are looking for that. Partsshipper is running a deal with them right now for around 650.00. When I get the money that is what I am buying. Here is the link of the sale look into it you might like them.

I just recently installed Tein H-tech springs because of their spring rate and have been pleased.
I would also check w/ K-power (I believe) and/or Ground Control. I believe ground control will still allow custom spring rates to be ordered.
You are going to be looking at the Tein SS's if you want more adjustability and I want to mention my Tein H spring w/ the monroe rear shocks have been great for the price.

Hate all you want. In stock form you know I speak the truth. And I know that it can be difficult to get K Sport to offer their coil overs in really soft "street" spring rates.
And for the record I do plan on running a set of custom K sport coil overs if I get my own xB. You will never see a set on the wife's xB though.

hehe yeah, it just takes a couple extra weeks for the distributor to send the coils to ksport, for them to change the rates, and the springs, and to send them back overseas....
ksports are the shiz... and match my hot lava..
