I've always had good experience with Eibach springs. I don't have any experience with their springs in an xB though. There really aren't very many people on this site running Eibach springs. And even less running the sportline version.
They do have a similar drop to the Tanabe DF210, the HKS SF5 and the Goldline springs. You can probably find the DF210 considerably cheaper, and they ride great.

I got the Prolines
If your not looking for a super low drop, , I think they are the best handling springs made for the Xb. 
Just enough to git rid of the wheel gap, better handleing just like all lowering springs, plus the benifits of a progressive spring rate. I have been in other Xb's with different springs and mine has a slight edge in the handling department.

I'm running the sportlines. When Randode and I were done with the install and set
the box back on the ground we said - damm -- It had dropped the xb about a 1/2"
lower than advertised, About a 2 1/2" total drop. They ride just great on smooth
roads, but as we all know those roads are far and few between. And can be bouncy
on rougher pavement. But thats life with a lowered vehicle. Anytime you take a stock
shock out of it's optimum working range ride quality will suffer.
Check out the pic's in my profile.

It's a good thing that people actually have some Eibach Sportline or I'll be ___ out. I been doing a lot of research on springs for the xb and Sportline wasn't even out yet. Good thing I waited cause I love Eibach, they kept there reputation very well. Means to all end, you car looks clean, love the pictures. By the way, how much mm spacer did you put on the rear wheel. I am going to put some Axis Decade Maxxis Lip and was wondering how much spacer I am going to put. Thanks

I just posted in another place, but then found this thread. Can someone post a good picture of the wheel with Eibach prolines... I may have been dupped on some springs, they were in Eibach box, but I swear the drop looks stock to me
