pretty easy install, took me hour and half to do all 4, the tanabe springs came with new bump stops too. the rides a bit softer...i still have to wait for the springs to settle but as for now with the 17x7 work wheels with 205-40 tires, the front has a tite 3 finger gap and the rear has 2 finger gap from tires to fender measure, overall im happy with the springs, they are the pink colored tanabe springs...for pictures you can go to my site.

NICE! looks pretty good.. those were the springs i was originally gonna get..

 

wow! nice drop! nice rims! nice color as well!! maybe lose the stickas and you've got one clean ride there!!

 

That is one Sweet lookin' xB TOY_bB! :mrgreen: nice camera work!

those wheels/tire look great on your Black Cherry xB!

i have 215/40/17 tires myself and i am more convinced than ever to get the 2" drop.....

you say the Tanabe's run a little softer? is it bouncy or did it just smooth it out a little?

i rode in Randy's xB over @ Darkside w/ 2" Goldline's and those rode really nice....

so now i just gotta decide on Spy's, Goldline's or Tanabe's

but i am thinking on going for the Goldline's or the 1.25" Spy's....i might get a taller tire next time and the 1.25 would allow me to do that, whereas i am not sure if a 2" drop would allow for a taller tire without rubbing...

can i get a loan from someone

 

as for the ride being bouncy...its not to bad...its not a constat bounce like cut springs, but yea theres a tad of bounce but its soft and not harsh...can tolerate. for sure it absorbs the road better than stock springs, those were so stiff. $200 for some goldlines installed is a hell of a deal, go for it!

if anyone interested, the wheels on my car are up for sale, they are 17x7 Work VS-MX 3 piece wheels from japan with 4x100 +42 offset. i believe it also has 4x114.3 offset to, has an extra hole for other 4 lug pattern. im asking $1000 obo with tires, they have 85% tread still on, they are 205-40 17 tires. let me know if anyone interesed, thanks
