The UPS man brought me a wonderful present yesterday!! Progress Coilovers :D Too bad he showed up a lil late, cuz shortly after his arrival i had to head out. Got back last night around midnight and was sooooo ready to put em' in.
After the intall i took it for a test drive........and let me give you my .02 \/\/\/
I was amazed by the design, fit, and finish of everything! Heavy too!! Unbelievable quality. Everything fit like a glove. I couldn't be anymore pleased with the ease of the install. The next thing that blew me away was the ride quality!! I've ridden in both Tein Basics and D2's and i'd have to say by far i prefer the Progress! The ride is stiff and very very responsive. You feel the bumps and dips in the road but everything stays stabalized. Firm ride with strong suspension to back it up. Not one of those stiff but soft (when the bumps come) bouncy rides that you get from some other companys.....*cough*TEIN*cough*
The box handles like a Go-Cart and has the ride quality of a sporty luxury car. I LOVE IT!
Now onto the pics \/\/\/\/\/\/
I have the back adjusted all the way down, and the fronts are only adjusted 2/3 of the way down. The front is crazy, you can literaly adjust the front to where you can sit the front bumper on the ground. Not drivable that way, but nice to know you could if ya wanted. Currently i have the front about 1/2" lower than the back. I could get another 1/2" out of the back if i remove the rubber grommet under the collar sleeve, and then i believe i heard you could get more by swapping in a shorter shock. Something i'll look into
These things are amazing and soooooo worth more than $699 @ PartShippers.com

In about a month, you'll see the box rolling on some 20's, but ya didn't hear that from me, hehe

looks good same set up as you but im already rollin on 20's, if your roads are good and you do enough banging of the fenders you can roll with the rear all the way down, which tucks the tire almost completly, trust me your gunna love it.
/\/\ what offset? I was hoping with the right offset i wouldn't have to roll the fenders
youll ive got a 45 offset with otg spacers, so im guessing with out the spacers youll be fine with only minor trimming and cutting
i have OTG's out back already
It is looking really good. I would definitely consider dropping the rear that extra 1/2". Personally, I just don't like the look of a rake on an xB. That is the only thing that kind of bugs me about the DF210s I installed on the wife's car. Maybe I'll just add some weight to the back. 
ive still got a 1/4 of an inch to go in the rear in the pic, it might be easier if you remove the spacers, but thats up to you
dang, that's hotness
looks great with the drop.
have the same coils but the
rear is too bouncy for me. getting
new shocks in the back should to the trick.
i'm on a 2 finger gap with the 15x8 +0.
and usually rub on dips/bumps.

im on TRD shocks out back
ya you might wanna change to some monore sensatracs makes a huge difference, i was running the trds before i switched to
I have an odd question, how high will the coilovers go in the rear? I have alot of weight in the back and coilovers should do the trick but I want to make sure the coilovers will raise the backend up.
/\/\ it'll go all the way back up to stock ride height
Alrighty, well this morning i readjusted the rear. Removed the stock rubber stops and what not, anways, it dropped the rear another 1/2" and now its about even all around:
/\/\ why not?
