Default Springs? Coliovers?

So i have been looking into lowering the box and not sure what to buy. I seen some really good deals on some coilovers but there not a common brand ive seen around. so just wondering what you guys are runnin...

If it was really my option i would say screw it and bag it but the hubby dont want another bagged vehicle!!!!

Heres what ive found...

LOL yes it was quick. But i couldnt resist. for 440 shipped for springs and sway bars, its a pretty sweet deal. Thought i would pass it along. Sway bars do help the TC a little more then the xB but they still do make a noticeable difference.

I knew you were a "she" since your screen name kinda gives it away, LOL. If you are looking to save some money, PM me an I can get your a set of nice lowering springs without spending an arm and a leg.

Bags are cool, but are more of a headache then just some simple springs.

Default springs...hmm

Springs don't seem to lower much though....I guess maybe it depends on the spring? Air sounds like it might be the least expensive for the lowest height?

If you want cheap and a decent drop. DF210's and Echo struts. Your looking at about 275.00 tops. The box will ride better than stock.
