My girlfriend got an xB and i'm having her lower it with everyone's favorite spring, the DF's. I know that by themselves they are fine for driving and clearance (have them on my tC), but i also want to put the underbrace on it so the car is more fun to drive when i have to drive it.

I'm concerned that there isn't enough clearance with the car lowered with the DF's-- surely someone is running both of these on their car?



It looks like it sticks down about a quarter inch, but that may be enough for it to start scraping on speed bumps.

Yay? Nay? I should just get a stb? Leave it with just the DF's?

Post it up when you do! I'm looking to have the springs put on at Autobacs in a couple of weeks. Hopefully I can throw this lower tie bar on too. How low is your xB?

ehh shouldnt scrape just as long as you dont charge down places with speed bumps..

looks good though.. any word on cost?

why would it scrape? I'm betting it's not even the lowest piece on the car. Not to mention it looks like it's only 1/4" thick

yea thats true..im pretty sure the only way itd scrape is from actually putting yourself in situations where it SHOULD scrape..like parking bumps, riding curbs, and the like.

is it a heavy piece? can you really feel the chassis become more rigid after the install?
