Most people seem to have 2" Spy or Goldline springs. I think it's split as to how many 18" and 17" wheel owners there are out there.
Personally, I have 1.25" Spy springs, stock struts, 17x7.5 wheels with 40 series tires.
Mine rides better than stock, it's not as bouncy as the stock springs.....they were too linear.

The ride is exceptionally well with the Eibachs, 1.8r, 1.6f
I am used to coilovers and was very pleased with the Eibachs, as they are holding me over until I out the coilovers on.



I am on 215/35/18's

I'm running the Tanabe DF210's 2.2" Front / 2" Back on my box with 18" wheels 215/35/18 tires.







I think the ride is excellent, even with the 18's

Do you have any rubbing on the tires?

I'll be on the TRD struts/springs when I get mine (2 more weeks)
I just wanted better handling and a small drop since the xB will be my daily driver

my xB is a daily driver... i have over 15k miles and drove over 9k with the springs...not a scratch yet. u'll be surprised how well it sits. i don't have to go over speed bumps or up drive ways at 45 degree angles.

i doubt anyone has any clearance prob with 2" drop regardless of the springs manufacturer. TRD springs are over priced and rides stiff...not to mention doesn't look like much of a drop with its 1.25"

funny you say that bluebox!(wassup?)

I have 1.25" drop and I scrap my lip backing down my driveway. I have to drive slow over speed bumps too, but not at a 45 either.

ive had the goldlines on for five days and they feel better everyday. High speed is the most improved id say as it smooths out ALOT.

It seems that no matter what springs everyone used they like the springs they got. That must mean there are no sucky springs out there what so ever. I just want to make sure I dont have alot of bounce to my xb and no rubbing at all with 19"s on. Thanks for everyone replys so far, I hope to see alot more. :D
