I've been trying to find a picture of a Csharp on an xB but have had no luck. Anyone have a pic stored away somewhere? I'm really interested in this rim, but I fear it may look waaay too small. It doesn't look like it should be a 15 inch rim; looks much tinier.

Those would look sic on an RS3.0. I say go for it!

mk6111

I really think that they would... I'm just a bit apprehensive about the size. I want a 15" rim for sure, but they look so small!

bB2NER

They are only small if you are used to looking at 18 and 19 inch rims. 15s look right on an xB with some drop.
I actually got a set of chrome 15s to run besides my 18' TRDs. I like to switch back and forth just for change.

mk6111

Yeah, I'm just a complete newbie when it comes to lowering springs and what-not, so I would have no idea what I would want.

Those would look great.
Get a set of DF210s and you're set.

15" isn't that small.
Here's mine on 15" 501s and Tanabe DF210 springs.

____ that looks good. Do you have to worry about scraping your bumper a lot? Because even without being lowered, I scrape every now and then. How much lower is it than stock? Can I get my toyota dealership to install for me or would I have to do it?

I have no problem doing it myself if I just get some good instructions.

Edit: I would much rather install them myself, but I don't know how much the necessary tools will cost. It seems it would be cheaper to have someone else install.

You can do a spring install with basic hand tools. The DF210s are pretty soft so you don't need a spring compressor.

They settle just over 2". I rarely scrape, but I take driveways slowly and at an angle.

Cool beans. I really do want to lower my xB but I'm not sure if I want to lower it THAT much. Are there comparable springs (in quality) that will only give me an inch or inch and a half or drop? From what I've been reading, there really isn't anything comparable to the DF's.

Edit: And do you rub at all?

Big_Bird

narconthree (sp?) has them on his box. I'll see if I can find a pic. They look really sharp. Im also thinking of getting a set.

mk6111

Cool beans, thanks big_bird.


Thanks for all of your help, guys.

Big_Bird

Not a great pic but you get the idear

mk6111

Wow, I like that a lot more than I thought I would. I will be purchasing them soon. Just gotta find a place that has 'em in stock and for a decent price. I would totally buy from discount tire direct, but they are fresh out.

Big_Bird

They look much better in person, I really like these wheels. And you cant go wrong with 15's for the box. I have been rocking 15's and love it. Im lowered 2" on 15x6.5" 195/60/15. Love the ride and handles really well.

And on his box his is running wider tires, 201/55.15 if Im not mistaken.

Here is mine on 15s and Tein H Techs. just over 1 inch drop.

mk6111

Yeah, I think the h's would be a lot better for me. I don't want more than an inch or so of a drop I don't think. How was the ride?


It's just a predicament; I know I will be happy with either choice and the df's may look a bit better, but I don't want to scrape and rub. Hmmm. Can't decide if I should just go with the df's or be safe with the h's.

bB2NER

The Hs ride really nice and tight. I also have Monroes all around to tho.
Spring choice are always full of compromises. To me these are a safe way to be lower than stock but not run the risks involved with being real (1.5"-2.5") low. I'm very happy with the look and ride!

burstaneurysm

Damn, Bird. Those are ACE!
The lip is deeper than I expected. Anyone know what the offset is?

Sciond

here I am dropped over 3" on coils and 15" Konigs

bB2NER

^^^Scott, those look hotter on BCP than they ever did on a TCM! Nice, especially with your crazy drop.
