I am wanting to do something to me xb, but am unsure which direction to go. I like the lowered look of my old xa, however the ride was rougher on the ebach prosports I had. I like the way the xb handles with the upgraded sways and was thinking about going with the 5 axis body kit for that lowered look.

I guess one deciding factor would be, how does either effect fuel economy? I know when I lowered my xa it helped fuel economy. I know lowering it would make less air for it to cut through, but also a body kit would limit what air could travel unde the car as well.

Thanks

 

NF210 springs, and the 5Axis lip kit. The NF's will drop it just a little lower in the rear than the Eibach Pro-Kit, but will ride much better. It won't be so low as to cause rubbing problems with the lip kit, like some of the heavy drop springs.

Asked and answered, next.

 

we can lock this
the almighty cionide has spoken
haha

i agree

even though im slammed on ksport coils and im still thinking of going 5axis too
haha

 

Good luck with any lip kit slammed on coilovers driving on soCal roads.

BTW, when & what wheels are you getting for that bad boy?

 

springs are overrated. :D

You can do Tanabe 210 with a 5axis kit and it'd still be DD drivable.

 

yea well waiting til get rims to see if i want lip kit or not
yea i know i want my ride sexy but practicle
cant avoid every speed bumps and steep drive ways all my life

when i get like $2k
haha
well i was really wanting the gram lights 57maximum ceramic white
cuz everyone always has black but now im not sure if i still want white
kinda leaning for all black but only ones im really liking right now are the SSR type f
but they are like $650 a wheel
i would like the black gram lights 57 maximum but if they didnt have the red lip

so to answer your question cionide
when i get $2-3k and make a decision

 

Both springs and body kit are doable? Hey, I scrape the cat every now and then on country roads. I know most springs lower the rear more than front, making the front sit about the same. Since I like the ride, was leaning toward the kit.

Let me ask since you are the expert, whats a good source for vent visors for the windows? I liked them on my xa as I could leave the rear windows cracked, however the front ones rain walked up the vent and into the window.

They were tinted and in track type. I see tommy sells outside stick on ones that seem to be tappered half way up, maybe that prevents rain from walking up and blowing inside if the front windows are cracked. Whats your take and supplier?

 

just go to weathertech.com

 

i was going to insert my own little words of wisdom here, but cionide hit it on the head.

 

Any reason the kit does not include a wing?

 

cuz the lip kit is made by Five axis
and the spoiler is oem
