i have searched all over this forum and i can not seem to find it, i know there is one for the 1st gen, but i went through all the pages on here and found no offical thread, just the NF210. I just bought my first XB 09 SW, very different than my civic but im happy. I been into hondas since i was 13 so this was a hard change for me, lol even letting go my White Hatch, which took me 3 months to find since they only made white in 2000.

But anyways, i would like to see the 2md gens on these springs, i been contiplating over the hotchkis and the DF210. They say the Hotckis drop lower than the DF's but the numbers say different. I mean i carry both brands but just seeing what you guys/girls think about these over the Hotckis if there are any comparison. Thank You

GO WITH THE SPRINT SPRINGS THEY ARE WAY LOWER THAN THE TANABE SPRINGS

 

yea i was thinking about the sprint as well, thing is i saw a couple threads on how the rear looked lower than the front. plus just worried when i carry ppl in the car.

 

i like my DFs and its low enough for me to have dragged bumper a few times

My buddy is running Sprint springs on his Fit and his rear shocks are blown after 11k miles

 

I have the Hotchkis TVS and couldn't be happier.

I've installed 2 sets of DF's on 08 xB's and I still think I'm lower...

 

According to their respective specs; your front should be a little higher and your rear should be a little lower, than the DF's.

 

thats wat im saying, the specs on the hotckis say they are a lil higher than the DFs but ppl seem to say the hotckis drop lower for some reaon

 

I'm on stocks, but I can take some measurements if you want me to!

 

which ones are u on? sprint? hotckis?df210? any pics?

 

Hotchkis.

 

damn that looks really good. very nice drop, hows the ride? ever been in a car with the DF210? u personally think the hotckis drop lower than the Tanabes?

 

I've instaled 2 sets of DF's and my Hotchkis'. I'm pretty sure the Hotchkis is lower. But then again, the last xB I threw DF's on has 18's with a larger tire. Next time I see him I'll measure.

Ride? I think it rides great! A lot better than my past S-10 with heated coils and a leaf from each side removed... A friend of mine told me that my car rode better than her boyfriend's stock xB. Another friend of mine has a Matrix and she told me that she thought my car rode better.

Soooo, I think my car rides awesome! :D

 

HOTCHKIS PRIDE!!! LMAO!

:hides:

 

Take it back to the Hotchkis thread fanboy...

 

lol everyone can express there opions on there suspension.

 

Not in the Df thread... you dont bang crip in blood territory cuz...

 

LOL

 

DF210s on (F)225/45/17s and (R)235/45/17s...

Once these tires wear down, I'm going back to my old 215/55/17 setup because the ride was SOO much nicer on these springs and filled out the gap a lot better too...

 

what the size on those wheels? 17x? offset?, look great on the DFs. i was thinking sprint springs but i wanna add the bomex lip kit on mine. but i think it would be too low with the sprints.

 

im also on DFs.. pics!
