08 xb spring drop eilbach or hotchkiss
eilbach, hotchkis.anyone have the info on what lb springs they each use. i have the hotchkis on the car and my tires are barely rubbing in the front and the rear its to mushy. are the eilbach's stiffer springs.

What size tires & wheels (including offset) do you have?
If you're rubbing on hotchkis springs, your likely options are to change springs to a milder drop, or change wheels. Knowing your tire/wheel specs will help me answer the question.

Didn't remember the other thread... If you're barely rubbing on the front, then 225/35 tires will probably solve that issue. But when it comes to solving the "mushiness" issue, I repeat:
COILOVERS!!
Thanks vegan. BTW, what was "severed"?

thanks for all the answers. im on 235/35 19 tires. the rims are 19 8.5s. you know how bad the roads are in los angles.i was thinking that the hotchkis front springs drop the car 1.4 and the eilbach drop it 1,2 mabe that .2 will make the difference. mabe the answer is coil overs. but dosn't that make the ride hard? and who makes the best coil overs.

i wouldn't say really who makes the best coil overs set. it just depending on your own prefference if you want more track or street and what you willing to pay for. i'm still waiting for more sets to come out and see the pricing before i buy something.
