Default '14 xB lowering spring suggestions

Hey guys, got my '14 xB BSP sitting on 20's, with 225/35zr20 90w. I've been wanting to lower my car for some time now. What are good lowering springs to go with?

The recommendation is relative to how low you want to go.

I want to close up the gap but don't want to lose the ride quality. I've been told the trds are really good but there not much of a drop. So I wanted to get others opinion on some others such as the eibach sportlines or any others out there.

TRDs afford you sportier handling: 10+% stiffer than OEM. Me run/like, until they offer 'em 1/2" lower...
But DF210s are ~1/2" lower, at least as soft as stock, but still won't give you rub problems unless you go massive width/stickout, or encounter really large road-height transitions.

Eibach Prokits are nice...I just bought those...1 inch lowering front, 1.3 inch lowering rear...and lifetime warranty....many say Eibach makes the TRD springs for Toyota, so, yeah, I'll take the Eibachs since they are a little cheaper for the set than TRDs...

Thanks! I was thinking of getting the eibach sportline but I don't know if I have the clearance and whether or not I'll be too low

And the Sportline kit is the one you have to worry about being too low, as the Sportline kit lowers the xB far more aggressively than the Prokit does....if you want to worry about rubbing and scraping constantly, then get the Sportline kit....if you want to tastefully drop the car without worrying about scraping on driveways or speedbumps, or worry about needing fender work for wheel clearance, then get the Prokit....
