Default 19's + 5 axis lip kit= what springs?

So the wheels came in today, and my 5 axis lip kit is out getting painted as we speak, now I just need to lower this thing. What springs do you think I will be able to get away with. I know the Tanabe NF seem to be the way to go, along with the TRD springs, but are there any other options other then Ksports? I would like to be a low as possible without causeing to much trouble scraping the kit up. Any help?

Yeah I'd be hesitant to go anything lower than NF's or TRD's. I've seen a few pics of a xB with the 5 Axis kit and Tanabe DF's, and while it looked awesome, around here I would definitely scrape a lot. Plus with 19's, you have potential for tire rubbing depending on tire size. So I'd play it safe. I guess a lot depends on what the roads are like where you drive.

The good thing about the lip kit is it gives the appearance that the xB is much lower than it is. The dealer where I bought my xB has one with the 5 Axis kit, TRD springs, and 20's. To me it sits perfect (except for the big bling wheels).

Oh, if you don't mind, how much is it going to cost for you to have your 5 Axis kit painted?
