Seriously, so much gap. Gap for daaaays.

I still give my buddy with DF210's a hard time because of his gap.

I was also thinking about how funny an XB must look with the rear riding lower than the front but who takes pics of their fully loaded XB? Don't mind me though...

I also don't get "hella-flush", "stretched", "poked", "stanced", "staggered", "cambered", "VIP" or any of the other strange things that kids do to their econobox cars today.

I had to buy a second car because last winter I realized that even TRD springs made my XB unacceptable in any appreciable amount of snow. I could get around okay but it's no fun scraping bottom everywhere and ripping plastic pieces off because my car sits ~1" lower than every car that went before me.

I suppose we should add geographical location to the list of things to consider when choosing springs...

Lol, it's all good. People always have to say something. It would only bother me if I was building my car to what other people thought rather than myself. I like how it looks, I like how it rides. THAT's what matters to me!

Well said. I agree and hope I didn't come off too serious in my previous posts. I like what I like, others like what they like and it's all good. My original point was only that there are benefits to a little front to rear rake even if it doesn't look as cool when empty and parked.

I completely agree. And it doesn't help the fact that in that picture (as well as currently) I have the back end of my car gutted in order to start laying down sound deadening material... lol

I recently installed a set of TRD lowering springs and they're great, I love them. I was just wondering if anyone has adjusted their headlights to compensate for the modified ride height? And this doesn't really matter but it'd be interesting to know: are TRD lowering springs essentially Eibachs? I've read a myriad of posts all over the place.
