Default which coilover for lowest ride

I was trying to get air ride, but since wife aint working, It will be at least a year or more before i can go air. So, I am ordering coilovers next week. I am down to ksport pros, scionpro d2bd, or tanabe sustec pro so-c. I like the ksport pros, but dont like how the abs lines bolt up or zip tie up. Guy I know has the scion pro d2bd and he is LOW. Any suggestions from these 3? Im on df's now with 18s

i had d2bd before i went air, i didnt like them when i had them...but looking back i actually miss them and would take them again in a hearbeat. ohh and if you're not dead set on the randode kit and would consider the airlift/scionpro kit hit me up...

I'd opt for BCs if I were you. Get them with a higher spring rate since you seem to plan on going low.
I love my KSports, though. I think their spring rate choice is great, but could be a little stiffer. The D2BDs , I feel, are a little on the soft side. I have a friend running them and they ride nice, but not as stiff as the KSports. As I recall, their spring rates are the same for the 1st and 2nd gen.

the rear spring rates on the d2bd for first and second gen are the same. looking back on when i had them i agree that the spring rate was a little soft for the rear, i turned the dampers all the way stiff and it still seemed a little soft when i was running them.

I'm running Megan racing coilovers on my 2011 xb. I'm sitting on 19x8.5. When I installed them I went full drop and it wasn't drivable it was so low. I love them, almost smooth as stock. Well worth the price.

Megan racing for the win
Add another 1.5 inches drop and that is how low they go, I had to bring them back up it was undrivable.
