I'm currently sitting on TRD springs, commute 140 miles round trip to work. Would you recommend the Sportline springs or stick to the TRDs? Thanks.

Depends on you. If you want to go for a more aggressive drop, go for the sportlines. I have them and the ride is still smooth as ever.

You might get some useful info in this thread

These rims are Azul Speedmesh 18X8, with 225/40-18 tires. I do not rub at all, and the only bottoming out I get is from the mudflaps I put on; they touch occasionally. Non-mudflapped xBs should have no issues.

225/40-18 should work great on those rims.

thanx and what is your offset? your setup looks completely flush i've seen many owners on this forum w/8.5+ and it looks great also but they have some rubbing issues. you did mention that you have trd shocks, would that be the reason you got a 1.5 instead of 1.2? also do you know whats the avg. drop for owners rolling w/sportline and stock shocks?

I don't think any of the other sportline owners have taken as in-depth measurements as I have. I also don't think that the shocks/struts had an effect. The only effect shocks/struts have is the nitrogen charge, and it is almost nothing next to the weight of the car.

Wheel offset is 40mm, yours would tuck in just 2mm (0.08") more.

Hey guys....

Im on Sportlines, with 16 inch wheels. No pics taken, but I wrote down before and after measurements. When I get home from work tonight, I will post them up and try to figure out how to get a pic up as well.

They are great springs, ordered them through drivewire.com, best price I've seen.

Yep. $199.00 is the same I paid. They were doing free shipping as well.

As for measurements, I think similar to what you have posted on other threads before BigFieroMan.

Before Measurements
Driver side: Pass side:
Front: 26.75 Front: 26.75
Rear: 28.25 Rear: 28.25

After Measurements
Driver side: Pass side:
Front: 25.25 Front: 25.25
Rear: 25.75 Rear: 25.75

Here is an unflattering pic of my XB. Note that Im only on 16 inch wheels, so the look is a little different vs. 17s or 18s. Im very happy with the Sportlines. I feel that they are great for everyday commuting use and have dramatically improved the over all handling of the Xb. Have had only one issue where rubbing over a speed bump was a problem, but was carrying 4 adult passengers.

I prefer the Eibach's. I have had them on my last 4 cars now.
Only time I did not is when I took the sportlines out and put on Ksport coilovers.

This is my xB on Sportlines and 20's.

About another 1/4" in the front & 3/4" in the rear.
