i think its in the suspension sticky,, not sure though... a friend of mine track races his EVO.. He recommended these springs to me also, along with all the positives I read on here about them, he's had any spring you can think of and said he likes the sportlines even over his $1400 coil overs he had.. so I definitely took that into consideration.. He said the df210 weren't bad either though, but he preferred the sportlines...

Actually, it's the only one in the sticky that does not have its spring rates listed. I've had at least 4 different coilovers on my Mini and M3 and even the crappiest of them were better than a spring setup with stock shocks. Your friend must've had a nice spring and Bilstein/Koni shock combo, but the XB2 only has the TRDs from what I understand.

Either way, I just want a stiff spring so I won't rub in the back. The Tanabes are comfortabe, but they are way too soft, especially when you have aggressive offset wheels. This is the first car I have ever had that I didn't buy coilovers from the start and I regret it every single day! Damn it!

I dug around on Google but couldn't find an answer. The spring rates are still the same but the price shot up.
Yup, Sportline springs with 2 swaybars. Eibach is done doing R&D for the swaybars and the kit comes out late April. shox.com with shipping should be under $500. I already have the Tokico blues waiting......

I went stock struts/shocks with Eibach Prokit springs (didn't want a deep lower) -- easily stiffer than stock springs (also using TRD sway bar). From what I've read, NF210 is very similar to stock stiffness, so if you want a stiffer spring than stock, it's a bad choice.

Personally, I wouldn't want mine any stiffer -- seems not far from rails now !

shox.com has them at the best price. I've bought my past 3 suspension set-ups from them and NEVER an issue.

I love the handling of the Sportlines. It puts me at a really aggressive stance and in combination with my wheels, I get a lot of head turns. lol

The jolt is fast over bumps with no residual bounce from previous stock springs. The ride is still very much close to stock, but I can definitely feel the road more (bumps and the like). For a very low car, the Sportlines ride really nice.

I agree !! now that they got a week on them they seem even better, everyone at work noticed right away seeing the car out in the lot.. thats how much these drop it!! if people notice just by walking by... lol

the drop made my car look 100% even front and rear,, didn't measure and all that but it look perfect.. my buddy has a real nice new wrx and he's jealous now.. he want to get them too..

we measured 6 fingers in the rear down to 1 1/2,, almost 2,, 2 is tight,, so thats a ton of drop!!

very very happy,, some day when I have a camera handy I will take pics.

Very nice! I love the drop and those wheels really compliment the color of your box. IMO you need some chrome door handles and probably a chrome tailgate garnish, too.

Well, Eibach is NOT going to make swaybars for the xB due to lack of interest. So no Sport-Plus(or Pro-Plus) spring/swaybar sets for under $500. FRICK! THEN TAKE IT OFF YOUR GD WEBSITE EIBACH!!!


AND, I missed out on the $180ish deal some of you got! Oh well, they're on the way for a tad under 2 bills.

I wish that, too. And then I remembered I'm driving a box. lol

Oh well, the ride is very nice. I laugh when I see people in other cars go over speedbumps and their cars are all over the place. Mine handles them nicely, at least when going over them slow.

From the spring drive today. The Tokicos actually felt better after 100 miles into the drive. Put about 400 miles on today.
