First Lowered xB2 with PICS
I believe that this is quite possibly the first and lowest xB2 (besides the 5 Axis) ...................................For now................
Today, Chris (n2htwlz), Bob (RMS), and myself met over at Randy's (RANDODE) house to check out his wife's, Kristal's, new xB2...This vehicle is ONE day old and Randy already is wrenching on it...Randy in his majestic ways someone managed to use Gold-Line springs to lower this thing over 3"...In the front we dropped over 3 inches and the rear almost 3 inches...I will let Randode explain how it was done, but I do know that a mixture of tC and xB springs were used...
To all the haters and naysayers out there reference the new and improved xB just give it a chance...I was lucky enough to be with this car for over 3 hours and check it out completely...These things are NICE and the features that are included are amazing...By the way, the Blackberry Crushed Metallic color is incredible...It changes colors and most of the time it has a rootbeer brown tint to it...
Without further wait, here are the before and after pics:
BEFORE:
OLD VS NEW:
FIRST JACK UP:
SECOND JACK UP:

SNEAKY BASTARD:
THE SPRING DIFFERENCE:

TIME FOR THE REAR:
REAR SPRING DIFFERENCE:
THE REAR IS DONE:
PROOF = NO PHOTO SHOP:
ONE HAPPY WIFE:

Minus sizing rims
Since you guys have obviously gotten up close and personal with the xB2, I was wondering if you noticed how much clearance there is between the front brakes and the stock rims. Is there more than an inch? Less than an inch? I'm trying to determine if there is any possibility of putting smaller rims on the car.
