Im looking to Lower My Gen 2 xB But i dont want it to be too low, New York Street's are far from perfect. After the Winter im gonna be getting a Set of 18's.

Anyone know What the TRD Springs Drop the car too?

I know the Tanabe

NF210- 1.0 Front / 1.7 Rear Drop

DF210- 1.7 Front / 2.1 Rear Drop

 

TRD is about 1"F/1.5"R. I bought the NF's for two reasons: don't want quite the drop of the DF's (even though it looks great), and want a more compliant ride. If you can wait a couple weeks, I think I will have the NF's on the weekend before Christmas. NF's are spec'd to be about 5% stiffer than stock, and from what I have been able to gather, the TRD's seem like 15-20% stiffer. I'll be putting on the TRD sway bar to give better handling in turns, w/o sacrificing the better ride on freeways and other straight line driving.

 

For reference here's mine with the TRD's:

 

The Tanabe NF's should drop the rear just a tad more than TRD's. It all depends on how much rake you want.

 

Daily driven for a year on df210s no problems, do it be happy and dont look back, seems like people waste money on a drop and them always wana go lower. my2cents

Yea, I read that they are only 5% Stiffer (That kind of Sold me on the NF210's) I am also a Heavy daily Driver, car is always being used going all over the place. I Would Love to see the Pic's Once you have the Springs installed , proble gonna buy the Springs after chrismas Since my birth day is the 28 of December.


I have seen a pic of the NF 210's on a black xB and it looked relie nice but i gotta say DF's realy even out the hole car im just worried about the car bottoming out on New York Street with the DF's.

The TRD's Have a Great Drop but i feel it should be a tad lower.

Now im also looking at Eibach's But i feel the Tanabe's are the ones to get right Now,

The Pro Kit- 1.0F / 1.2R (Rear still no as low than the NF210's )

The Sport Line Kit- 1.2F / 2.2 R (Looks Nice)


Is Tein Comeing Out With Springs Or Coil Overs For the Gen 2 xB????

 

coilovers would rule, any word

 

K-sport already came out with some coilovers

 

I know this is Uber late but I'm modding my Xd ad would like to know why is the rear drop bigger than the front? Wouldthat leave the car leaing forward?

 

Just take one look at the forward rake a stock xB and you'll see why all drop springs made for it have more drop in the rear than the front. The stock suspension is setup so that if you add weight to the rear it evens out the ride height between the front and rear, but empty that leaves the rear higher than the front.

 

I see. I like the mild drop that the TRD springs offer like in the pic posted but they don't sell them for the Xd anymore so I'm out of luck. The closest thing are the Tanabe NF 210 and DF 210 but I'm worried that they are not engineered to go with the TRD shocks and struts without any alterations.

 

They will work fine with the TRD shocks and struts, there isn't much difference in drop or spring rate between the two.

 

that's great news. So if I pair the Tanabes with the TRD shocks/struts the performance and longevity of the suspension would be better than with the Tanabes and stock struts/ shocks? There's just that technical question in my head of how would the aftermarket springs affect the TRD struts vs. the TRD springs.
