well im looking to drop my 2010 xb and came across what i think is a great deal on these tenzo r gf2 lowering springs at only $69 brand new in box and in town. element wheels in town is clearancing them out and one of the models they have available is the xb2. so i picked them up i figure worse case i could resell them but given the fact that i have a newborn and money isnt plentiful right now a good lowering spring at this price would be a god send. my question is does anyone have these? how is the ride? drop? the ad says 1.6" drop front and 2" drop rear i have 17x8 wheels with a 35mm offset and 55 series tire, will they rub? any input is greatly appreciated i have searched for days and the closest thing i found them on was a xb1 but have even rear reviews on cobalts and srt-4's just to get input. thanks in advance

 

You didn't give your full tire specs, and the drop specs didn't show up correctly, but I would guess that just about any 55 series 17" tire on a lowered xB2 would rub.

As far as the Tenzo springs, you could be the first xB2 guinea pig on ScionLife:

Usually you should ask these type of questions before you purchase, but oh well.

 

sorry the tire size is 225/55/17 and the drop is 1.6 drop front and 2 drop rear. and i know to ask questions before i purchase but im confident i could sell these for more than i paid pretty quick and thats why i picked them up if im confident in their quality ill put them on my car thats where im hoping to get some input. thanks.

 

so how they work out?

 

does anyone know if this lowering springs will also work with my 2008 xD?
right know my scion is stock. i want to drop it about 2" then install a sway bar then get a set of rims, about 18" to 19 or 20 if possible...

 

I'll chime in on this one. I was running Sprint springs and they quoted 2" at all four corners. After sag I was seeing more like 2.3 up front and 2.5 in the rear. In the beginning I was riding on some 17x7 +40 offset with 55 series tires. Absolutely NO rubbing occurred with that set up. When I went Plus 2 with 18x7.5 +44 with 40 series tires, I rubbed under extreme cornering while turning the wheels. You should be fine, as long as the Tenzo specs are accurate and they don't sag too much...
