I am currently on TRD springs and 18inch rims with a 225/40 tire and the ride is good...The important thing is make sure you get a 40 series sidewall...Not only does it help fill the fenderwell, it improved the ride even more...I also don't have to worry about scraping parking blocks and such and I even have a body kit...Hope this helps...

cool thanks. im thinking on doing the whole trd setup shocks springs sway bars and the trd wheels. i just want the car to handle a little better but i dont want it to beat me up over the rough stuff. did you notice any difference in the handling with the springs? lowering the center of gravity and all.

Trust me you will not get beat up...The TRD springs are not that aggressive of a drop...The handling when lowered in conjunction with 18's makes the car handle 100 times better...Takes away ALOT of the body roll...

LOL, once you start you wont be able to stop...Look at my pics by clicking on my little speedo picture...I started with the Gen1 xB RS2 then sold it...Bought the xD RS1 and it started all over again...Modding is an addiction...Enjoy it!

I started off by saying I wasnt going to do anything with my xD because I went a little overboard on my xB but now the xD is at turbotoyota's getting turbo'd...Good thing that it was through sponsordship or I wouldn't be doing it...Good luck with your ride and make sure to post pics...
