Ok, in all honesty can one use an xb as a daily driver, sometimes with passengers with 2" drop springs and stock shocks? I will also run 205/40/17 or 215's with sport max 006 wheels and a 40mm offset.

 

Yes.

 

Great! I searched the forums, all I see is no rub issues. Nothing about bottoming out.

 

For sure I drive my xB 300-500 miles a week. I live in the city and drive 80%city and 20% hwy. I have 2.2" in front 2" in back, im on Tanabe df210s, just went on a short road trip with 3 passengers and the back loaded to capacity with no problems at all. Go for it, its not that big of a drop the factory xB sits so high.

 

it should work fine .

 

it should work fine .

 

I run with a 3"+ drop evry day i have 70,000 miles

 

That makes me feel better! I've only seen pics of dropped xb's, none in person. I'm going for it! Thanks

 

You will be fine. I'm on 210's with Echo struts (Echo struts give the front an extra 1/2" drop). I have sportmax 501's and I have no problems. Like everyone is saying do it

 

Im on 210s with 205/40/17's haha. Never rubbed not once even 4 deep.

My DF210s will be for sale soon, Im getting HKS coilovers.

 

I did it! Df210s. I'm getting 17's and 205-40's on friday! Woo Woo!

 

absolutely ... i do ! df210's and stock shocks / struts. Ride is unbelievably comfortable. I was VERY surprised !

 

Sounds like a hard ride.

Does anybody know, if you keep a 15" wheel, if the ride is significantly hardened with lowering. Does it impact the ride as much as low profile tires on 17's?

 

my nephew is running 15" Rota's with stock tires, lowered with S-Techs, and it rides better than stock. Nice cushy ride with them tall sidewalls.

 

Thanks! I 've been thinking about lowering 2 inches. Partly for mileage, partly for handling and partly for ingress/egress.

 

I have an xA, do the DF210's settle lower than the specs over time??

 

I pmed yah but here is an xA on a fresh df210 drop:



If you get mine it's probably settled about half an inch more than that.

 

I am on Tenzo Springs 1.6" Front Drop / 2.0" Rear Drop. I am also on 18" x 7.5`s Wheels 215/35ZR18 340AA.

I am not sure how much better it's gonna get I hear allot better since even though I am obviously lowered it's not enough with the 18's.

If it is than the next Q would be are the xA and xB use the same part number DF210's.

 

18's are going to fill up that tire gap and look sweet!

Im not sure of the part numbers, maybe someone here could tell us if xB Df210s fit the xA?

 

Sweet sbchev! Now post some pics so we can see the finish results. I just bought my first gen xB a few weeks ago and have had WAY more fun than I ever did over in the Honda camp!
