Default TC springs on XB

Does anybody know if the TC springs are compatible with the XB? Will it even make any difference? I can't find the spring rates or any info on the stock parts so any info would help. Thanks. Also if anybody knows what car(s) are compatible with the XB i would also appreciate that.

why? xb springs and struts are cheaper than the ones for the tc in most cases. and the tc is alot heavier, so the spring rates would be quite stiff wouldn't they?

i figured if someone is selling their stock tc springs cheap it would be an alternative to buying new springs to lower my car. thats why i was wondering if stock tc springs would even lower my car or give it a harsh ride. any other ideas?

Not to mention the fact that they don't work, at all.

Don't bother. They won't fit.

The tC uses an entirely different setup in the rear.

check the classified section. people are always selling lowering springs for the xB at really good prices.

I don't think I would ever really trust putting stuff on my car if it was made for another car, unless it was the same platform.

don't say that, i haven't had a single problem with the honda s2000 antenna i put on my tc. these are two clearly different cars, but this pard is completely interchangible.

My Element antenna is doing good too.

i tried it with some TC drop springs i accidently ordered. only in the rear though. the springs were supposed to drop the TC 2 inches. They didn't drop my XB even a 1/16 of an inch. plus, the end of the spring on one side is too big in diameter, so it didn't fit in the cup very well. it looked like it would fall out very easily if i just happened to jump the set of railroad tracks down the road (which i'm not saying that i've done once or twice before.) ;)
