well i have been buying stuff for my xb like crazy and i was going to buy the megan racing springs on ebay for like $89 but a friend of mine was selling the hks springs for $200 i bought them last night he said they claim to be a 2.5" drop,

upon installing i put them on the back with ease adn had to stop for the front because i had to goto work which im going to goto here in about 30 mins. right before i dropped the car on its own wheels it was on the jack still and my dad goes "i dont think it will make a big difference" .... 3 2 1 ... "oh my god it looks like a pimp mobile"

anyway heres the compairsion from the front (stock) and the back (hks springs)



















i didnt think it would tuck as well as it did !!! im amazed !! next week im getting my 16x7 rota slipstream on 205/50/16 yokohama es100 tires i hope i dont rub... anyway ill be doing the front tonight - that may be alittle hard but ill post the whole setup tomarrow when its light again ! enjoy !

 

tyte.

 

i like the drop in the rear.

 

can't wait to see what the front will look like. seems cool dude

 

Its toooooooooooo low

 

too low? theres no such thing.

 

2.5" drop is a lot. how easy does it bottom out?

 

looks really good cant wait to see the front

 

yeah i'd be afraid of bottmoing out up front. i know with my stock sturts if i dump it .25 more im just about on nothing i allready shortened my bumpstops by alot.

 

damn !!! the front took me and my dad forever !!!!! well the driver side took about 1 1/2 hours then the passenger side took about 30 mins ! anyway,

its clean and ill show u pix tomarrow, and its not too low !!

 

how's the ride? is it ridin on bumpstops or what?

 

LOOKING GOOD - now it's time for some wheels!

 

Lets see the whole car dropped.

 

alright guys !! i got the front put on, i decided to use the stock bump stops im not sure why anyway

i can DEFFENTLY tell a difference in ride quality, i guess the lower you go the more bumps your going to feel.

oh well though its not enough to make me want my stock suspenion back,

im going out now to take pix.

ALSO, my rims and tires should be in next week, !!!!

 

Aren't you supposed to cut the bumpstops?

 

With a drop like that I would think so.

 

oh well it didnt say it in the tutorial and im for sure not pulling those off again anyway heres the final outcome






















stock pictures when i bought it

 

Is it me or does the back look alot lower than the front :?: :?

 

the hks springs say 2.2 in the rear 2.1 in the front, but i think also the springs must set , maybe

 

that wagon's saggin! I seem to remember the hks springs drop more in rear than front...

dang nab it, two sim. posts in a row!
