What are some of the best lowering options for an xB with 15" wheels?

I would love to improve the cornering and stability of the ride even further (make this feel even more like a go-kart!), but I don't want to create a harsh ride since I've got kids in the back. I also don't want to go so low as to risk bottoming out or getting stuck in snow.

Here's what I've got to work with:
* In the summer, I ride on Yokohama AVS ES100 (205/55VR15) with Kosei K-1 racing wheels.
* In the winter, I've got the stock tires and steel wheels.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :D

Thanks,

 

I would suggest you consider one of the following spring sets. Both sets deliver about the same amount of lowing for a great look without compromising a great deal of the ride. Limiting yourself to these drop rates will more than likely allow you to run your current Summer & Winter tire/wheel packages without any rubbing issues.

H & R Sport Springs, average lowering 1.5" Front / 1.4" Rear

Hotchkis Sport Spring Set, average lowering 1.4" Front / 1.6" Rear, includes new bump stops.

wow those prices are great. any idea how much an install would be?

does the void dealer warranty?

 

*sorry - double post. computer hiccup*

 

yeah a dealer could void warranty but it depends if theyre dicky or not. i'd say go with h&r's or hmmm maybe goldlines?

 

I have Tein s Techs and the ride is about the same as stock, much better handling by lowering the xB by 1.5".By the way i am on 15" rims. Hope this helps.

 

should i be concerned about this: 1.4"F 1.6"R for the hotchkis? i don't want my xB leaning back.... or am i just completely unfamiliar with what these numbers mean...

 

I'm running 18's and Goldline springs w/ 2" drop with no problems.
