Ok so i just picked up a 06 xb and want to lower it down. I want to get it as low as possible and still keep the ride nice. Dont really want a stiff spring since i have a kid in the car alot of times. I was also going to put rims on it not sure what size yet but probably 17-18's so that has to be taken into consideration. So basically what springs lower these the most but are not too crazy stiff?

 

If you want a crazy drop without the huge expense of bags or coilovers, go with the Tanabe DF210s. Then, go with Koni Yellow Sport shocks/struts or if it's tight on money, do the Monroe Sensatracs. If this is going to be your daily, you may need to stick with the 17s. Check the clearance on the box with the 2" drop the DF210s give you before you go out and purchase a set of rims.

 

i you want to start with something simple, i've got a pair of TRD springs for you xB. These are the real TRD springs. They give about a 1-1/2 inch drop. it'll change the stance and make it sit down on your wheels a little better.... i know a friend who actually had 19s with these same type springs and never had any issues... you can fit 17s and 18s without a doubt. And, you can always go lower later....

Hit me up if your interested. These go for 179.99 brand new. These have about
10,000 miles on them and i only want 90 shipped obo... Gimme a Shout

 

You want a slam, without a harsher ride, then you need bags.

 

dude, no offense, but bags will jar you senseless!!!

 

not really.

 

Every bagged vehicle i've ridden in has bounced me to kingdom come...

 

I've been in a couple that shot me around and some that were like riding on a cloud. It all depends on the set up.
