Default xa on coilovers.

K so here is my quest, install my lip kit and not scrape.

I have df210s now and blown shocks. I scrape the ground a good bit with 16x8 and 45 series tires. So I figure ill get some coilovers to make up for the kit.

Question is, what's the best kit for the money? I want something I won't have to fix or have issues with. I was thinking of going with tien but I'm not sure if they can go low enough. Can some one post up some pics of their xa's with coilovers and how many inches dropped and what brand and size of wheel/tire? I'm leaning most towards teins but the ksport interest me too.....

If you are worried about not scraping your kit you need air not coils. With coils you inevitably go as low as possible.

If installed right air is not a problem and with out it you better get good repairing fiberglass. You will be fixing your kit alot. I know I ran my kit with out it and no matter how careful you are you still scrape.

You don't even need to search, just go to the suspension forum and you'll probably see a thread similar to this in the first few pages if not the first page.


I'm seriously getting tired of these multiple threads which have the same repetitive questions.

Then delete it. Maybe if the searching and indexing of the site wasn't such a piece of ____ and total waste of bandwidth people would use it more. And everyones situation is different. So the same question has different answers for each person. Your simply blinded by ignorance and disply a pretty biased opinion that should be kept to yourself.

Trust me If i had the ability to delete the useless crap on this forum I WOULD! Your situation is no different than the other 1,000,000 people who want to dump the ____ outta their car and still make it comfortable to daily drive. I came into this thread without making any negative comments but if you want to argue with me I gladly will stoop down to your level. So what is this ignorance that I am displaying? The only one here displaying ignorance is the person who spells wrong (You) and the one who failed to use a search (again you).

Go the main suspension forum, 14 spaces down from top (where your thread is at currently) there is another thread about the lowest drop posted by brainneeded_, he has an xA and is looking for the lowest drop, and is asking what coilovers are out there, guranteed he's getting the same answesrs you are, this is why you should use a search. You just added to the problem of adding useless threads on this forum so its harder for the next guy to search for the "correct thread that he's looking for"

not looking for the lowest drop. looking at how low the drop looks. so in reality, not in your land of assumption, your wrong. so why dont you stfu and be helpful and post some links.

like i said, i want to see what the lowest drops look like, not what is the lowest drop available. i know all the measurements and choices, but that doesnt tell me what it looks like

So let me see if I understand this, based solely on your last post...

Your looking for pics of an xA that is on coil overs that are slammed? When your complaining about already being too low and scraping everything. (Im in the same boat, 2-1/4 inches of ground clearance all around, everytime I think of driving my xB it scrapes something...) If your on DF210s you want to move up in the spring world... Try some NF210s or even some Htechs... If your running a 16 inch wheel, bump up to a 17 or 18, all in all that will increase the ground clearance of your car by placing more of something (either wheel or spring) between the body of the car itself and the road...

FYI, a bag setup will run you exactly $1287.. Ive built my own, twice... not because I had to rebuild it, but because other things in life proved themselves more worthy than dragging the pavement... the quality of the install is where people screw up and get lax, creating leaks and misinstalling parts... if you take your time, follow instructions, and dont rush it, in 12 hours you will have an awesome suspension setup for about the price of a decent set of coil overs

You are either seriously fawking lazy or ignorant! Use the search, and browse through the suspension forums, either way you will see pictures of slammed xA's/xB's and will also find out what set up they are running. It's getting to the point that you are putting more effort into making more ignorant posts than actual work. Do some research rather than making useless posts.

Will a moderator please lock/Delete this useless thread?
