Default tanabe dress up form springs

I ordered the tanabe dress up form springs today. $178 shipped to my house. I'm switching over to those from my trd springs right now. It is a 2" drop. I doubt that my tires will rub, i have 195/50/15 size tires. Does anyone know if i'm ok with that and i won't rub. I just want to make sure.

i don't think it'll rub...i'll be getting those too ...and i have 215/45/17.

the following info is of course for an xB>...

it's a nice drop... 2.2" in the front 2.0" in the rear...

u might not notice the full extent of the drop until it settles ...which can take up to a week or so...

but i think Tanabe's are great springs at a great price.


here's more info...

I brought my tanabe springs back to ups so they can return it to options auto, then once options auto recieves the wrong order, they will send out the right order..ahhh..what a hassle, oh well :?

Yah for the xB. I clearly told them "scion xA" on my phone order..errr oh well. It will take i'm guessing 4 days to get my springs now. I really was hoping to get them installed by import fest, but i guess thats out of the question..err

I had mine installed... make sure you cut the bump stops that they give you and use the larger half.. gives it less of a bumpy ride i test fitted a pair of 18's on my car.. rides perfectly w/o rubbing
