I have Goldline 2" springs and my xB look like it a tad bit lower in the rear. I looked through the registry and noticed this on most of the lowered xBz.

The Tanabe springs don't. 2.2 in front, 2 in rear.

 

yup, most of the springs: spy, goldline, eibach, sprint all sit a tad lower in the rear

the Tanabe DF210's sit lower by a touch in the front (why i bought them)

you could allways cut a 1/4 coil off of your front springs to even it out a bit...

 

they appear that way because the rear wheel well is lower on the body. The side skirt is level. I am planning on cutting my front springs (spy) to see if it can be corrected.

 

i've got the tanabe df210 springs on my xb and it still sits lower in the rear i just got my trd struts tonight so i'm gonna cut a coil off the front when i put them on

 

my tein s techs sit lower in the front....

 

most of the jdm companies lower the front a lot more than the rear
so the car is even all around.
new companies in america haven't fixed that yet..
IE: spy, gold line and whatever else.

im running df210's.. i had nf210... they both are even steven...
and tein's are good, rsr's are good(bumpy) but i've never seen this height
problems with jdm springs...

 

the eibach is 1.6 in the front and 1.8 in the rear. Really wierd, but mine is even and I even found that if you cut half a coil on the eibachs you can level out or get the rake you want. CUTT only if you are unhappy and the rear is sagging.

 

the reason for the sag is that most compaines make one spring for both the xB and xA (eibach/hotchkis/etc...). so on the xA it has the correct height, but on the xB it sags in back.
that's why i got the tein s.tech springs - their specifically made for the xB and have the proper front sag.

 

I got the goldlines because the pick on their site still showed a slight rake (2 front, 2 rear = normal but lower ).

Now I'm all worried, I can't handle the sagged look. I wouldn't want to cut the front down though, cause 2 is plenty. Is there a way you can space up the rear? I was thinking of something like a piece of rubber to help with any squeaking too.. but is there a risk they won't seat or will slip out leaving xB pieces all over the road? I think 1/4 to 1/2 would be plenty of height.

Thanks!

 

yeah my Tien's are .9in in the back and 1.1in in the front sits nice

 

no mine doesnt... :?:

i am still debating on cutting my Eibachs. I am getting kinda tired of the sagged look. I want a more aggresive look. It was supposed to settle in 2 weeks which Eibach claims. Its weird some days looks good and other days it kinda sags. I installed them on December 14.

Hey Stylis..should I cut the top or the bottom of the coil? I know I asked you this before but I forgot. 1/2 coil should be sufficient I think

 

you want to cut the bottom of the coil, but dont call me Stylis

 

sup Randode. I did not call you Stylis. I quoted his remark..

Thanks for the reply I will cut the bottom.

thanks again

 

How was the ride with the nf210's?

 

i know, i was giving you a hard time. :D

 

no problem man..thats what i thought..

 

I installed nf210's on Sunday. Personally I think the ride sucks. I'm extremely disappointed. They " DO NOT" ride better than stock. I would like to drive someone's xB that has goldline's ,spy's ,or the df 210 and is running 215/45/17 tires and rims. I ready to take springs back off. I think the back sits lower also but it's only been 3 days.
