Default Recommends for a drop!

05 Xb. Adding 18" Speedy Wheels Lite 7"s / 215 35 18 Nankang NS 2 tires
Want a nice stance
Been looking into the Tein S Tech Spring Set
says it offers a 1.7 in the front / 1.5 in the back
Im sure someone here has an xb with the smae wheel/tire specs
Do the Teins offer a sufficent drop with an aggressive stance?
Or do I go with the Sportlines by eibach with a 2 inch / quad drop??

TEIN S-techs, RS*Rs and Goldlines have nice drops. And so does Tanbe DF210s.

I would stay away from EiBachs. I was not happy w/ them.

The best route is coilovers though.

I know a husband and wife that have an xA with Eibach Sportlines and they love them . they also just bought a box and they dropped Eibach sportlines on it as well. I saw it last week and the Drop looks awesome.

After seeing it I will definetly be going Eibach Sportlines on my box because i am looking for a 2" drop myself.

FYI, we have the Eibach's for your xB as follows:

Eibach Sportline, average lowering 2.0" Front / 2.0" Rear @ $223.00 *

Eibach, Prokit, average lowering 1.6" Front / 2.0" Rear @ $223.00 *

* = Plus shipping.

Buy some coilovers. They give you nice stance AND improved ride quality. I have Tein Basics. Cost me 800 bucks. Im not sure on my drop (DARN ISTALLATION TECHS DIDNT MEASURE THE DROP) but its between 2.5-3 inches. Take a look. I have 17's.

Thanks everyone, you've been very helpful.
Someone smacked my scion in the face today.
Not too happy.
