I WANT TO DROP MY XB BUT I NEED SOME ADVICE

I GOT 2 KIDS AND MY WIFE

WE DRIVE THE CAR FOR EVERYDAY USE

IM LOOKIN FOR SPRINGS BETWEEN 1" TO 2" LOWER THAN STOCK ONE

IM DRIVING ON 18" RIMS 215/35/18 tires

WHAT BRAND or MODEL, CAN I USE WITHOUT LOSING RIDE CONFORT[/b]

 

I to have been wanting to to "Drop my Box" but living in Buffalo NY I was thinking of going with coilovers so I could raise it back up in the winter.

Saw these ...

What do ya think?

 

I have Tein S Techs and love them but I don't have kids. They are 1.7" in the front and 1.5" in the rear. For a softer ride I've heard the Tein H Techs are very nice.

 

I have the Hotchkis springs and it's not a severe drop - only about 1 inch around. Looks great and still good ground clearance.

 

I HAVE THE TEIN S TECHS AND THE RIDE IS GREAT. IF YOU DONT DROP IT ENOUGH YOU MIGHT LOOK AT IT AND FEEL SORRY. I HAVE A BIG SYSTEM AND USUALLY HAVE ONE OR TWO FRIENDS RIDING WITH ME AND ITS NO PROBLEM AND I STILL HAVE MY STOCK SHOCKS.

 

stop typing in all caps!

it is considered yelling.

 

First:





Second:

I have 2 kids and drive my box everyday with a 2" drop, and I used to be on 18's. The springs I have (Goldlines) actually ride better than stock in my opinion.

Partshippers.com has Progress Tech springs now that are supposed to ride even better then Goldlines with the same amount of drop.

 

I'm on custom TEIN springs for my TEIN Wagon coilovers, and I have three kids.

I have RSRs and TEIN S-techs in stock also.

 

goldlines will work nicely for you

 

I got eibach pro kit springs the car rides better then stock and looks good to

I have goldlines. They ride fine until you hit the big bumps. Car has 17s and I noticed big difference in ride 'quality' after the drop when I hit a rough patch of road. I would think with 18s it would be a even worse. Might want to try the Tein H which I believe is about a 1" drop but can't vouch for them.

 

tein h actually ride crappier than goldlines. i though oippisite too but was proved wrong

 

Ouch. Guess there isn't much you can do. Once you lower a car you have to expect the ride to get a little worse on the bumps.

 

sorry for the caps and thanks for the help
