ok, so I bought the Progress Sport lowering springs a little while back, and they did what I wanted them to do...but I want to go lower...and I know the best and sexiest way to do this is by coilovers...but as of right now, I am a cheap bastard and dont feel like shellin out 1300+ (I know, Tein basics $850-$900, but If I'm going expensive, I'm gonna go EXPENSIVE). I want to achieve maximum drop with springs 2+ inches...I know the Tanabe Df210s are I think slightly lower than two inches...or something like 2.2 and 2...but does any springs go lower than that? I know by going so low, I put my struts in serious danger of blowing...but oh well...so anyone got any answers for me er what?

 

bumping my own cuz the recent posts got cleared >:o

 

i dont know how, but can you get your hands on those jdm bB springs by kgmm or whatever? theyre like a 2.17 drop.


you do know the xb spring rates are in the thread above thats stickied right?

 

your best bet are the TANABE DF210's they go as low as 2.2 in the front and 2.0 in the rear... tanabe is a well respected brand they are now owned by SIGNAL MOTORSPORTS... these spring are J-Spec (JDM) and for the price you cant go wrong

 

HKS SF5 springs i saw a xb TUCK 16's with em and almost tuck stock steelies just cost an arm and a leg someone was selling a set in the classifieds for a damn good price i think it was smokey or somthin like that EDIT: heres the link to the sale DAMN GOOD price for very hard to get JDM springs https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=85644

 

that picture posted in that thread isnt tucked. looks like a set of Tanabes...

 

We have the Tanabe DF210s on sale here on SL, if you're interested. Link to the sale is in the signature. Like was said the drop is approx. 2.2 fr and 2 rr.

 

im running some rsrs i got from japan although u can prolly pick the same ones up over at the shop in carson i think my box is running 2.8 just springs, but i think i have a prototype set or sumthin cuz no one i kno is lower then me unless they have bags or coilovers

 

I almost got the RS-Rs but I got a better deal on these and they were supposedly the same drop...2.8 tho? the ones I was looking at were about 2...

 

I am running RS-Rs and the drop is around the 2.0 mark in the front and about 1.5 or so in the back. I like them, but want to go lower and get a smoother ride. I think they call that an Oxymoron..........hrmm

 

How long does it take Tanabe DF210's take to settle? Anyone? I just got mine installed this last Monday. I'm not too satisfied on the front drop, that's why I'm curious.

 

I recently installed hotchkis on car Xa and its been about 1 week and the drop seems to be signifcantly lower now... maybe in 2 or 3 weeks ill have the final product.
