Default Kenstyle lip kit and lowering springs

i currentlt have the tanabe DF210's on my xb and it is LOW..... my Tokico HTS adjustable shocks and struts will be here tomorrow but within two months i will be purchasing the kenstyle lip kit and it will be too low with the DF210's..... does anyone have pics of xb's with drop and kenstlye kits or any advice on what springs to go with?
i am trying to eliminate having to change the springs again.... so when the stuff comes in tomorrow i plan on waiting to put them on until i get the new springs that you guys persuade me into buying so that i do not repeat myself in a few weeks

it might also depend on what size wheels you have...
ex:
i had 19's with DF210's with a kenstyle front lip...
no problems at all..... a lil low but not bad.

now i'm on the stock steelies and the lip scrapes at every drive way going in and out... i have to be very angled for it to be ok.. know what i mean.

hope this helps.

I have the kentsyle kit with tein s-tech springs and 18's in front and 19's in rear. After removing the one ton garage rear spacers, I have not had any issues with rubbing. As far as how low, the front lower lip has 5.5 inches clearance and the rear has 6 inches from the pavement: you have to watch out for steep drives and curb stops.

how low do the tanabe DF210's make the stock box?
isn't it only around 2 inches?
i was thinking of getting these.
if they are really low i'll just get the NF210's

Ok heres my take. I just got this and have the DF210s. The kit is going in for paint today but I tried it on it is very low for me. Im on 17 running 205/40/17 tire as well though.
Heres my front lip


The rest of the kit will go on this weekend or next week and ill take some measurement...

will do Zach...we are hoping for friday to be done so if so new pics will be this weekend. Now that I got the kit it will be time for some new wheels. 18s probably because this kit is pretty low with 17s and I need to drop it another inch..

Are the DF210's a 2 inch drop in both the front and back?

That looks a lot lower than the guy who has the orange kenstyle kit .

The orange KS kit is on S.Techs which don't drop as low. Also a 19" wheel is going to make the box sit a tad higher than the same box on 17s.

The DF210s settle to lower than 2".

I've been searching for a urethane kensyoe replica kit

Anyone know a site that carries them
I don't mind scraping I usually put griptape from scateboards under the cAr so u don't get spiderwebbing.
