got the dc strut bar and precision muffler exhaust and cai and 17" wheels with 215/40/17. now i herd the srear sway bar is good but for the same money i can get lowering springs. ($150-200) i like the progress sway bar and i dont want to drop it alot maybe 1.0-1.5 inchs. i like the gold line springs or the tein h-tech. is it hard to put the springs on? do you just install them and its done? let me know what you think.

IMO i say drop it. Its a must for all xBs! The Goldlines are a 2 in drop. But the H-Techs are a 1 inch drop or so.

 

Drop it. Theres a writeup in the tech section on how to do it. Also, an alignment is a good idea a few weeks after the drop (to give the springs time to settle)

 

i say lower it. my xa needs it bad my friends xb was dropped right away gets rid of the large wheel gap thats annoying to look at and will give you more response than just a rear sway bar right now imo.

 

I agree with the previous posts. You will want to drop it before you put on you install a sway bar. If you are only looking for a 1.5" drop or so I would say go with Tein H Tech. If you want more take a look at the Tanabe DF210 or the Tein S Tech.

After you drop it, then you can determine whether or not you feel you need the rear sway bar for better handling.

 

I'm dropping my XB tommorow. Tein S techs.

 

Drop it! I'm running the same tire/wheel size as you and had the H-Techs put on. For me it's perfect and it is a smoother ride than stock.

 

I would Drop it First , what a difference it makes , I have the TRD Springs Dropped the front 1.5" and dropped the back 1.75" .what ever springs you choose , its well worth the money .
