I'm gettin my Xb today, I will be putting 18x7.5 rims on it. I am looking for real feedback on which springs are truly better and wont kill my suspension, and am I looking for any trouble running 215/35-18 with the drop. Thanx again all.

 

goldlines are good! that's what i got and a lot of other peeps have them also. I recommend getting some OTG(onetongarage) spacers/shims for da rear wheels. 215/35-18 are fine with a 2" drop!

 

the flat spacers ? to bring the tires flush ? or to cut any rubbing out ?

would 40's be to tall, would the ride be any better ?

 

to bring da tires flush. most peeps use 35's and your better off with 35's anyways. check out our forum desert & salt!

and most of all, use the "search" button

Happy researching, it took me awhile to figure out what I wanted.

 

I would highly recommend the Tanabe DF210 springs for a 2" drop.

Also, before you go buying spacers for your wheels, post up the offset specs and we will help you determine of they are actually necessary.

 

Nah i suggest the Megan Racing springs. go for the higher spring rate with a little raked look.

 

did research and checked previous info, but specs dont necessarily help, experience does. Thanx !

 

anyone know how to determine the offset? is there a stamp on the back that lets you know? i have the trd 5 spoke 19'' package and for the life of me i can not find out. I asked the dealer where i got the car, and damned if they knew!

 

I have Df210s (dropped 2" or more) and They are very comfortable to ride on. Spring rate is up only 15%, so it's not that big of a change over stock. Also, I'm riding on 18x7.5 rims with 215/35 tires. No spacers, no shims, and no rubbing at all.

 

^^^^ Same here. DF210s.

 

I can't tell a difference between the Hotchkis and the Goldline. They look exactly the same and if you measure them the drop is exactly the same. They both ride good but I like the Hotchkis spring better. Just my $0.02

 

Maybe because you sell Hotchkis, but not Goldline?

 

I would recommend Eibach Sportlines. It gives a great drop and the ride is awesome. the spring rate is alittle higher than goldlines so they are a little more agressive. I haven't had one complaint about them.

 

No not really. I just think they ride sligtly better.
