Greetings to all members! I just registered yesterday after driving home with my new TCM xB. Paid 16.1k OTD for a base 5speed.

My question is that will the sub add to the drop? If so how heavy was your box and how much did it add to the drop.

 

i had trd's but just installed stechs 2 weeks ago. i have a jl10w3 in the hatch in the audioformz enclosure and the front of the car is a little bit lower than the back.. I had df210's in the car for about 3 weeks and took them out the back sat slightly lower than the front with them

 

the car is going to be lower in the back with or without the sub...its just the rules lol. and a single sub shouldnt make that big of a deal in the drop.

 

How much lower did the S-tech's make your XB than the TRD's. I have the TRD's but I want to go lower, thinking about the S-Techs. How is the ride with the S-Techs? Do you know if they will work well with the TRD struts and shocks?

 

honey0bucket thats not the case with all springs. swede the s techs are a noticable difference from the trd's. the ride is a little softer with the stechs to. I would go s tech if you want a little more of a drop

 

Petey is right. On my wife's xB with DF210s the front is noticeably lower in the front. Adds a slight rake. Sometines I wish we had put her sub in the hatch instead of under the seat to help level out the car.

So in my experience I say go DF210. They provide a rake on an otherwise stock xB. The additional weight in the rear (depending on how much) could level you out.
