New guy here! Just got my 05 XB on Wed. and got some Enkei CDR9 18's put on. How much drop can I have with these? I'm wanting to go 2 inches if possible! This is my first import car. I've always had lowered trucks. I've got an 03 GMC lowered 3/6 with coils and leafs so I know how something lowered can ride! I want the lowest drop with these rims but also the best ride for that drop.

 

Depending on your tires.Usually not much of a factor.
2" will be no problem with 18's.

Tuckin 18's on the rear

 

What setup do you have? Looks like air ride. What springs do any of you think I should go with? I want to go as low as I can but ride pretty good too.

 

i think goldlines and tanabes are the only ones who affer a 2" drop but dont quote me on that ****.

 

Yeah I want to go at least 2 inches. Are they pretty good? As far as the ride? I don't know much about imports, just learning! I'm used to sport trucks.

 

K4kas has got goldlines on front and bags in the back. his setup is pretty sick. Jesus whats up bro?

 

I have the cdr9's too and I have tanabes but they are not installed yet. I think tanabes are something like 2.1 front and 2.0 rear its the biggest drop you can get without going coilovers or bags, plus its a good name.. I am sure some other company will come out maybe with something lower but when its comes to something that is safety related I would rather stick with a name brand if I can.

 

not much same ____. no job yet but in a turn of events ive been coming into money lately, so im ordering a bunch of stuff on tues. for the xb. and in sept its my b-day and my mother and wife are getting me some rays g-games for my xb. its been going pretty well actually iwish i was unemployed sooner.

 

The Tanabe DF210's are 2.2" in the front and 2.0" in the rear. BUT, a couple people on here claim that their cars settled at 2.5" all around.
