What kind of spring do you guys recomend?

Im lookin for a drop somewhere in between the S Tech and H Tech...?

Any suggestions.....on any type of springs?

 

h tech , s tech. they're so close in drop either.

 

I say Eibach Sportlines....Very nice 2" drop and the ride is nice. Mine settled in at 2-1/4"

 

I have a fried who has his on the TRD springs and it looks nice but the ride is pretty bumpy. I'm probably doing s-techs in the spring as they seem to be the best drop/ride for the buck but I'm open to hearing more opinions as well.

 

s-techs is what i'm going with...but Eibachs are good too...oh and the TanabeNF's may suit you, that's kind of between the h-tech and s-techs....

 

Tanabes? I though those were the lowest you can go?

 

Tanabe has the NF210 and the DF210 line similar to the s tech and h tech from Tein. The DF is 2" to 2 1/2" drop the NF is like 1.7" in front and 1.1" in the back....

 

Oh I see!!......any pics of a box droped on diffrent springs..already settled? anybody?

 

I'll try to grab some pics of my Shadow Mica xB with NF210s tomorrow or Saturday. The springs have been on for about 3 weeks, but I've covered over 1500 miles in that three weeks. Including carrying a full set of wheel and tires and a full loads of people.

I would hope they'd be settled by now.

If not, I can grab a shot of my bro's xB with NF210s. He's had his for, like, 2 years now. Def. settled.

 

Heres my box with some Tein S-Tech's..

I cant be any happier with these, they ride super nice (better than stock) no rubbing, no scraping outa driveways everything is perfect...

I had tanabe gf210's on my evo ix (i know its not a xb) but it really killed the performance and made my car ride like crap so i was hesitant to buy the tanabes agian and went with the teins... the drop is perfect, i have 17" wheels btw

 

thats a great lookin xB. great job!

 

I love my S Techs.

 

iheartzombies- i thought u wanted some df210 to go lower. or did i misread that somewhere on this forum?

well, i'm on stechs and i love it. however, i',m thinking about df210 because that extra half inch or inch will look better with my new rims.

 

here's an old pic of mine on df210 - it's the black cherry

 

and another one with the two-finger gap on rear:

 

I want df210's, but I won't get them. The drop looks better, but the ride isn't. The roads here are too bad for any more of a drop also.

 

oic. i'm having doubt about getting them also because of the road conditions. and i'll probably have to cut up my fenders even more if i get em.

 

does anyone have any experience with H&R? theyre great on my camry, progressive rate and 2 finger gap all around. those stechs are lookin fine as hell though.

but, with these ridiculously bumpy hollywood "roads", im thinking im gonna stay stock for a while.

 

When you lower an xB, do you need to change the shocks/struts so they dont blow?

 

It wouldn't hurt but as long as you don't go lower than 2.5-3.0 inches you should be fine on stock. I'm about about 2.0 with my stock shocks and struts on S Techs, but S Techs are designed to be used with stock components.
