i just threw a set of tunabe dress up form 210 springs on mine and i couldnt be happier with them,the ride is great,at times there even smoother than stock! but they do remind you that your car is droped when you hit rough road,the drop is a little over two inches and im told theyll settle a little more ,i havnt scraped on anything but i take driveways at an angle,they handle awesome, and they are the cheapest i have come across ,mine were 160$ my xb no longer leans in the turns,its un real how much these springs made a difference.i dont know if these are the best springs out but i gota say im totally satisfied with them.

I agree with iglooxb. I have a set of Tanabe's on my xB and could not be happier. I cant compare them to any other but for the $$ they cant be beat. Thats my opinion.
