I finally got my xB and im looking to get it lowered. Ive read alot about what people think are the best springs. Since i dont know too many people with xBs id figure id ask you guys! I think I have it down to 3 springs Tein S-techs, Goldlines or Tanabe df210s!

I am looking for the smoothest ride since it will be my daily driver, and I drive ALOT for my job. Both city and highway roads.

So come on yall, PLZ help me out!!

 

df 210s

 

Come on yall help a brotha out!!

 

I had Goldlines on for a while. I really liked them alot. (I switched to and air-ride system for show/cool factors but boy I wish it rode like the Goldlines) They give an excellent ride smooth but not too soft. They totally eliminated the hoppy tendancy of the stock rear springs and shocks (I used the stock shocks). I did not have to drive it more than 1/4 mile before I could tell that I loved them the ride was that much better...very impressive to me.

 

Tanabe df210's w/ Tokico HTS shocks (adjustable dampning) I got um, i love um

 

Bump for more opnions!

 

Tanabe air cobra system, all you have to do is fly over there and pick it up

 

i have s-techs and love them but i think the tanabe df210 go the lowest for springs anyway

 

df210's are the best- mine is a daily driver too, GO WITH DF210'S!!!!

 

I have eibachs sprotlines 2" drop and they are great. Great handling and great ride.

 

i'm on s-techs and monroes....the ride is better than stock...

 

^^^ Dude it doesn't matter what springs or shocks you use, you lower the car and your ride will never be the same. If it was better than stock it would come that way from the factory.

 

dont just get springs. get TRD shocks (or another performance shock) also. you will blow you the stock shocks after a few thousand miles. Then the ride will be extra bouncy with a side of body roll.

 

Not always...My Intake is is better than stock, but our cars don't come with it stock.

 

x2 the cars didnt come lowered because not everyone wants to lower the car.

 

Yeah, some people like the 4x4 look

 

haha few an far between but i guess so haha...i have springs in the mail and i cant wait to get them on!!!

 

This is TRUE!! It likely will not ride the same!!.. What is refreshing is that Goldline 2" drop springs drastically improved the xB's ride over stock IMO(other springs I have not tried so who knows) ....most times the ride worsens rather than improves with lowering (often by very small degrees)...handling generally improves even if only due to a lowered center of gravity.

 

Handling of course is improved but the ride is always not better than stock dont get me wrong I love the ride of a lowered car over stock but I wouldn't say it's a smoother ride it's a stiffer ride sometimes a bouncier ride sometimes. it's different due to the change but if you take it to someone that is use to the ride of a luxury suv or luxury car they'll tell you real quick the ride is not the same. This is IMO of course by the way I love a stiffer ride.

 

I feel more secure, more planted to the road on a stiffer ride, I like it.
