2nd gen xB lowered with Tanabe DF & 18's


I recently lowered my xB with Tanabe DF210 Springs. I was really hating the big wheel gap (especially in the rear) when I had my 18's on. Now, the box looks so much better.

i can really tell it has been lowered because when i approach the trunk, the roof is more visible =D

Any tire rub after the drop? I have a 2nd gen. with 18" TSWs with 40mm offset and 225/40s. I would like to do the same, thanks.

The xB looks sweet bro. I'm waiting to get my rims. Still debating on which rims I want. I might get the 19' SSR or Monarch rims.

tanabe springs are fully compressed when released. So there won't be any sag after period of time.

Re: 2nd gen xB lowered with Tanabe DF & 18's

Hows the ride? Any tire rub? Also wondering if camber angel is jacked after you lowered it. I just got an 08 Xb and will be lowering it real soon. I used to build Hondas for years and I had to use a camber correction kit on almost all the cars i dropped. Just dont want to be burning through tires every few months for a 2" drop.

looks sick though!

Re: 2nd gen xB lowered with Tanabe DF & 18's

Pissed. I purchased a set of Tanabe Springs from a store on ebay. Paid immediately via paypal. The guy send me a message saying they are on back order until September? WTF why would you list anm auction for an item that you do not even have! Im sad..........Well, lets hope they refund my money at least so I can order from somewhere else. September is going into Cold season in Chicago, have to drop it sooner than that!

Re: 2nd gen xB lowered with Tanabe DF & 18's

So the company that I originally ordered from had Df210's in stock. It will probably sit a little lower than I hoped, but I seen a lot of 08 Xbs on Df's and they do look fucking Rad as hell. I wll post some pics this week everything is all set up.

bBisto, I think it looks awesome! Does it rub with/without passengers? I have my df springs right here, I cant wait to get them installed.
Can you post a picture of your car straight from the side? Please..If you have one.

Thanks
