Lowering?

s9e9t9h · 09-07-2008, 02:29 PM

I have a 08 xb and I wanna lower it with springs but I dunno if I should. I have 18' rims that I don't want to rub and I have so many speed bumps and even larger ones that are called speed humps. I don't think it would be a good idea to lower it. What do you think?

it depends on how low you want to go..I just installed sprint springs on my 09 xb and it is slammed.

Do you rub with 4 people about 160 a piece on the sprints?

Rubbing also depends on the offset and tire size you're running on your wheels. I was riding the K Sports on bump stops up front tucking an inch of tire and not rubbing one bit on the stock steelies before "upgrading" to the TRD 19s which needed a good half inch of fender clearance to keep from rubbing.. Hotchkis sways help quite a bit with the cornering where most if any rubbing occured. I also have the coils set to extremely stiff
