k-sport springs questions

[MurByrne]

My 1st gen xB is on 17"s right now, with a 215/45 tire on, and im looking into buying some springs. I was wondering if anyone has used k-sport springs. Would i have any rubbing issues? How is the ride quality? also, pics would be nice if anyone has got them. I dont want to go too low, so any other suggestions on an alternative if these are too low.

thanks all

how about quality. How do they hold up compared to others, how is the ride?

not sure, i have their coilovers and i love them, but thats a whole other ball game. if you want to ride quality and want to go with lowering springs, tanabe df210s i think are a preferred spring to go with

i think they might be too much of a drop. Minnesota's roads suck. I'm starting to think about tein s or h techs. hmmmm

ive been through minneapolis (sp?), apple valley, le sueur, among other towns...i live in tulsa,ok...we have the shittiest of shit and i ride with 4+ inches of drop

[TastyTuner]

i think you be fine with the kports or tanabes. although i will say that your winters kill oklahoma winters so idk.

[MurByrne]

im thinking about going with Tein H Techs. I want a more subtle drop. TRD and H Techs are both about an inch, and ive heard better thing about the H techs

[MurByrne]

i think im going with s-techs now. I know, I know, i keep changing my mind. Well i've decided on s-techs now. There wont be any issue with my 17"s with a 215/45 tire or my 15"s alloys with a stock tire.

[TastyTuner]

none, youll be fine

[MurByrne]

thanks for all the help. I've found some s-techs with a couple thousand miles on them for 125. Good deal?

sounds good to me
