I'm curious if anybody has done this on the xb2. The rear sits alot higher than the front and I would like it to sit level. I don't want to lower the front along with the rear because if the front gets any lower I will start scraping parking space curbs, etc. Is this a good idea, or will it create handling problems?

 

I would be worried about different spring rates and different lengths that the shocks would be traveling...I don't think its a good idea

 

ive heard that switching the rear springs with first gen. xB springs will level it out nicely.

 

im the one with the first gen springs in the new be just in the rear to level it out it did a good job rides fine no bottoming out no rubbing no bounce worked out well

 

I did this for one day on Tanabe DFs, but only cause I didn't have access to an air gun to do the front. It did sit a little lower in the rear, but wouldn't suggest it on aftermarket springs.

I'd be interested in lowering the rear only as well. I think this with a rear sway bar would look good upgrade handling and not compromise front end clearance.

 

I'm dead set against mixing springs that weren't designed as a matched set for a specific vehicle, but if you refuse to get a matched set of lowering springs, maybe somebody will sell you their rear springs from a gen1 xB. Try asking coryjames since he's on Tanabe DF210's now. (See his post earlier in this thread.)

 

i dont have my dfs any more i sold them a while ago to a kid in town i put the stock first gen spring in the rear till myksports arive
