Ok so I am a super noob with car thing. I'm getting my xb on friday and I plan on lowering them as soon as I can. What all do I need other than the springs? Like on my maxima it was recommended that i get new struts as well as the springs. With the xb will I only need the springs? Like I said ima noob with the modding thing. Please help! Thanks

thanks! haha so the stock struts/shocks(whatever their called) can handle lowered springs?

edit: now for another question. I know theres been many a threads with ppl liking this set of springs or that set of springs, but which set has the MOST even drop?

The rear is about 1.5" higher than the front on a stock xB. The most even drop comes from the Eibach Sportlines, with a drop of 1.2" front and 2.2" rear.

Here's the spring drop comparison link:
