My Xrs is so 'Hi-Tech'!
Recently installed 9thGen Tein H-Tech Springs on my 10thGen Xrs.
Love the way it looks, can't tell much of a difference on ride quality
Drop went from 4 fingers in the front down to almost 1, 5 from the back down to 2
One picture for now, will post more pics when I have a chance to get some
Also 'red-ed' out my tail lights
Now that its dropped, my stockies looked tucked in. I plan on keeping them but I want to get wheel spacers, any reccomendations?

Id say get some 15-20mm spacers. Maybe not even that much. What's the offset of the stock XRS wheels?

If I'm not mistaken they're +39
I got the 'answer' from googling it and I found it from another site/forum.

Wow that some drop on H techs. Would love to see more photos when you get a chance. Did you do a camber kit with it?

Don't plan on doing a camber kit, don't really like the style of angled wheels

it depends really, if you drive it like you don't care and hitting potholes and such, it won't last past 65k i've heard depending on your mileage. some even last up to 100k
anyways
Nice seeing your car progress man! we're like ying and yang. we both got our cars in the same months and now have very similar mods! haha
nice drop btw!

Yeah, I checked out your garage, and I think upgraded wheels will make it look better.
I plan on keep my stockies for now, probly just plan on buying eBay wheel spacers. or maybe if i can find a set of descent brand name ones...
