Mild 06 xB

I took some photos today to show off the new wheels and tires after a wash. Not much done to this one other than a suspension upgrade and the wheels. More to come later.

Yep, that really looks good! What suspension, wheels and tires are you running? It's a combo that really works well.

I'm looking for POM (Picture of the Month) material for our inaugural POM. Do you have any hi-res pics with good backgrounds? Post 'em if you do.

Thanks,

Greg

I've put most of the details in other parts of the forum. For those that are interested:

Hotshkis TVS Stage 1 suspension (lowering springs, replacement front sway-bar, add-on rear sway-bar). Gives about 1.5" drop and 25%-35% stiffer roll.
American Racing 17x7 Haze wheels with Hankook HRII 215/40R17 tires.
TRD Cold Air Intake.

The car is well balanced with just a mild push when reaching the limits of the tires. Fun to drive and very predicable. As this is a daily driver, wanted to not go overboard with springs or tires and this seems to be a good match.

Looks good. She'll look even better when you use some of those Griots (sp?) products on her.

(Well, at least you are good sounding out names. That is the correct spelling for Griot.)

I'll get to practice with them on the wife's car first. The paint on the hood is not holding up very well. The cleaning clay will have its work cut out for it trying to get the crap off. If this stuff can take care of that mess, it will really make the box shine!

Have you considered debadging the hatch?
It's way cleaner.
