I am trying to do the same thing, I have placed order of EIBACH Pro Kit 4214.140 with stamp EW4214001VA front and EW4214002HA rear.
This will lower the body by 25mm for XG type, 2001 model.
Will update the result when it is installed in early September.

You may want to check eibach.de

Hi friends....


Could I just ask you :


Why do you need to lower your cars?

My XG30 is low and I wish to have it a little bit higher...

Sorry for disturbance but wish for all happy times.

my reason is that i have 18" rims and 235/40 tires witch lifted the car a bit.the wide tires give me a much better handeling,bet the suspension is a bit to soft and it gives me to much body roll on fast turns(sort of feels like i´m driving a boat).so the springs will give me a bit stiffer suspension witch will improve the balance of the car.
i know it´s not a sports car bet a luxury car.Bet i really would like to have the filing of bough :P .


and the second reason is that the car will look much better ones it´s a bit lowered
im in my late 20´s,so you know :D



In my case handeling and looks are the main reasons

dont forget - once you've lowered your car to get the tracking checked out and adjusted on a rolling road or you'll burn your new tyres out in no time at all.

Yeah - the insurance companies in the UK are the same - one slight modification without telling them and if you have to claim - they wont pay. Even if it wasn't your fault!

My Eibach springs have not arrived yet, they did not load to the containers! I still wait for end of November to get my lowering springs.

Currently I am using 215/45ZR18, Michelin Pilot Sport on 8 x 18" rim. I am thinking of changing the tire to 235/40 due to load factor reason, current size could not stand for bumpy Indonesian roads
