I just bought a 2012 XB super-white and I love it, so much so that my 370z Nismo has taken a back seat!
So I am new to the game here and I am sure this has been talked about somewhere but I have read and read and cannot find anything so please be gentle with me.
I am starting my build and am trying to figure out what lowering kit to go with. Shoes I want are 18x8 +45 sporting 215-45-18 rubber. I am trying to figure out what lowering kit will give me the best look and handle, here is what I am considering :
TRD .5"F and 1.5"R - These level out the XB I think but I don't think this is low enough overall for my liking...
ScionPartsPeople - Genuine Scion Parts and Scion Accessories
Tanabe DF210 1.7"F and 2.2"R drop - These I don't think it will level out the hicked up rear down enough, the .5" diff just doesn't meet the math.

Eiback Sportline 1.2"F and 2.2"R - These are my top pick out of the 3 as they are lower than the TRD and the 1" diff seems to meet the math to level out the ride.

Help a newb out and tell me what you think, should I adjust my thoughts? Are my wheels and rubber combo good for the kit I want? Is there a better setup that I am missing?
Thanks a ton for any input - Toasted
