Well, Progress only gives the specs for a Yaris, I think it's 1.7"/1.8" drop, and then they just state the drop on the xD will be more because the xD is heavier... plus, my personal size doesn't help matters either, I'm over 300 lbs - it's like riding two people in my car even when I'm driving alone, haha!!!

I'll have to take some closeup pics of my wheel clearances and post them up - it's pretty tight... when I insert my finger at a 45 degree angle between the top of the wheel and the fender lip, it's a tight squeeze - about 3/4 of an inch clearance when sitting still with no one inside!

Haha, maybe I should just glue metal strips to the outside edge of my tires, so everytime they scrape the wheel well SPARKS FLY!!!

Uh, at least it'd be a cool effect for the next glow-off competition!!
