Coupe, Premium package, sport suspension
Used springs will be absolutely fine.

Nice drop. How are you digging the ride on the Swift springs? Had any boots rip after the first one?

Car feels alot more planted to the road. Not sure if its the Swift springs or the fact im lowered. Im more confident taking turns at a higher speed rate of speed than when it was stock. I have the dampening bout 75% stiff on the fronts and 50% rear. And no issues with the boots after the first one. Haven't heard any weird noises either. Will give them a quick check when the weather warms up a bit.

Thanks. And yes they are. I eventually would like to remove them. They have saved my doors from shopping carts a few times. Sadly my fender didnt win a fight with one.... goddam shopping lots...

Yea can go lower but X sedans dont like it. Wish I had a pic of how I had it originally. Tore my cv boot when it was lower. Common issue with X sedans. Im around the sweet spot of how low you can go. 26.5 inches from ground to fender is the recommended lowest to go while keeping it safe.

10k/8k was what was suggested for me to go. They asked me alot of questions on how I drive my car, road conditions and if I track the car at all.

You know if the 05-06 coilovers are interchangable with the 07 AWD?
talk to THmotorsports they said fortune didnt make any for the 05-06

and do you still have your order form through them? they are trying to look up the order through their system to get more info on the coilover set-up

That's weird. He said that he talked with Luke from THmotorsports. I pointed that out earlier in the this thread that they don't have a model listed in their application chart but he said they do. Maybe they're selling 07+ sets for our cars?? Not sure.

I don't think they are interchangeable. And I ordered them through Luke from THM. Hes on the forums. Go in the vendor thread and look for the Fortune Auto one. I talked to Fortune Auto before I got them and they told me they are only available from THM for 05-06. Ill see if i can find his company email if anything.
