So guys I know the front sways from a rwd wont work, but ever wonder why. Well let me be the first to show you. I actually think it may work but there will be a clearance problem. Here are the pics.







There are a couple of thing prevent it to fit also. One the collars on the aftermarket bar could be move down alittle. Also on the stock endlink there a something on it that I could bend up to help it fit.

Wow The Difference In dimensions Is visibly noticeable Plus In The pics it looks as if a few of the mounts were a bit outa line. Other than That It Looks As if It Would Work, But I Can easily see How ground Clearance Could Be An Issue, Do You Know If There Is Any Difference Between The Coupe And Sedan Endilinks, And Whether Or Not They Are Interchangeable.. I'm Gonna Look Into That.

That is a good eye. I actually got them Apintojr. He only had the fronts and he sold them to me after I bug the hell out of him for them. I am just testing them out right now.

Hey guys, well I finally installed my H&R's for a sedan on my X and I have to admit the ride is great, handling is great, and looks awesome. The only problem is the shop that did the fender roll totally f-d it up and cracked the paint all around the wheel well obviously because they didn't use a heat gun, still my own fault, but thats another story. Its been approx 72 hrs since the spring install and the springs have not settled evenly. The passenger side is approx 1/2" lower than the drivers side? I hope its a spring settling issue but not the spring install malfunction. What do you guys think? Oh here's a sneak peek, sorry for a lousy pic and a dirty car, I'll get good pics once I fix the fenders.

I had it pretty low, but a couple of hard bump over the weekend made me raise it back up. One day I will slam it and take some pics, but for right now I am fine where it is at.

Subscribing to this thread in hopes of an update on some coilovers. Any word yet on the Attack Racing or the other company that was listed? Anyone who has the VRT for a long term(6+ months) want to comment on how they are holding up?

Yes they will, but they will drop the X a little bit lower than a normal Sedan.
