Long story short, put on the Z shocks with your revised springs, they are too stiff for even the sedan sport shocks. Unrevised are okay with sedan sport shocks.

check this sticky first: "!!Look here before starting a new thread!! 2003-2006 Sedan FAQ's" - which you'll find at the top of the '03-'06 forum.

then check the Tech section, Brake & Suspension forum. tons of material on this topic.

Before anyone answers those advanced questions, can you tell me if these tires will fit my car? What offset will I need? Can I run this staggered setup on my X?

If you have the revised shocks, without question install them as well. Yes they are valved more firmly then oem sedan shocks, but you get two critical benefits.

1. Shocks that are 3/4" shorter then oem sedan shocks, helping keep bump travel at a decent level.

2. Rear shocks that were actually designed for the 25% increase in rear spring rate, something that I don't feel oem sedan sport shocks handle very well.
