Havent really kept with this site since i got the BC coils.

I installed at 42,000 miles. I now have 70,000. And still running strong. They have seen vermont winter for two years.

There set to setting 10 all around. Bumpy roads can get a little harsh, but i still get compliments about how smooth the car rides with coils on.

I have the same wheel/tire setup: 245/40 Bridgestone Potenza RE50's. My suspension is custom built Koni 16-way adjustable struts paired with H&R springs. They ride nice and handle well. I wanna go lower, but deciding which suspension to upgrade to.



















Been a while since I've updated on here. I've changed my front bumper, blacked out headlights, installed junction produce curtains and rope, blacked out roof, and roof spoiler. I'll probably just make a thread of my build b/c I just took up this page..lol

That was my previous setup. I had h&r and custom koni 7 way adj. Shocks up front. Thats the best setup without going coils.

Sweet. He did tell me they were custom built, and that was right before I thought about buying some Z springs...so I hopped on them. Then one day I craigslist searched for more parts and came across his headlights with built-in HIDs and halos...did a swap with 'acr' with extra cash. That was a coincidence.

If you are talking about that one thread nope. I might be the only one that was running close to it. It hard because you got to keep the same diameter f/r for tires. So that might be running a 215/245 on a 9/10 set up to get hellaflush/aggressive.

Here is a pic when I was running close to it.




This is with 10mm spacers in the rear

This is when I had my 20's on.





This is where I have it sitting now. I think this is a great stance and it rides very nicely.





And now for some better picture taken by some better than me. This are pics of when it lowered as far as it can.

Are you running any Camber Kit..Front and/or rear?
Im looking into the BC coils as well. (from Galliano at Marinelli Motorsports)
Just need to figure everything I need so I can order and get it installed...I had sitting this high..lol

Good fit and thanks for the measurements. Looks good. That's pretty close and as best as it'll get for the X's I guess. I like air ride setups when the rim is almost touching the fender, but not sure if they have for the X sedans yet. Nice pics too btw.
