Quote: trust me i know how hard it is to roll low, i scared that the highways wills have the middle part raised because i always scrape hardcore on that.

Got any side shots? just wanna see how low everything is lol I'm on 18's and my rear still have like maybe 4 threads left, and my exhaust is 1.5 inch off the ground...
Very Nice, anniversary 18s done right.
looks like u can use lil more low in the front too lol. I have borla exhaust so i'll see how that goes cause of the dual piping.

my rears are maxed out, but im on 220mm springs and 19s. 200mm will come in this week, and i'll also be removing the lockring on top of the springs. when I swap them out, i'll get side shots.

I had them when I was on eibachs, but they were painted gunmetal, wasnt really feeling them. Original finish looks 100xs better.

If ur not on the floor with those sizes, U'll be sticking out like a 2-3inchs lol.
And it's tough lowering the X that low, cause crossmember, Frame hit the floor over like 1=2inches of imperfection on the road.

But, going about another half inch or so lower, and throwin on the OEM lip, almost not driveable.
Suck to roll hard
dont your arms hit that low? when i was that low, my arms hit on any little bump.

Doesnt matter if you cut holes (which I did) you still hit something else. There is a brace that is under that my control arm hits also. Time to do some more trimming on certain stuff. Pretty soon I wont have a body. lol

1. Megan Racing LP Street Coilovers (Also have SPC Rear Camber arms installed)
2. Lowered it around 2 inches all around. Still has alot more to go
3. Very firm but smooth at times. (The northeast is pothole territory and it takes everything pretty well. Its stiff but forgiving)
4. No problems what so ever. Love them
5. Have about 10k miles on this setup
6. Like I said no problems. Everything is holding up perfectly
7. 245/40 ZR 19s Goodyear Eagle GTs

Hey man you seem to be one of the few X's that is REALLY REALLY low so figured id ask you, Front passenger side CV axle, do you "tear" or "rip" the CV boot alot? I cant lower my front anymore because i just keep ripping the boot
