Yes the rear ride height does not go as high as we want it to. You can contact BC and they can send you out a spacer for 40 bucks I think. It will go on the spring and raise it about 1/2-1 inch I believe.

What I want to do, is put the stock during winter because to give you guys a heads up, all that salt and sand can make a pain in the butt to lower it back down again. Get caught up in the and its hard to turn.

No link to post yet but i work in a shop and called on the kyb gr2s through carquest and decided to check around so i called schucks O'reillys and got a better deal then the kybs, the clerk guaranteed me the struts were made for the x and not just the rwd sedan.

I think it might be a good idea to check all the brake lines. Make sure none were damaged during the CO install.
At this point I would also take it to my mechanic. It sounds like it may be serious (I hope not). I would have him look at and inspect each corner and run a diagnostic to search out the dash light problem.
I wish you luck and hope it's something simple.
