^ H&R's are very comfortable springs, but they slam you.

the two rings towards the right of this pic... whenever you order from a vendor here, just specify it is for an X and they will throw those in the box as well they would raise it about an inch

those go between the spring and mount up top? ive never been happy with the ride height fully up in the rears, thats why i pull my coilovers off every winter.

I was part of the original group running BC coilover for the AWD guys. That was about 2-3 years ago.



Which vendor has it, i didn't see anyone mention they have it, other then the "swift spring/helper spring" in the vendor section

Anyone want to sell me yours?

You can call bc and order them. I have them for the winter season, but wish I had stock. Riding on 13k front and 10k rear not the smoothest over rough winter roads. Plus when I want to lower it down, I have to take them all out and clean because of the sand and crap.

did you get the taller 255mm spring with the 10k rear? how much was that.

i'm talking to BC right now via email. I have the 230mm 8k, they told me 255mm is what they ship with now. And the gold spacer is no more.

length and spring rate are printed on the springs.

I'm trying to get BC to trade me 230mm for 255mm rear springs. Because rear at full height is about a 2-3 inch drop almost.
