Contact Luke from THMotorsports. They are the only one you can order them for the X.

Sweet and you have swift springs. Post pics when you get them installed. What did these run you? Any reason you choose these over BC's. Just curious.

They were 1450 in total with the swift springs. Chose these cause a member of a group Im part of just kept talking about how good they are. He has them on his v36 sedan. They also have a 5 year warranty and built in the USA. They also use Amsoil. Just seemed better than the BCs. Will post pics once installed. Hoping to install them this Saturday.

I'd argue the quality is better on the Fortune suspension than the BC set up.

They are very well built. Never used or held a BC coil so didnt want to be unfair in that part. Little update got the rears installed yesterday but im currently fighting a very bad cold and couldn't begin the fronts. Might attempt today if my friend lets me use the garage cause I dont have one and its pretty much going to rain all day.

Do you own these or just blowing smoke?

Can the ride height be adjusted at the mounting point/ bottom of the coil over? Have you installed the fronts yet?

Yea they both can be adjusted by the bottom. The front is a bit annoying since the bracket for the brake line is above the collar that you losen to adjust. You gotta losen the bracket so you can adjust it. Im horrible at explaining im sorry lol.

Update of my installation. I did the fronts but have yet to drive on them. I screwed up the strut mount control arm bolt so now I have to find another one. Waiting to hear back from some guy parting one out and hopefully pick it up tomorrow.

That's good to hear, should be able to keep the ride nice and plush while lowered.

I don't own either set, yet. Not blowing smoke, I am basing my opinion on having seen other BC suspension products versus Fortune stuff.

^ lol.

How's that any kind of personal experience and input. It's like saying, "I heard from a guy, who was told from a guy, that knew this other guy and said his buddy had a set of just the BC's. So I will vouch for just those because they're just better from what I've heard."

Okay...You are right, you are not able to form an opinion with out owning everything.

So everything is finally installed. Haven't really gotten the time (time is not my best friend as of late) to play around much with the height and dampers but so far so good. Rear sits half inch higher than the front since I just noticed my driveway aint perfectly leveled. Front is a bit too low for my liking so gotta raise it up. Hopefully on Wednesday Ill get this all done.
