$1800 is the total price with everything included. Fei is talking about the replacement cost of the custom arms.

Dont know what u got but this is what I have !

04' X
Everybody knows coilovers are a much better suspension, than lowering springs and shocks period ! I had Eibach Sportlines with Tokico Dspecs in the rear and 06' shocks in the front after a couple months the front shocks started taking a Sh*t , any car that is lowered with whatever suspension will never be like stock so just forget about it however coilovers are the best way to go I am extremely happy with my VRT Coilovers the ride is definitely impressive and look at that Dumped X Damn it looks Sick ! . Oh and that chin spoiler is from Grubbs infiniti for an 05 Sedan i stuck on my nismo body kit

Its too late now. I've already had to pay out of pocket for new front stock suspension since the stock parts received were damaged and rear wasnt included in shipment. Had nothing to do with insurance. More so timing in getting my parts.

Im glad u updated the parts, it looks good. Like i said rear looks nothing like mine. Now that i have them off and can see them.

Yes I would like to take advantage of Money BAck Guarantee. Do you want to send back rear coilovers as you already have fronts?

Please send me an email. FYI, your rears were two piece and the new ones are a single coil and spring.

Thanks.

Hey mraturbo, what is your response to the following comment? I was ready to pull the trigger and buy these but then as I went through the thread, I came across this.

They are a good shop, but I highly doubt they have the capability to manufacture coilover systems. They might modify them, but not make them.
It would be better if they made it clear who the maker is, but business is business I guess. Imagine if VRT closes its doors in a couple of years, which Im sure they wont....and you need your coilovers serviced. You would be SOL plain and simple.

Thanks for replying in so much detail to my post.

Why do i need to send you an email? You have all my info.

Like i said, new one looks alot better. So how could I have rear adjusted if its 2 pieces? Spanner wrench is no good as its a set spring. I've asked serveral times on adjusting the rear.

How do you adjust height on NEW ones and adjust harshness? Mine couldnt be reached in the rear. Do you have pics of them on?

Well i dont see anyone else trying to make any kind of Lowering suspension for the "X" . All i know is that Im definitely happy with mine i can lower or raise and also adjust the dampening on the car front and back , that front horseshoe looking thing is the main issue and it seems to me that they have created a solution for that , I have been Tossing my car around trying to see if any issues but none so far the ride quality feels great compared to Lowering spring which i had before "Eibach with rear Tokicos Dsp 7's. any suspension shop can adjust coilovers if you cant do it yourself as for the rear dampers u have to take off the coilovers adjust and the dampening and put back on , but that was the same issue with the tokicos the adjustment **** sits on top part of the shock definitely not accesible . VRT Coilover are definitely Recommended for your X.

Its kinda hard to believe the credability of someone's review when their car is on the advertisement of the product in question. That's like asking Tony Little what he thinks of the Tony Little Ab Lounge...kinda biased feedback Not to diss or attack vulcanraven1, but just having your car in the picture with the product makes me question your review AS A CONSUMER.

So far, the only un-biased feedback (Heck...the only feedback aside from vulcanraven1) we have of this product is from G-Mony who has nothing to gain from his review.

Glad I found this thread, otherwise I might have made a rushed decision (expensive one too!)

Anyone hear from JIC yet? I'm really anxious to get something so I can safely lower my car

I would be willing to purchase these if I got more info. JIC needs a front shock so if anyone has a spare you should contact Paul and send it to him.

For you to question my credibility without knowing me is KINda Dissing ME ! and unlike Tony LIttle , I am not selling my product im just letting you know that i have the actuall product on my car and im very happy with it and my car is on the the pic of the product because they liked my car and asked if they could use it for the pic , if the VRT coilovers where giving me problems believe me I would be posting negative feedback all the way to protect other G owners . I payed 1950.00 for the suspension and also a Stillen rear Sway installed. I dont think thats too much especially when their is no other Real Solution for the X Lowering Suspension , you keep holding your breath for JIC to make something for you meanwhile keep driving your car looking like 4X4 going down the road .
