cool your dealing with Gordon, thats who i delt with. he'll take good care of your stuff. he told me that there was not enough interest in the X also. i told him to check out this forum, you will see all X'ers screaming for shocks.

"Search" and you should find threads about the X, staggered wheels & pulling the fuse

Springs are on, I'll wait a week or so for the springs to settle then I'll post pics. Car rides much better can wait for the shocks.

Rear ride height is pretty easy to fine tune if your just a little lower then you'd like. It's the opposite of the mod where you cut down the upper spring seat.

Energy Suspension does makes a premade coil spring seat that is 3/8" thick.
Otherwise, all you do if make some spacers and slip them above the oem upper spring seats. In the picture below in the middle, is a 1/2" spacer that I made out of a poly kitchen cutting board, to the right of that are a pair of sheet lexan spacers that are 3/16" thick. Hardest part in having the will to fab them, unless the Energy part meets your needs.

thanks for the input but I know about that mod and my rear is perfect. Right now I'm dropped f/r 1.8/1.5. I would like my front to drop some more but gotta wait for the springs to settle. H&R suggest 2-3 weeks for the springs to settle.

after doing a bunch of research, mostly this thread. i finally dropped my x about 3 weeks ago. So far i love it and im very pleased with the results.

1- 04 Z springs unrevised(got with 4k on em)
2- Lowered 1.5" all around
3- The ride quality is a little bit stiffer than stock. still nice.
4- No Probs so far
5- The spings had 4k when i bought them and ive only done 500 so far.
6- So far the shocks/struts are holding up just fine.
7- 18x8 225/45 all around. 38 offset(i think)

also as far as my camber is concerned it doesnt look like it threw it out that bad. i still need to go for an alignment. then well see whats up.

heres some pics from right before and right after. the springs have settled a little bit more also. i need to take some more pics!
