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.
Guys If im runnin my G35x on 19x8.5 and 19x10rear 245/40/19 front and 275/35/19 rear tires, WOULD it bother my AWD, im only running the setup for summer, winter i go stocks. I read something about removing the AWD FUSE why?

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.
Guys i have a 06X 280hp i was thinking what kind of boltons would i need 2 achieve at least over 320-330range without any boost lol, Just bolt-ons, and my 0-60 should be around 6.0-6.2 from what i know what kind of 0-60 times i'd behaving with around 320at the crank. cause I love takin off on people from a red light stop=]. car gets a lot of looks which = a lot of people wanna see if there pos is quicker. llol ive come across a carrera S at the light i didnt even try =] lolol
Where im from Last week i had a record of 7 gallardos/ bunch of corvettes and porsches, and **** load of amgs lol. So of the jump speed is what i usually use other then that i just cruise and catch my attention=]

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!
