Calling all "X's" with a lowered suspension!
I'll be happy if it doesn't drop any more, but I'm sure it'll settle a fraction of an inch or so...
another thing I read was that sportlines were lower in the rear than the front.. I'm not seeing that on my car either. Maybe it's because the dspecs on the rear (only) are set to super-stiff

Ok I got the pics from Vulcan, sorry man to be such an A$$ about it. These were taken from his cell phone. By the way he was saying and it makes sense, that the arms is all we need. See on other coilovers, the bottom part where the stem is, comes off and then the strut goes into this arm and is held by it. Here are some pics of the setup and his car which he asked me to post.
Apintojr would still like to see pic of what you have, since they should be alittle bit clearer.
Onto the Pics.

So how did it feel and drive on the car? Can you tell the difference?
When i had my set on before they felt good...car cornered alot better. Only thing is...same as u notice....that little arm is holding up the whole car. Tho my arm was alot bulkier looking and heavy. Also, the coilovers pics u took is the fronts i believe. Do you have pics of the rear? Are they adjustable too?
no, they never shipped me the rears, after about 2months of false promises and had them just refund me the money for the rears and i kept the front just incase i could put them in use.
yes i did notice the ride diffrence. the car did handle a little better, but the front was just to soft for me. i tried to harden the shocks but nomatter what setting i had them on they just felt the same.

Only reason I asked is cos that was one of my problems with my old set. I had rears but they werent adjustable...set spring.
apintojr, thats too bad
If i wanted to get staggered rims for my X, i know i have to take out the awd fuse so it doesnt light up on the cluster, but will the awd still work or will it just be rwd? more than likely u would have to roll my fenders right?
