Calling all "X's" with a lowered suspension!

I try to avoid the cannon-like potholes with this drop around New England, more out of rim bending fear than anything else.
Not to sound like a clown, but I feel pretty darn proud walking up to this car now. Worked very hard to get it here. Though it still desperately needs a bath.

I wish we could just delete that whole 6 page hairpulling coilover session from this X drop post. I find the rest of the 38+ pages VERY helpful for X owners.

They also want some used or blown front struts, since I might need to replace mine. I might get some and give them mine. They asked me why dont i get some kyb or something. I told them nobody makes any and hey you should be the first. The guy laugh and said maybe. But first the coilovers.

hey fellas...finally got around to install the H&R's that Jman suggested...I had the springs installed from a fellow forum member LVE2DRV...He did an awesome job and works very quick...As for the drop, im very happy with the outcome minus the scraping coming up my driveway I was planning on getting some new work wheels but realized i dont want to be in debt paying credit cards off So i put my axis wheels back on.. The ride quality that the H&R's offer are amazing and i'm happy i went with them Here are some pics(sorry for the bad cell phone quality)
