for the most part i've read almost all the postings here. and well i just have a couple of questions. i'm getting a x at one point in time. 04/05 models.
I haven't read too many cases of front shocks being blown. aside from Kazaam35x,
so the likely hood of going with a mild drop say h-tech or prokit is in favor of not blowing.... I'm wondering because i never had a car that wasn't droped with springs and strut/shocks and it looks like this will be the first. The rears are all the same, but i think going with aftermarket rears will put more stress on the fronts.
are there any pictures comparing X fronts to normal sedan fronts? wondering what designs are different.

I'm trying to decide between the H&R sedan kit or the Teins H-Techs (these: http://www.racinglab.com/tein-h-tech...initi-002.html). That site says 1.4 F/0.7 R, that translates to ~2 F /1.25 R on the X? Those and the SPC rear camber/bolt kit. I hope that would be alright.
I'm looking to go with 18"s, nothing too crazy for tires, nice normal all-seasons. I don't really want to replace shocks, so think Teins will be better for shock life than H&Rs? PA was ranked as having the second worst roads in the US, and I can't dispute that, even our highways are ****, let alone the backroads I sometimes go on. I gotta have wheels and suspension than can take a sometimes generous beating...
