Your wheel offsets are probably the reason why. have the same setup with no issues whatsoever. Drop is perfectly even in my opinion

He could be running a larger tire. Have different offset rims...or like you said camber issue.

Calling all "X's" with a lowered suspension! thread started on 06-12-2006 at 10:40 AM by KrazyEd

till this day (03-03-09) only one company attempted and succeeded to make coil overs for the "x" but are no longer in buisness...

over on clublexus in the IS - Second Generation a thread called Final Rant for AWD Coilovers! was started on 07-06-08 at 07:58 PM by ExclusivIS.

on 03-03-09 at 9:38 AM a thread called CMS Presents BC Racing Coilovers ~ Now for IS250 AWD! was started by Circuitms.

in less then a year circuit motorsports is proud to provide the Lexus club with BC Racing Coilovers!







just in case someone might want to hit up this vendor or manufacture here is the link before this thread hits it's three year mark of trying to get coil overs made for the "x".

just my $0.02

Ok guys, called and talked to them. I am sending my fronts to them. They said it could be 30-45 days but not making any promises. I told them as long as they keep me updated, I will be happy. Keep our fingers cross on getting them done soon. Man I have spend alot of money shipping stuff to companies. All this for me and well you guys too.

Installed my unrevised springs today on my 06 x, good drop, I can see why guys went with coupe rears, and I may replace if I can get my hands on a set easily. The back is a bit lower than expected, but it was also loaded down with 8 things that took up the whole trunk, back seat and even a little of the passenger seat. My 30 mile drive home felt great even loaded down I did not feel much different than stock.

Im also curious on pricing for the fronts. I need to bring my front end down some. Will those work with the OEM 350z track edition shocks? I'm not even sure the "track edition" shocks are any different...
