So you lowered your X with S-Techs for the RWD Sedan. I thought it was not advisable to do this on AWD. How does it ride now ?
I think I will wait til someone makes a spring specifically for the X before lowering my X.

Car rides almost the same in my opinion, just a litte harsher w/ bumps on back roads.........i may have to get a camber kit, but im not sure, im waiting for my Asanti's to come in in a few weeks, one they come in i have to check the fittment anyways because i went w/ a staggered setup........19x8 in the front and 19x9.5 in the back and im gonna be runnin 235s in the front and 275s in the rear.........

I would be using the search key re:stagger on an X. I heard that's bad news.

Stagger on an X not a good idea. The AWD system is electronically controlled. wider tire in the rear = more contact patch = more traction in the rear = AWD system not functioning properly

You absolutely need a camber kit without a doubt. Especially if you used RWD springs to lower your X. Your alignment must be really bad right now.

As for the staggered fitment, you will have problems with the AWD. I would get same size all around.

yup, i kno, but like i said i have to wait for my rims to get here to see how the fitment is, i may only need to get ones for the front because i dont know how much a 275 in the rear will stick out........

I had s-techs on my 2k2 max. It was absolutely the worst ride ever. Paired with kybgr2's it was a good ride on perfectly smooth roads. Add in some imperfections and a curve and bouncy bouncy here we come. Glad your experience is different.

Well I must admit it had an aggressive look and complimented the 19's that were on there. Couldnt beat the look.
