Thanks guys ! ... so far so good .. I think us X'ers will be fine with either the Revised or Unrevised OEM Z Springs as a good alternative til someone makes aftermarket ones for the x.

ALSO, I sent my OEM springs to Gsedan35 today to test the spring rates and based on what he finds .. we may have some more options.

I am getting an aligment Thursday and I will continue to eagerly "test" the suspension and give everyone an update.

got my alignment done

Car is riding good ... everyone who has been in my car notes no difference in ride quality at all ... again, so far so good.

However .. got my alignment done this morning (view results here: https://g35driver.com/forums/brakes-suspension/95848-05-x-alignment-results-after-drop-oem-z-springs.html) ... Camber way negative, but everything else is in spec ... prob will have some degree of premature tire wear .... Any comments ?

I finally found a manufacturer that makes springs for the AWD. Has anyone used them? Or know of other brands? I dont want to cause any drivetrain problems on my 05 X, but would love to get to at least the height of the RWD sedan.
