No... and no one probably will because it defeats the purpose of the "X", which is mainly for winter and snow driving. If you lowered it it would be like a snowplow...

I've driven plenty of lowered vehicles in snow and see more then a few lowered A4's driven year round. Hell one of my friends drives a 911CS(997) year round with no trouble and that's much lower then the lowest G and its not even AWD.

Kind of an ignorant statement to say it defeats the purpose, the purpose is traction, traction and ride height have little to do with each other. Besides, an inch lower ride height is not going to make it a snow plow, there are plenty of vehicles lower then that from the factory that people drive year round.

I have heard the X is different and there aren't any kits out yet. Don't know if this is true or not. I've already ordered 20's with tires so hopefully something soon. Defeating the purpose? No. But I am thinking of adjustable suspension like an air system or something so I can have My stock rims and and winters for winter and stock ride height, then 20's in summer and subtract an inch or so. Best of both worlds.

Sweet, get on it. I want to see. Was the kit different? Are there others? How much did it lower front and rear? How's the ride? etc...
