anyone here slammed their X? Im having problems with my lower control arms, theyre literally sweeping the floor at this height with me in the car and coils on full stiff. And bang on the tinniest dips roads. Including on the highway. Now frame or exhaust I dont mind banging but lower arms are kinda dangerous.
I dont mind keepin the front at this height at least for daily driving, cause I have OEM lip that im going to put on.
So any one with X.
My shorter rear springs alrdy on the way.

 

thanks for the info

wish i had some shops around here that would work with me but everywhere i go or call they quote me for $200+ and tell me that no other shops will even touch my car... its absolute crap...

 

really? Why not? Is there a good performance shop around w/ an alignment rack avail?

 

I seem to be a touch lower than you and I dont have any lower control arm issues. I do bang my a-arms on large bumps, but not major issues. I am at 15 clicks from full stiff on BC coils.

 

i dunno either they have no idea what they are doing or they dont want to bother with it cause here in CO the whole lowered car thing isnt too big but there are a couple shops around that do dynos and w/e because people here are in to the whole muscle car thing....

 

installed 225s upfront today..need to remove my extended studs to be able to install my 20mm v2 spacers...will post picz when its all done

 

^Awesome, can't wait to see Chris.

 

Weird, I gotta getta picture of under the fronts to see it better.
My fronts are set at 6clicks from stiffest (26)
I did touch my A-arms a few times but thats prbbly from running 9.5Front.
Bc is also sending me longer extensions. I think rears are at 15 now. When i get the adjuster, i'll go high 20s or max them out too.

I really want to go another half inch down in the front, But I literally cant drive it out of my own street. It drags on uneven ground. Ill be getting the front bumper resprayed, with my Oem lip.

Any Ideas on how OEM lip would look molded?

 

wait your control arms hit the ground? do the control arms on the x hang lower than the rear wheel drive models?

 

tried looking under the car without jacking it up, and its not the control arms. Its the frame. Since its painted black, and control arms are silver, U never rly see it being there, Its slightly lower then the arms, and I think it alrdy looks bent up lol
i think frames lining is lower on the X cause of the front drivetrain it hides above it.

Car is parked on uneven street, and on top of suer cap, so Clearance looks higher.

 

Hit its on uneven streets huh. There is a groove where the everyone drives and hump in the middle huh. Drive on the hump problem solve. LOL

 

thats a given. lol but even then some areas where a lot of buses pass, Its so uneven like good 5-6 inches. Sat on few of those too. But that type of stuff dont bother me.
I really thought it was the arms smacking the floor doing 50-60. Id hate to rip the arm off, and snap shyt.

AS long as its not the arm. Fck it, let it spark up lol

 

Light show in a different way.

 

Pics with the 225s and 20mm spacers..im at +2 upfront

 

Sickness Chris!
