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.

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.

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.

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
