how is the ride on 20s eoki? Looks like you can tuck tire on 20s with the X. Interested to see if you bang your A-arms.

Picked up a set of Hotchkis f/r sways from Concept Z on Friday and had them installed that night. These with the coilovers feel like heaven vs. stock.

20s are def better tuck and fit for the X, cause where I use to throw sparks, I drive like nothing...

At the moment A arms are still the same, they bang pretty hard But Dont give a fak. Let them bang. I learned to avoid big lumps on the hwy. Some you cant avoid. Since im higher, I can finaly rock my OEM lip.

On dips Im hitting front inner barrel on Control arms, going to space out the fronts but only 10mm spacer with bolts built in are project kics or running longer studs. Cause even with 5mm fronts dont reach the lugs. Never ends.

I'll get some pix when cars clean.

I also got some goodies from Vivek. Thanks again man. All the pieces came out great. It's no where near as nice as some of the bays on here but it's a start. I plan to progressively add more. I wish the pics came out better though.

Their "Perfect Match Universal Gloss Black" is the same paint code, according to the book they had at Napa. I was going to go there to get the paint mixed, but they said this is the same.

Haven't installed everything yet, but the G is getting a second life at 102k miles. Goodies include: Front sway bar (rear already installed), front L&R revised endlinks, compression rod bushings, tie rod end boots, Tokico blues, 07 coupe springs, and new spark plugs. I'll likely do a before/after post of the car itself. Peace.
