Too bad you can't drop the X, not that theres any reason to up here in Canada.. .. You would just get stuck in the snow! Thats why ours has the original ugly 17's on it.. however when I get the car when I'm 17, I'm gettin some 19's or 20's for the summer.... and I've already started saving for them lol

Looks good, definitely better then stock, however It does look a tad bit too low, I would raise it up a tiny bit, the front looks much better then the back because the wheel is inside the wheel well on the back after lowering and that disrupts the cleanliness of the car. raising the back is the way to go, front looks spot on.
Is that going to be the only size they make? I've thought about this but if that's lowering it 31/33mm, I would like it at 20/20mm around the whole car.

I think the rear looks a little low, I would bump it up to match the front too. I think its a little too much drop if its beginning to tuck the stock 18s into the fender well a touch... That of course is just my opinion.
Is that more or less drop than I should expect from the H&R Kit? If its going to be that much/more, I may have to check it out with the wheels before lowering it.

Terrycs says the springs he got lowers 31mm (1.22") front and 33mm (1.3") rear.
So the H&R springs should be a touch lower in the front and not quite as low in the rear.
I'll have the H&R springs on mine Thursday. I'm predicting I'll rub like a bitch on the back without some major neg. camber with my +40 rear offsets but my 40+ rears will be hear on the 15th so I can live with it like that for a few weeks.

OK, I thoght I would post up some cropped and zoomed pics of the back for those interested.
Like a couple of you, I'm kinda wondering if raising the back up a little so the fender gap matches the front would be good because then I may not need to go with a camber kit. But then again, If I got the camber kit, would the gap then match the front? And also, how much of an effect does the full tank of gas contribute? Feel free to comment!
