is there anyone know can we put the Stillen sway bars front and rear on the "X"?
If you guys have any idea with it?
also.. i just lower my X with eibach springs, but the rear sits way lower than the front, if all the X owners with eibach springs have the same issue??
Also, should i get the H&R or ICHIBA wheel spacer? 25 mm or 15 mm ?? and is it i need to change the wheellugs as well??
Its the first time for me to go the the wheel spacer.
THANKS all buddies

i'm also dropped on eibachs on an 08X.
From what i've read, only front top strut tower bar is an option.
as for spacers, i've only heard good on H&R's, although a bit pricey.
As for ride height, i dont have the same issue, car is level, although the rear fender comes down a bit lower making it appear as if it sits a bit lower.
There is an extremely easy fix for that...I did it on my 02 camry and it still works and looks great. It's called a donut rubber spring booster. looks like this and can be bought at any car parts store:
Put one of each on the rears and you'll get that "perfect" looking ride height and it works. There is no safety or any other problems, however your alignment will be ever so slightly off in the rear, but assuming you didn't buy a rear camber kit, you're actually helping your alignment situation. Install is simple, jack up the car (no need to remove wheel), slide that donut over the spring and keep turning it until it positions itself to the bottom of the spring (as low as you can physically get it), do both sides. drop the car, and see if you like the height. It is adjustable, If you find it went too high, simply back it off sitting at a higher coil (the lower you mount the donut on the spring, the more it will lift the car).
hope this helps.

I have an X lowered on Impul springs with Stillen sways installed. The only problem with Stillen sways on an X is that the front sway bar will not fit. The rear fits fine. I've had the Impul/Stillen setup for several months ago and it feels great. The only problem I've had with the mismatched sways is a slight front wheel wash when entering a turn too hot. Other than that, it rides on rails.
There are a couple posts 6+ months ago about this.
