i think we are in the same boat. The only way I want to drop is coilover, but there are none for the X and who knows if some will be manufactured. I cannot afford an aggressive drop in my area. The roads are terrible and with the journey lip, Im already close to scraping as is. The IMPUL springs would be my only other option as it would be a very mild drop and with 45 series tires, I think the wheel well would be filled in nicely. stick it out and let me know ASAP how the drop and ride quality are.

 

ya, it'll take a few weeks to get these in, but i plan on putting them on right away, the car will also be aligned and corner weighted. I'm gonna slap on the 18x8 M35x wheels with 245/45/18 rubber.

my main concern over this mod is that i put on about 25k miles a year commuting on the highway, and so if they jeopardize the safety of the ride they'll come out in a heart beat.
