Fair enough friend! sounds good. hehe

Hey, since you drive in the snow with your drop... do you often kick the snow off your wheel wells everytime you leave your car? to prevent it from icing up or you just leave it frozen on your wheel well?

Im assuming its gonna be harder to kick off since the wheel well space is pretty tight now. yes?

I wonder why it says "exc. awd" if in fact, its okay to use for awd? hmmmmmm...
Because since our cars are a bit heavier, the spring rates are ever so slightly off, thus eibach doesn't wan't liability and they exclude the X from the part#.

Eibach doesn't make springs specifically for the X, so you have to use the ones for the regular G. That's the exact part # I have installed that you posted.

To be honest, I don't any manufacturer makes springs for the X specifically.

to be honest, everytime it snows, i drive my car into my heated parking garage, blast the snow/ salt off with water, allow the car to dry, and then drive the car back out (wife's car takes priority since we only have 1 parking spot).
i abhor snow and salt with a passion and cannot stand when that crap is on my car....i wonder why i still live in northern illinois

Do we know if the SPC front camber kit will work with AWD? Will you get a front camber kit? im thinking I will if I go with a drop.

Maybe if Eug doesnt mind, I wouldnt mind seeing his car this weekend! lol Just to check out the drop. What do you think Eug? hehe

Yeahh I'd be down for a nice ontario meet up lol, Jelous of the socal guys meets. Im having the camber installed along with the rims put on in a week so if you can wait till then

yes, we definately gotta round up the Ontario peeps and have a meet.

I actually wanted to see your setup "as is". While its the same as mine to determine if I can live with that lowered height. hehe

U have any free time this weekend perhaps? just to take a quick peek at your drop? :P I have time friday(tomorrow) or maybe sunday afternoon? I can come find you!

Let me know! PM me? thanks!

Wes

Hmm just saw this thread, read it all, and interesting stuff, anyone gonna look at the S springs just up front? I hate being a snow plow and because of the snow we have loads of destroyed concrete and that is what destroys the car. We X owners Air bags i guess hahahaha. in the winter we can pump it up so we're 4X4 and when we park we can lower it all the way and look baller.
