Becoming frustrated at the lack of suspension parts for the AWD cars

I purschased the car back in November. Over the past 5 months of ownership, I am getting fed up with the lack of suspension parts for the AWD models. Why is no one making them? I don't want just simple springs, I want coilovers and I will never purchase BC Racing. Anyone else wondering why there is such a lack of parts for the AWD models? I'm starting to already look into getting a different car just because of this.

Lack of owners, lack of X models in So Cal where "most" U.S. R&D takes place. So it's hard for manufactures to test what they don't have. but if you're waiting on a flood of parts you should sell the car because I don't see it happening. There isn't even a ton of parts for the normal coupe. Aftermarket part sales are very low when compared to other tuner cars, I guess this really isn't a tuner car though

What's wrong with bc? I've have no issues with mine. If you really have cash to burn get some custom ones.

Because the vast majority of X owners don't mod their suspension. It's kind of counterproductive to buy an AWD car and then drop it, so companies don't waste their money developing parts that you and 3 other guys in the country might buy.

Seems you bought the wrong configuration if suspension mods are important to you.
