Search the threads, there are many pics and info on here. As I was in the same position as you are. IMO swift springs are great mild drop and may not need camber kits, I know with iebach you'll need them.

depends what youre looking for and where youre located. im in socal and was previously dropped on eibachs. i had no problems getting in and out of places and had no need for a camber kit either. eibach is a conservative drop. depends on how your roads are. would you be looking at a front and rear camber kit or rear only? pm some vendors on here for pricing on a camber kit. the cheapest i was able to find was 500 for both front and rear. you can also try searching the "for sale" marketplace.

I have the X coupe and I lowered my car on Eibachs last Summer. Ride quality is a little stiffer but is very close to stock. IMO the ride quality is better and as far as clearance getting out of places I have had no problem going over speed bumps or getting out of my drive way. Here are some before and after pics

Before:




After:




I'll be switching over to BC racing coil overs this summer when I get my rims. Honestly if you are going to lower your car get coil overs. Even though they are more expensive, most people who buy springs end up getting coil overs anyway. Good luck with your decision.

Nice, where are you located? No, going to switch over to BC racing coil overs and then get rims in July.

I'm in Shorewood area. Still have 20" black rims from my m45x...wonder if they will fit. Have to check. Its still on my trade in, but dealer will give them back since I have stock rims.
Anyways...thinking about coilovers(heard some other NEW coilovers should be coming out. better than BC) and some nice rims if those dont fit. Body kit as well. Cant do too much since its lease and will have to make it stock in 38months

Sorry to hijack thread OP

How are you scrapping with eibachs? You must be driving over huge rocks or something. The drop is not even that low, when compare to s-techs n H&R's those two slam the car a lot.

I haven't heard anything about production for new coil overs for the X. What company? My car is on a lease too. Right now I ordered Fast Intention CBE and RHFC and waiting for my second bumper to get here so I can mold my TSP-Lip. Big plans for the summer

Lol seriously. The only time I scrapped with Eibachs was when I first installed them at my buddy's garage and that was because his front driveway is on a hill with a huge curb lol. Other then that I've been able to clear pretty much everything lol.
