Eibach. Feels almost like stock ride, but lowered.

Here's a pic of my car on Swifts. I love them. The ride quality is great and the ride height is right where I want it. Cleaned up the wheel gap but still totally practical.

Here is another before the tint but with better lighting. Might be easier to see.

Eibachs. You WILL need rear camber adjusters. Fronts are almost necessary.

I can see how you could think that looking at Al's pic. I don't think my car looks uneven though. Reviews of Swift springs are all around this forum and they are one of the most popular suspension choices. Them and Eibach are probably 1 and 2 though I don't know which would be first. Both are great choices. I don't think Eibach has a kit for the AWD models though so that made my decision easy.

EDIT: Eibach makes springs for the coupe my mistake. No coilovers for the X is what I was remembering.

^Yeah, they do:

From what I can gather, the Swifts are a good alternative and give a slightly milder drop than the Eibachs. They have been known to sag a bit in the rear. Good news is no camber kit needed.

I'm still on the fence between the two. I just want a mild drop and see no need to pay for springs PLUS camber kits to get it. Hell, you're into coilover $$$ at that point.

I almost wish I had not gotten the xS.
