My bad, wasn't paying close enough attention to notice it was an X. I doubt that they have an X application but I don't know that for sure.

I think they can be modified, but IIRC they don't have a plug&play.

I have an xS coupe that is about to get Swift Springs added and I worry about lifespan of my stock shocks and the fact that there is no aftermarket for the X. Everyone raves about Koni so I sent them an email this evening to see if they ever have any intention on adding us to their product line. I'm not too hopeful seeing how as they have gone this long without doing so, but who knows, nothing to lose by asking.

You can run the rear Koni's as is, but the fronts will needed "inserted" like they do on a lot of other platforms. At that point though, to me, it's worth it to just get some nicer coilovers.

I would be in for a set of Koni shocks for my X.

The aftermarket is severely lacking!

I'd love to get a set of Swift springs but with previous experience on other cars (lowering springs + stock shocks), the stock shocks will be soon to go.

Even if they don't fail right away, performance sucks when they are outside of their operating range.

Doing it right the first time is always best in my opinion. Especially when you have to deal with spring compressors.

Adjustable coilovers are always an option, been there done that too. I prefer a good lowering spring with a proper shock. I also appreciate the cost savings

Someone needs to get a group buy going for Koni's for the AWD cars.

I'm not sure that the expense of going back to stock will offset the expense of a new shock.

Then what if you want to go back to the swifts?
May just want to get new coilovers
