Looks great man....I'm going to wait about a month to install mine, this Chicago weather is super unpredicable lol. Are your fenders rolled?

 

Is there any way you can get a few more pics for me? I have a few requests

If you don't mind Id like to see an angled front and rear shot and maybe a pic from the front to show ground clearance underneath the car.

Whats the specs on the wheels? How low did you go? Did you use any type of camber kits or any other suspension mods?

Reason for all the questions is i'm trying to figure out how low I want to go when I get my coil overs. So far I love the height of your car and I have an X as well.

 

How is the ride compared to stock? Is it stiffer? On their softest setting, can you tell the difference from stock? Im considering coilovers, but I want to make sure I dont degrade ride quality in any way. What are the pros vs cons of this set up compared to stock? When I say stock, Im referring to the awd sedan. Does your suspension and new handling justify spending $1000? I cant find any thorough reviews of coilovers on the awd sedan. Thanks for the diy write up & pics. Lookin good.

 

Thanks!

At first it was stiff, but after breaking them in it was just fine, stock is crappy IMO. I like the coils so far and haven't soften it much, just making one click to the soft (from what they came on) I honestly had springs on my car before, and didnt like the drop. With these coils you can adjust them to your liking, that why I like these. and plus they are the cheapest for Us "X" guys. Let me know if you need a set

 

good write up and looks good.....

 

 

Looks great, although it kinda looks like you need tires. lol

Are they worn like that because of you lowering it? Have you had an alignment?

 

OP are those 275/30 profile tires in the rear, how is the ride on the 30 profile tires? I Im waiting on KW to come out with a set of coils for the awd sedans >.<..Ive recently asked Koni if it was possible to get a set of koni yellow shocks custom built for the AWD sedan to pair with swift springs.

 

Na it was worn like that when I got them...im have a set too install as soon as I wear these off some more...No alignment...I might whenever I change the rears out though.


275/35/20 on the rear

And BC sells the coils with the spring upgrade...pm'd

 

Coils and wheels installed last week on my X Coupe!

 

@Ryno23 looks nice and clean bro

 

^^Thanks man! And thanks again for setting up the group buy!

 

No problem

I updated the install instruction with the adjusting the preload and a video for the front preload

 

^^definately going to be useful! Thanks!

 

I obviously need to do more research on installing coil overs myself and this may be a dumb question but what exactly is the purpose of adjusting the preload? Is it required to do so before installing? or while installing?
