You should be able to make 9” work up front with some camber... I have 8.5” and am pretty neutral (38ET) but not fully flush. I stayed in a bit because the front fenders aren’t rolled out like the rears. When you go lower, the rears will be in need of a spacer to sit flush but that’s a personal preference thing. I am 9.5” 38ET.

Today...
Temps in the 80°s, completely clear skies, so at 8:00 AM I pulled the car out in to the sun and massaged Leatherique Rejuvenator into all the leather. Then I worked it in with a horsehair brush, and covered the two front seats with large black bags.
Been there all day, baking away. Tomorrow morning, I'll use the Leatherique Cleaner, and buff it all down with the brush and microfiber towels. Should come out awesome.
(Except for the batch of leprosy in my center drivers seat. Still need to get that looked at professionally.)

Well, not now... she's in the middle of her sauna. 
It's like there's a clearcoat on the leather and it's worn off... know what I mean? So it's discolored and noticeable and I hate it. Been going on now for maybe the last 3 years.
The Leather Shop I hooked up with that fitted my armrest cover said they have a process that could repair things. The plan is to take it there this summer and see what they can do.
Other than that one area, the leather on the car is all creamy goodness. Stone Leather, FTW.

How many Leatherique treatments is this for you, and do you do anything in between? Do you do the wheel too?
I do Lexol cleaner/conditioner every 4-6 weeks, and Zanio brothers at least once a year.

I have to give it to the G, my seats are holding up great. The side bolsters don't have excessive wear, and my black interior hides any leprosy.

I do an overnight Leatherique application once a year, and this is my fourth year. Throughout the year I'll use Lexol cleaner maybe two or three times, depending on need.
Just did up the wife's Subaru at the beginning of the week. Her Forester has brown leather, and it cleaned up very nicely.

Past couple weeks I've tinted the windows (35%) and put on 19" Niche 131 Targas (245/40/19). Also pictured is my 1996 GSXR 750 strategically placed to block the huge front wheel gap that will get taken care of soon with swift springs.

Just kidding. The car looks good. Looking forward to seeing it lowered. What suspension are you installing?

I just replaced my struts/shocks on all four corners on my X with KYB Excel G's. Needless to say, the job took longer than expected as this was my first time doing it on any of my vehicles but with a little patience and perseverance, I got it done.
