I knew the lever was there...I'm talking about the electronic button marked "slide" right under it that when the seat is leaned forward and the button is pressed, the car seat motor slides the seat all the way forward so the person in back can get out.

I was planning on taking a half day at work tomorrow so I could jack the thing up and starting pulling things aparts again, by my self (which would have really sucked). And so it only ending up taking me 15 mins to fix. Rattle is gone and I def feel much better now.

Pics of the stance? what kind of springs did you get? I'm debating on BC coilovers for my X or else some Eibach springs but not sure yet on what to do because I think coilovers would be better in the longer run compared to just using oem shocks and aftermarket springs.

I went with Eibach. Mild drop, and I plan on holding off a bit on a camber kit if I ever decide to get one. I'll wait tup see what the tire wear is like. I put a lot of miles on in a year so hopefully it's not horrendous. No pics yet, but after this weekend I'm sure there will be a few.

T-HAYES....Either way, your springs will settle prob another quarter inch or so within 1-2 months. Then just DO NOT forget to get an allignment! Nick forgot to get one last summer and ate his tires up within 1 summer just from the Toe being off.

I feel sleep deprived but the house is finally starting to look like a home now that most everything is put away and organized. I ll catch up with what's been up at the meet.

I'm glad you got the Eibach AND are happy. I'm loving the drop on mine, although I think it looks much better in person!! Only a couple days until Friday....I can't wait to GTF up there and get detailing.

Lance I think I talked my room mate into coming up that morning with us assuming he actually wakes up. That way he can do lunch and have the afternoon to spend with his fam, I told him he wouldnt want to miss out on the 50 cars we have for the meet. Not often at all we are able to round up this many ppl for it I'm gonna clean my air filter tonight to make sure I'm running properly for the cruise

After doing springs in my previous 2 cars, and the "play" and functions, I wouldn't even go any other way(especially when mixing up front heights, wheels sizes, and trying to clear my damn driveway! LOL)
