i just started the same overhaul. aT just over 82,000 miles my x has become soft and sloppy around curves on the parkway. I just did the thrust rod bushings and ball joints on that link. there is a second link that requires a new bushing as well. these rubber mounts soften up and crack overtime. I bought 2004 rear shocks in hopes the length will be shorter than the 2001 as for the 2inch drop. new rear airbags and new front KW coilovers. I hope to get a very cart like feel with the 2inch drop and new bushings. I will keep you informed with pics. goodluck with yours.
