TowX is on a distinguished road
Lowered pics....

OK, so it's dirty but with the weather and work commitments it's the best I can do. Now you get a chance to see the changes:
H&R lowering kit- springs front, airbag links rear
4.8IS rear arches and running boards
10mm H&R spacers in the rear
windows tinted- 35% front doors, 20% all other windows

My impressions of the H&R setup? Fantastic. Per H&R, the front srpings are 15% stiffer, but the X rides so much smoother. I'm actually amazed at how much nicer the car rides on all road surfaces. And turn in response is a lot better too. Just limited time to try any aggressive handling so far (had my duaghter's birthday present Vette in back) but definitely flatter and feels more composed too. So the best of all worlds- better handling, better ride, and better looks.
