Wow. I am new to the X, so there must be some really good adjustment on these SUVs. I am glad to hear it, because I don't want to deal with camber kits.

Nice job!

Mmmm... ... if you dropped it almost two inches, wouldn't it need to be set at something other than the factory setting with the factory springs?

I'm totally ignorant to these things but it just seems that wouldnt make much sense...

Has the car settled any lower? Can you possible take a measurement fron the ground to the center of the front wheel arch? I would really appreciate it. Thx.

Curious if you had air suspension before and switched to the rear spring and shock setup?

I saw that turner sells the Bilsten HD rear shocks for $83 a piece. super cheap.

I priced it out to be around $980 to do shocks all around, springs, and necessary hardware to swap my stock fronts and stock rear air ride suspension.
