"Lowered" the 4.8is

Nice job. Is there a kid by driver side rear window?

I think they sit better at normal ride height, i think the standard set up gives it a much better stance and better look overall!

i think 4x4's which are lowered just look like they have a saggy suspension.... nice car though

Looks SWEET! Good Job! Curios to know what height your at.
Can you measure bottom of rim up to the fender? and give us the #?
Cheers

I really like the look - not sure about changing the ride though, I like the stock ride feel. Any worries about if it would impact the warranty although you are probably out of factory time now. I went with an extended warrenty and wouldn't want there to be an issue with payment from them due to a mod. Looks great.

Nom3cry..A dinan front strut bar will help with the body leaning if you don't already have one... BTW the car looks fantastic..I say keep the new look..

It is about the same as the lowest setting from the factory.

This is what I did with mine. Had the normal ride height set to the default entry mode height.

if the car is kept this low a set of eibach antiroll bars would work well with this. even a set of KW shocks for the rear will give some of that rebound back. It looks great but the functionality does go down the drain with the oem parts

Yeah, you're probably right. However, the X being basically being used to get groceries in my familly - not gonna bother. It still handles good enough for us.

Now, if I'm gonna be doing some of that canyon racing in the other post then okay! Probably have to remove everything like back seat, sliding tray, kid seats, groceries, strollers ....

Eh, maybe upgrade those anyways later. Just not a high priority right now.

I thinks she looks amazing! Dropped my beast as well with KW Coilovers..... Nothing like the look of a lowered stance E53.....one mean bitch!!
