AWD: Getting ready to drop the car - which setup to use?

[Ilya]

So, I've decided to drop the car.

I've read that even though my car is AWD | X...I can use RWD springs without issue so.

I am trying to maintain as much of a stock feel in the ride as possible...so please keep that in mind. I'm not looking for an aggressive drop but will go low if it means buying a set of springs that are still comfortable compared to others.

That being said, please vote on what you would get if you were in my shoes.

My car is on 19" BE by Breyton GTS-AV wheels.

I have the H-Techs on my car and love them...not too low and the ride quality is still there..

To clean up the gap and the front rake, with little effect to the ride and alignment .......H-Tech.

Any pics you can share - anybody else with pics, please share and identify what suspension you're running.

Keep in mind OP has an X so the drop will be different depending on the springs. Have you considered Tanabe springs?

[Ilya]

Nope...I'm up for any spring as long as it's within the same price as the others (ball park) and doesn't kill my cars ride lol.

I'll pay a little more for something that everyone says is AMAZING...

i bought H-techs for my X.. but yet not installed, waiting for the rain to finish!! then i will go ahead!

i bought them because i saw another X in this forum with H-techs, and it was exactly like the way i want!

I have decided to either go with Tein H-Techs or BC Racing Coilovers. I just need to design if I'm going springs or coilovers.

ionlex...Your pics don't work the way you have them setup.

Here is the proper setup:

torn between H-tech v. S- tech ?! 08 m35x

I guess the deciding factor would be do I need to get a camber kit with the S 's versus the H's?

[CPJ LB]

H-Techs will be comfortable/sporty and decrease the wheel gaps...

post those pix once you drop it!!

definitely will !!!

anyone on here selling lightly used (low miles) H-techs on here ?? PM me please !

I think depending on how low you want to go will depend on what springs you should go with. I haven't heard anyone say anything bad about any spring options for the M. If you decide to get coilovers then you can make your own height and adjust your dampering to what you like, firm or soft.

I'm likely going to be getting BC coilovers from Chris in the spring.
