Hey guys, I've recently passed on a deal to trade in my M35x. I have decided to keep this car for a while so i'd like to do a few things to it. I like the VIP style and i'd like to go in that direction. So far the only thing i've done to it is add the oem spoiler, a few LED's, ztube, 3k fogs, and a sub in the trunk. . .what should I do next??

The X is AWD, doesn't that make it a little different?

That's what I thought. In this case, maybe find someone who wants to trade :)

RWD M35/45 springs and coilovers work just fine on the X.

Hey guys, it's been a while. . . .haven't done much to the car. I was debating on whether I should go get the new M3 sedan but i've decided not to lol. However, since I have recently graduated, purchasing that car would be a strain on my finances and i'd rather get a condo first instead of using that money for a new car LOL (makes sense to me). So i'll be keeping this car for at least a year or two longer. So far I just added the 3k fogs, Z-tube, rear spoiler, Megan axle back, and the FX 20's. Without a doubt I want to get the suspension next. ISVED are you 100% sure that the springs and coils from a RWD will fit my AWD, I always thought the design of the front strut was different when it came to AWD??. . .either way i'm looking for an application for my car. The K sport coilovers for the AWD seemed to be discontinued and the same goes for the Megan coilovers for the AWD. The only ones I see that are still available are the D2's (which i've never heard of). . .I also see that Air Runner has a kit but the price seems a tad bit high at $4,300 keeping in mind that they note on the website that the rear will need modifications. It seems like it's going to be quite a large bill when you include the install. Can anyone provide any information on this? I'd prefer something under 2.5K. . .if that is possible, any suggestions guys?. . . I've included a few updated pics of the car and a sound clip of the exhaust. . .

That looks really nice with those wheels. I've never heard anything bad about the D2's, but I've never owned them either. I would go with them.

thanks. . .I've been searching for reviews online. . .it seems like the Megan AWD coils were the best. . .so i'll give them a call tomorrow and see if they still make them because I can't find them anywhere. . .
