No on the coil-overs.

I would really check out the Swift X springs. They are great on the CT9A, some of the other X guys are running them too. Check out the X susp/brake/tire forum.

EDIT: just revisiting the X spring options. Looks like Tein revised their setup. Still a bit low. If you notice, the trends on that platform is to keep it around an inch lowered. The geometry does not like getting slammed.

I had the same debate when I bought my X. It's the first year in production of a new model car, so it's not a great idea to mod the hell out of it if it's your DD and you're looking for reliability.

That being said, sticking to bolt-ons won't really hurt. If something ever went wrong, just remove your intake or exhaust and your warranty should be ok.

 

swift makes great springs,

i do not use Tein for ANYTHING, unless a customer buys them himself..

I have the eibachs on my X and they are nice... Car still needs more than just springs for trackuse... it's weight overworks the stock dampers... and using a stiff bar to compensate is just going to make it nervous on entry.

While we are on springs, Swift puts in a ton of research time before they produce their product. Each platform is specifically addressed, researched, engineered, tested, given to race drivers for feedback, and re-engineered if needed - all before it hits the market.

 

I installed my Works springs and Advan RZ wheels at 80 miles.

 

You have to enjoy the car. The ride as you know isn't going to be smooth.

 

I'm not to worried about the ride, i've had some pretty nasty cars i used as daily drivers, i just want something that is going to perform well, would getting a set of mr struts help, or is there another option for after market struts.
