I like your lip and fog delete setup. It flows nice. The CF also looks great with the orange.

 

Thanks for comments everyone! I'll get some more pics soon, got another round of parts coming in this week.

 

Damn bro, your car looks so sick and clean. Please keep it like that: no CF, no stickers/logos, etc. Looks perfect!

 

visieon, very clean! come out to the annual florida meet next month!

 

Is that Bride material over the stock seats?

 

There's no way, the seat belt harness area is way different than stock

 

those arent stock seats.... looks legit brides to me

BTW, one very sick lookin ride!!!!

 

Car looks great but is it even streetable at that ride height or was that only for pictures? Looks like less than 1 finger gap in the rear and tucking tire in the front. Also why would you run a spacer in the rear on a 18x10.5" +15? It already sits past flush with that offset. What's your clearance in the front about 2"?

I'd lower mine more but not that low, couldn't clear a speed bump to get into the parking garage at the office lol.

 

i run the same wheels size and offset.. the rears definitely do not need any type of spacers... lol its flush as is... but more power to you for having it HERRA FRUSH!

 

So I've been thinking on what size wheels I should get.
It's between 18x9.5 +12 (255/35/18) vs 18x10.5 +22 (265/35/18)
Currently I run -2.3 front and -2 rear. Non rolled fenders, I'd like to avoid rolling fenders.
I'm also running on Eibach Pro Kit Springs, I don't recall the number of the drop on those thing.
It's about a 0.5" more than Swift Springs if that helps.(Guessed)

Well, anyways let me know if you think I can pull off 18x10.5 +22 w/ 265's, and -2.3F and -2R camber.

Thanks!

 

Such a sick car.

 

sick ash rides guys,wish i had an evo...


trade a G for one?

 

Go with 9.5's if you don't want to roll fenders, you'll need to roll them if you go 10.5, with eibachs you may have to roll on the 9.5's as well.

 

That is correct, sir! They are Bride XAX-II's.... I was in the stock seats for about 2 weeks and couldn't take it anymore, I had these in my Z so I bought the rails for the X and its been comfortable ever since.


Yes, I ride to and from work at that height all day every day I also have a monster incline in my driveway, most speedbumps and inclines just take patience. I ran a spacer in the rear because I could stick my hand in and feel my rolled fenders still... just didn't seem pushed out enough.

Honestly, to me the car is not that low, it is 2" clearance in the front but because of the way the X is designed, the sides and rear have tons of room.

As I've only had the car for a month I am not nearly as experienced with this car as other members are around here. But from a general standpoint, you should really consider coilovers first so that you can:
-relieve the constraint of wheel/tire sizing based on your fixed ride height.. in other words - get the wheels you want (based on performance/price criteria I assume)
-have the ability to go lower without fear of rubbing, scraping, etc since coilovers are much stiffer
-everything else that makes coilovers > springs

that being said, based on my judgement from eibach springs (my car came with these as a surprise, everything else was bone stock, even the dealer didn't know it had lowered springs on it, and it being the only X on the lot I assumed it came at that ride height ) and my wheels/tires which seem to only be +7 offset difference from you, I'd say you can just barely clear the non-rolled fender IF you run -2.5 ish camber in the rear.

but you should roll your fenders, its good for you




Thanks for all the comments!

Yes sir, I will try my best!
