He showed me this and the second I saw it I went to auto zone and got the $5 fix. Done wonders so far. No need to pay the insane amount for the OEM accessories. Plus the rear mud flaps aren't needed. Just prevent dirt from the front tires hitting those spots and u are set!

For those with the Eibach's, Don't you scrape more? I have to be carefull with the stock setup as even small inclines can get withing 1/4" from the rubber piece on my OEM Aero package.

Does the ride firm up a bit as well?

Also not you will have to do a lot of trimming so they don't rub on the tires. But hey I think $5 and some trimming is much better than the Mitsu mud flaps that cost an arm and a leg...

I have the factory Aero so the rock chips hitting the paint just before the rear wheels hasn't been an issue yet. I pulled into my parents driveway which has a semi deep drainage gutter and the apprently the rubber just hits if I don't go in at an angle. Any feedback of how much more scraping is going to occur with the 1" drop on the Eibachs? How well are the stock shocks able to handle the increased spring rates and is handling improved or are these just for looks and a lower center of gravity?

I expected that for 5 bucks, no problem. Just got my pro springs in and love the height, the ride seems a bit firmer when city cruising, and come alive in aggressive cornering. next is rear strut brace and firmer sways....

Little bit harder than stock, but surprisingly compliant, I'm happy with mine

Just installed mine last week.
Install is a breeze! Fronts took no time at all. I removed the rear seats for ease of access to the rears and while it took me a little more time to remove the seats, it made the rear install quick and effortless.

It looks sick! Perfect stance for the X. No funky wheel gap, looks the same in the front & back.

The ride is definitely stiffer. Not back breaking stiff, definitely works well for everyday driving conditions. I have yet to do any aggressive driving but from just scooting around town, all I can say is... "Worth the money!"

I don't have the aero package on my X, but I have yet to have any clearance issues
