yep stock struts

its not bumpy but when you hit a bump you can feel it a little more. i think its a good trade off for the look and little bit better handling.

ultimate · 03-20-2009, 03:55 PM

lol so when you hit a small pot hole you feel like you hit a crater?
i didn't think that was possible. it sucks as it is already.

i don't know if the reason it causes this is because of xi models, suspension, or rft's. or maybe all of the above.

Me either. Would love to do coils but not dropping that kinda money on them. Leaning toward the H&R sport springs. Should give a decent drop of 1.3" in the front and 1.2" in the rear.

No shit. Happened to me againg today.

J BONE · 03-20-2009, 05:09 PM

Need to find some time to paint the hubs. Carols, can you PM me the stuff you used? Not sure how i will do this since i don't have the proper equipment to take the wheels on and off. What are the chances we can do this at Ben's house? They look like absolute shit right now!

ultimate · 03-20-2009, 05:23 PM

what's the sizing and offset on the m6 rep you got?

J BONE · 03-20-2009, 05:29 PM

235/35/19 in front and 265/30/19 in back. ET 35 front and 30 rear. Have not put them on yet though. Interested to see how they look without the drop. Heard it is worse on the Xi's with 19's. My 18's look bad enough!

J BONE · 03-20-2009, 05:31 PM

Got some quotes from some vendors on here. They are all around $250 shipped.

J BONE · 03-20-2009, 05:33 PM

PM Nick@Jlevi SW. Good guy. Sounds like they have them.

J BONE · 03-20-2009, 05:34 PM

Mike, what wheels are you running now?

ultimate · 03-20-2009, 05:37 PM

i'm scared as to see how they will ride with stock shocks.

and like i said before. do you know what's causing the pothole phenomena on our cars (rtf,xi,stock suspension)??? and by installing these, it will get worse wouldn't it?

Not sure what is causing this issue. I have non-rfts so don't think it is that. Could be the suspension. Been reading a lot of this from the xi guys and they all complain about it. The true answer to our problems are the KW V3 coilovers, but too much money for me.

Not sure if it will get worse. Seth could answer this question better than me. I guess you sort of give up a little ride comfort for looks. Not sure why the xi has such a big difference than the i. I understand a little, but it is pretty drastic.
