hope its not the case for you.

would be nice to just stiffen up suspension then and have a high ride height thats tight.

thanks for the info

while we are on the subject, is it true about the fronts?

functionality wise i know dumping an IX would be pointless, aside from a nasty track beast. But i think it would look pretty sick.

lowered though seems it would still function better then just making it RWD ;)

There are almost no options out there for springs and even the H&Rs I have on my car in my sig are not that low. I imagine they might cause problems though because as of last week I've developed a horrendous driveline vibration which I need to investigate further.

i agree completely thats its stupid!

i was just making a joke, guess it didnt come off that way.

and i was talking about the front geometry. are the shafts driving the front wheels not called half shafts? I don't know much about IX's never owned one but would love to.

Oh ok, I get what you were saying. I thought you meant the rear which is why I had no idea what you were talking about.

calm down now,

i have heard many times, lowered IX = broken half shafts due to the geometry. I could be way off on this, my comment was in jest concerning that issue

The rear subframes are very similar if not the same, I can hardly imagine they'd cause issues when lowered. I'm talking about the front geometry issue and why converting an IX to fwd is just plain stupid.

[RickSloan]

What the hell are you talking about?

That's all fine and good if you don't mind getting ripped off for parts.

I've bought many things from members of that forum and been ripped off a few times. I try to only buy from people there if I can't find the parts anywhere else and the parts are local.

if he lowers it he wont break half shafts ;)

But even if you change the subframe the strut towers still have IX specific geometry which sucks balls with the front wheels powered and is even worse without.

/\ You have a really good point. You know he put an e46 M bumper on a vert too.

sold all the ix parts to someone who really needed it.
