    iX Suspension setup

    I'm planning a lowering my 325ix in the near future. Was wondering what some of guys have done. I looked in the suspension lowering thread but, didn't see any iX's. Let me know what ya got!

      I strongly recommend doing GCs. H&R sports just don't have enough rate for the very limited front travel.

        I'm assuming your buddy cut the perches.

          Nope, if you cut the perches it'll lower another 3/4 inch or so.

              Just make sure your half shafts are in good condition, or they won't last long if you're running low.
