Hi guys...ive been folowing this forum since it began and been reading up on the X Fire and pros v cons.

I am in Melbourne, Australia and as u know we hav'em here too; although they arent exactly thick on the ground !!

I have always been a Mopar man and still have my Charger; I have always liked the X Fire since it was lauched O/S - and have been waiting for the day when I can get my hands on one.

So yesterday I managed to scam a Blaze Red 6 spd for an afternoon....and had an absolute blast cruising around on a beautiful day in Melbourne!!

So now Ive placed my order for a brand new one - with a med grey/dark grey interior; similar ride and same spex to the one I test drove. I should have it in 7-10 days or so.

Anyway....my list of mods will be limited ie: lowering, tinted glass and maybe a Sat Nav/DVD head unit later on.

Can anyone tell me :

i. How low can I go....? I think about 45-60mm will give it the look im
after? Any tips/pix? Ive seen some lowered rides on here, but dont
know whaich springs were used, nor how many mm's they have been
lowered??
ii. Also, what brand of springs ? Eibach ? Others ? Prefer to source
them out of So Cal too...!!

Any tips, info, advice woulld be great!!

Thanx !!

 

Hmmm...guess no one wants to greet me ??


Anyone??

Hey! Welcome to you. We have seen a few other Aussies on the forum. I am surprised one of them didn't give you a holler.

We do not lower cars here in Chicago. The pot holes would eat you alive.

 

i am using the eibach pro kit. the ride height has been lowered just over 1.5 inches. i am also using koni adjustable shocks. (see album for more pics)

 

Congratulations and welcome XFYRED. I've been busy enjoying my own new ride. It's a fun car and a real head turner, more so than I expected.
Enjoy,

 

Hi XFYRED,
