Re: Slammed Crossfire
Wheel spacers are 25mm rear, 10mm front. Both are Eibach hubcentric.
Suspension for now is unfortunately just cut springs. I took a coil off the front and a coil and a half off the rear. Seen a lot of over members doing this so figured it was free so I'd give it a try. The ride gets worse and worse, mostly due to the Midwest roads... I just drove the car to Florida Sunday and got home today (1400 miles one way) and the further south I got the better the roads got and the smoother it rode.
I used to work at a race/parts shop down there called enjuku that deals with mostly Japanese cars, but found out while I was down there that BC Racing has a coilover available for the XF. I had a set of bc coilovers on my old miata and they were awesome (I've also had stance, tein, and Megan on other miatas and Nissan 240sx's, and the BC were the best as far as ride quality) so I think I'll start saving and give those a try. I still have friends that work there so I can get them at cost...
Now I just need need to figure out what to do first.... Coilovers or tune and intake... Hmmmm

Examples of the only two websites I could find that had BC Coilovers listed for a Crossfire. You'll notice neither website has an actual model number listed and upon calling both places the model numbers they gave me in fact matched the coilovers BC manufactuers for the r171 chassis.

The KW's don't go as low as I would like for them to and I will likely eventually end up ordering some shorter springs through Swift but for now they fit the bill. The whole setup rides amazingly (They are 19 way dampening adjustable and I currently have them set right in the middle at 9) and I have them as low as they will go which is a 2" drop (likely a little more after they settled).
Hope this helps man! Just didn't wanna see you spend $900+ and get a set of coilovers that won't even fit your car.

Well damn! Really disappointed! My friend at enjuku told me he could get a set for 825 shipped...a steal. But I guess I'll have to go a different route
I do like my current ride height but it has definitely taken a toll on the stock suspension. Maybe I'll just get some Kyb shocks from autozone and call it a day?
By the way, you're car sounds sick in your sig. Where can I find some pics?
