Want to Drop my X Coupe

Ok, I have been reading some things about the Eibach kit for the X, But still have worries about the ride quality VS stock and the shock life when lowered. Just do not want to have to change them anytime soon,

I recently installed Eibach's on my 09' X coupe.. You are going to get about a 15- 20% stiffer ride. It makes the car look 10x better.. I definitely recommend it..

I haven't seen anyone complain about blown shocks.. You have 11' anyways, I wouldnt worry about it..

Go for the eibachs, I love mine. The ride is about 85% of stock but the looks and the handling feel is great!
