3 ways to do it.
1) 3 Fat chicks in back seat (you might rub)
2) Springs ($350 - $850: Unless you have a spring compressor I highly recommend going to a shop. The Spring themselves will cost you anywhere from 200 - 450 depending on which company and quality you get. Then another 150-400 for installation depending on where you go (If you have the X this is pretty much your only choice)
3) Coils: This is the BEST option, you will get more power over your suspension your car will corner like its on rails and its adjustable. You have a bunch of options when it comes to manufacturers whether its BC or KW its all about how much you wanna spend and what you wanna get out of it. Heres the problem with coils you can JUST get the coils. After getting coils you will most likely need to roll your fenders, get a camber kit (depending on how low you go), you will need 2 wheel alignments (one after you put it on and the other when the springs set). BC coils run for ~1200 and KW's are like ~2200 camber kits run for about 150+ and rolling your fenders will cost you like $25, alignments are like 50 - 95.
When it comes down to it if you have the AWD sedan your just like me and your out of luck! You're only reasonable choice would be springs. BC Racing offers coils for AWD but its such a horrible ride i wouldn't recommend it to my enemies.

The cheaper route is springs. If you want a very conservative drop get swift springs, and if you want a medium drop go eibach pro kit. I know the eibachs have a close to stock comfort and I am also pretty sure the swift springs do too. If you want the comfort of adjustability, dampaning, more overall control of your suspension go with coilovers. Since you have an AWD your only option is BC coilovers. A lot of people have mixed reviews about the BC coils so you would have to research on that.

This guy was dropped on the 6399.140 pro kit and he has a X sedan as well.
I currently have this kit sitting in my garage, Im just waiting for the weather to clear out a bit more before I install it. Once I have it installed, I will post some pics of how it looks
