Dude that looks soo good. That decides it for me, I'm definitely going this route when I can! I was afraid it'd be too low of a drop but it looks perfectly factory!

Thanks and Glad to help! I'm happy with the ride height for the time being, but be aware that it's a bit deceptive. I've had no issues with scraping at speed but the plastic undershroud is fairly low and I have scrapped it on a large speed bump once or twice. Wish there was a company that made a metal undershroud for the X.

TBW makes a metal undershroud for the X.

Pretty sure ZSpeed did a Black Friday sale when I purchased mine in late 2019. I'd keep an eye out (and maybe sign up for emails) on the ZSpeed, Z1, and TBW sites. Might be others to watch too.
