Dropped the front of my X today! Before the lift, the front sat:

Driver's Side = 32 & 3/4"
Pass's Side = 33"

After the lowering job, they both sit at 32". Now, with a full tank of gass, my front end sits 3/4" lower than the rear.

Ride quality has improved.
Front-end control has improved.
Stability has improved.
"Bumpiness" is still there, but she dosen't shimmer and get all crazy anymore.

I like it!

In the future, a 1" drop in the rear, and then an Air Dam up front with an additional 1" drop. I'll be all set :)

Thanks for the concise results...can't wait to do mine and get rid of this cushy, floaty ride (partly due to old shocks).
