2023 Plaid "Refresh" Lowering Links / Spacers 22" Wheels

[narkotic]

A follow-through to my post after living with a lowered X - don't do it.

The original idea was to be able to use the modes above Low to get a better ride however specific to the X, going above 35mph disables those modes and the car automatically lowered back to low mode. Looks fantastic! But rides horribly. The bottomed-out air ride gives the harshest feel with any road that has the tiniest imperfections. I may raise it back up or completely remove the links.

Tell us what settings you installed on? The typical -5 "Sport" setting?

EDIT - Realized you are on some generic DIY links..... was assuming N2ITIVE links.

Now that I've been driving my X for a month or so now I was kinda second guessing the N2ITIVE links I already purchased.

If I do install them I was thinking of trying a minimal -2 or -3 setting to see how compliant they felt and take it from there.

One thing I just noticed with my aftermarket wheels and tires, is they are a much lower profile than stock, which means I may need to use a lower setting than intended to make up for the lower tire profile.

Personally, I'd prefer spacers and replace the stock bolts with longer ones. I don't trust spacer bolts with Plaid.
