Xa Coilovers
The rubber OEM bushes do not rotate in your 5 th Gen arms. They twist. As they
twist, they add spring rate. If the bushes are not relaxed to the new lower ride
height the effective spring rate will be different when the arms move. This mission
critical step in lowering is frequently over looked. To get the most from your new Xa
coilovers the suspension bushes must be timed. An alignment rack is ideal for this.
