I plan on changing springs in the spring.
Not sure on weather to go with the U code or the V code.
Here is the question, How tall will the X be with this change?
I frequently find myself parking in public garages. Not much clearance, sometines I almost want to duck myself.
Would hate to have the X too tall to fit.
Tanking you in advance for your info!
Regards,
James |

James,
U codes sound like the way to go for your needs. The V codes have a slightly higher spring rate than the U codes and will provide a bit more lift (about 1.5 inches vs. .75-1") depending upon which engine you have.
Check out this great article by Eric Long of Super Motors:

Here is another post from a different forum site:

I am sure there are owners on this site that can give you exact measurments. There are many great posts on this subject on this site and others.
I took my family out to the movies the other night and had to enter a parking garage (my ex has stock suspension) and the roof rack cleared by about 4 inches only!!
