Promo good on orders placed by midnight December 6th.

If you've already placed an order, no worries - this offer still applies to you.

Are Junk2 Coilovers considered a competitive product? They have springs and shocks move up and down. Other then that not sure if they are really competition or not for Xida's.

Haha. No, not offering the additional bonus for those, sorry!! Full list of qualifying shock setups are on the product page.

Updated the original comparison composite with the ride heights embedded. Easier to get an idea of the travel range.

Mounts are the last parts we were waiting for. They left the factory a week or so late but they are finally in transit to us. Looking like we'll ship the first kits out next week. Woot!

The long wait is over. We are now accepting pre-orders for the first batch of NC Xida shocks shipping out December 21, 2021. Shocks are actually all built and arriving here next week. Mounts and springs arriving end of November.
Is today the day? It is 9:36am on the 21rst. That means Ed has had 36min to pack boxes and print Fedex labels.

Almost. Still waiting on mounts and bags. Should arrive this week but with the holiday probably won't get most of them shipped til next week.

Another good video. There may be overlap but perhaps you want to do one for the ND version too. Good for prospective customers who search YT for ND-specific content and also good for those of us with confirmed orders who want to revel in our good judgment.

Yah. After doing all of the other iceberg videos then the NCX, I realized I had never done one for the NA/NB. So we will do that and NDX.

Funny that.

We had tracking for all the front mounts (UPS), due here last Wednesday. Repeated delays for whatever reason. Yesterday, the driveway (no gate) was partially blocked with cars. We heard the driver pull up, then just turnaround and leave. We then get tracking update "Driver needs security access to property". Really?

Then notification of your forum post pops up in our inbox. 15 seconds later I hear the familiar horn of the UPS truck at our back door. Bingo, everything is finally here. No stress at all..

Great stuff. Thanks for posting. Eager to hear your first impressions.
Interesting enough to start a new thread for your install I think. Easier for people to follow and ask you questions directly. Post a link here if you decide to do that too.

OK if we share your pics?

Ill be posting a review thread when I get the install and corner weighting done. And get to drive on it.

You may absolutely use my pics.

Sakebomb fit. No travel limiters needed.

Very cool, and thanks. Glad you did not need the limiters. We can take those back if you end up not using them in front or rear. Reach out to Ed.

Default Fronts

Front installed. Can use all the travel. Tires kiss the liners at full stuff. Huge increase in droop travel.

Very minor touching on spring and upper control arm with my offset Delrin bushings and sphericals.





Former droop:



Xidas:




Full stuff:



Contact, and I can still wiggle the spring so it really is just a touch, and mine is obviously not stock:
