Excellent straight out of box. Will need some differant shock springs, silvers at front and reds on the rear. Some people run the one way in the front. and you will want to change the front belt from a blue to the green one.

I just posted these under the X-5 thread:

Looks like a good idea to me.

On my XX4 I run the Associated B2 front brace. Also I run titanium ball studs. An 86 spur gear. And a custom billet Motor clamp. And I run the green belt up front instead of the blue one. And CVD's up front instead of Universals.
