I figured that since there were so many tutorials on lowering xmods, why not raise them?
What is needed, (got mine from extra parts and stuff):
screws (exact ones that hold the battery pack).
small spacers that will fit around those screws. Using the nuts from the tires would work(extra).(Just poke through the enclosed end). Or even nuts used for bolts. Just make sure that they fit sort of snug.
Here is the simplest way that I found out how to do it:
On the chassis, the front clip that locks into the body is what will be raised along with the clip on the body in the back.
1. First unscrew both suspension screws and take of the suspension.
2. Second what you have to do is unscrew the 2 screws the hold the front clip.
3.Keep the suspension and clip close by. Now taking the longer screws, put them through the holes the hold the clip(through the bottom of the chassis, not the actual clip). Then put the raisers/spacers through the screws. They should go all the way down.(with a little screwing it on)
4. Use around 1-2 and that should raise it pretty well.
Then put the clip on and then the suspension on. NOTE: The suspension will be TIGHT!! But will work a little but only because of the raise.
5. For the back, unscrew the clip that is on the body that clips to the chassis.
6. Here you will also need a longer screw because the raisers/spacers will need to be the same length. You can basically use whatever size you want-it is up to you. The slit on the rear clip on the body, you MIGHT...MIGHT need to cut that off. not really needed though.
7. After you unscrew the clip, then put the new screw through along with the nut or the peice that you will feel free to use. Then screw the clip back on and next put the body back on and there you go...vroom vroom!
That would be cool if the hummer came out, because I would raise it.
thanx I used this to raise the back of my '65 mustang and it has helped keep the frnt wheels on the ground when im using my SB motor with 9 teeth for drag
srry im alil late for this one but this is for the like first 4 post theres a celica and a merc
i wanna make my STI into a rally car...there's a nice dirt track at my school i wanna try out :D
I just finished raising my Rsx tonight . While i really lke the lower look i needed a little more ground clearance for outside driving it was just to low for outside. I also put in the suspension upgrade with blue in the front and red in the back. I notice now that the two pockets that the rear dampers sit in drag on the ground .I bet it won't be too long before i wear those right down.
does this work with evos too? gonna make my 6 cell batteries always falling out lancer a rally car.
I used red suspension springs instead.. I can tighten or loosten the screws as I please, which lowers it and raises it.
i tried it and it does work. but i didnt really need it, so i got rid of it. my original white supra body is so chopped up that it looks like it doesnt even have wheel wells in the rear... so my modded tires fit right in.
[quote:ffa41d9c9d="-XCRL-"]As of now they're not, but they're coming out with a merc and a celica!
Yup and they're also bringin in a Porsche.
Really? They are, that will be cool! I wanted to use an IW01 body!
pics would be nice, it's kind of confusing otherwise, thanks!
Need this for raising my hmmer :)
EDIT: Does this just raise the body or does it raise the whole car from the ground? If it doesn't raise the car off the ground, do you know of any tuts that tell how to do that?

He looks verry nice!!!! metallic Grey
By the way, why should u raise an x-mod???
i just dont see the use.
Yeah, I was thinking of doing it with one of the muscle cars instead of my imprezza or nsx.
thats true i think they will stay in the car bodies but they did come out with musle cars so i dont know....
if the hummer came out they would need to make bigger rims and tires

sounds ok but im not in to raising xmods since there is only car bodies right now if they come out with the hummer body (which im not sure they will cause its a rumor) then id be interested. ive seen ashamans or someone do that but in a different way and it looked kinda wierd.
OHHHHH :oops: .Thanks
He posted that a year ago, the evos weren't released yet. :wink:
