Fixing the xi suspension is not only for drivability but im also learning quite a lot and just wanna make sure my facts are straight. Thanks
You can replace any of the XI rear suspension components with the M3 components (sways excluded). It will help out some of the slopiness that is found in the XI, but you are still stuck with the front end. Changing out springs alone will not help the cause.
