Anyone with Swift springs on an xi?

I posted in the Suspension section, but I'm gonna try here as well...

I'm looking to lower my car, and specifically using Koni Yellows and Swift springs.

Specifically, I'm wondering if anyone has done Koni/Bilstein with Swift springs on an xi before?

I can't seem to find this combination through searching... =/

Interested too!
The rear should be the same, probably needs to be a bit stiffer because of the higher load. The front is what makes the vendors say that they don't fit, same thing with Eibachs – they will probably fit, but you don't know how much drop you will get.

I wonder why nobody tries the EU-spec Eibachs made for the E91 335i xdrive (station wagon)...

They are stiffer and taller in the rear, so there is probably no or less rake.
