At the time I only installed a sport spring on one side. Having the stock xi spring on the other side may have held up the sport spring side. The sport spring is about 1/2" shorter than the stock xi spring, so there may be a little drop, probably not a full 1/2" due to it being stiffer.

Well I wash the car and took some pics. The center of wheel to fender arch is 13 5/8" to 13 3/4" all around. This is Eibach up front and zsp on the rear. They have only been on for a day or two, so there may be more settling in the front. The drop is exactly what I was looking for and the new 713's from BarvarianX look great.
Springs installed on xi , some specs I found out(+/-1/8" each car will vary): Zsp front 14 1/8" Zsp rear 13 3/4" Eibach front 13 3/4" Eibach rear 13 1/8" (this is an estimate based on the Eibach being 5/8" shorter than the zsp) For those wanting to get rid of the raised front without touching the rear, I have zsp fronts for sale, pm me.

there is no special spring for the xi though. as per eibach. you need to buy the springs for a non xi. |

So I can replace the springs on my xi, with the springs from a sport i? And it will give a slight drop?

yes. I would recommend the eibach's all around, if you do just the i sport springs, you will still have the front rake

Does anyone know how the spring rates of the Zsp compare to the Eibach, or for that matter the H&R springs? I want to put a set on, but I'm torn about which way to go... My car is my daily driver and I don't want too harsh a ride, but the xi suspension has got to go... I'm less concerned with the drop than I am with ride quality and performance.
