What a difference a 1/2" makes...
Got the SPP front perches installed yesterday. And...
The first thing I noticed was when I sat in the car to drive away, I could see more of the road. Hard to believe, but...I was not looking for this change. It just hit me...like the front end had shrunk. A friend who drove the car said the same thing. I love this 'cause, coming from an E46, the E92 seemed a little big for me. It just got a bit smaller feeling (like my E46 did when I had it lowered). I drove the car pretty hard the evening I picked it up so that things would settle. And they did. I took pics this morning from the same place I took before pics - coming out of my driveway - and the results are just as advertised: It is 0.5-0.6" lower (and even a little lower from the front edge of the aero front to the road). Overall, I am happy with the results. I wanted to drop the car more but it is impractical in my area. (I'd already scraped leaving a typical driveway). As it now sits, the car has a more aggressive rake and that little drop does make a significant difference to the "trained" eye...the ones from us motorheads, who spend waaay too much money for such a minor (but really kickass) change. ***More pics tomorrow from a better (previous) location showing the drop on level ground.*** Before: After: Before: Note: Car is at a slant coming out of driveway. This is NOT the distance from the lip to a level road. After:

You're right...not for the xi. Guess you'd have to do something like adjustable coilovers and drop the front a little more than the rear, eh?
