Of course they do, mostly, but in a high pressure monotube shock, there is an additional offset force due to the design that will raise the height 1/4-1/2 inch or so depending on suspension geometry and motion ratios. Basically piston rod cross sectional area (sq in) times internal gas pressure in PSI.

Would you recommend springs with these? I know they're meant for stock springs but if I got something like "i" springs would that be a modest enough drop so as not to damage the shocks?

Couldn't say I am not familiar with how OEM i springs behave on xi. I think eibach makes something like sportline springs that are not as much of a drop as pro kit.

Has anyone ever used D2's on an 335 XI before?

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and new to any of these bmw mods....i wanted a new suspension though. I have a E90 328xi, no sports package. What would be recommended for my car? Any advice would be of great help. Had the car bone stock for 5 years and would really like to start modding it up a bit. Getting kinda bored

KW V1's are stainless steel and they are an extremely well known company. I just picked up a set used on here and i'm getting it installed this week so I should have some pics up sometime this weekend.

Haha yup. The guy who had them had 8k miles on them never driven in the snow. He had a FBO + ASR Turbo 335xi so the suspension was only used on the track. $775 shipped to me and they look brand new

Used coils sounds dangerous to me. So you bought coils that were tracked to death? |

I wouldn't say tracked to death but tracked yea. I feel like its no different then having coilovers that were on my car for 8k and either selling them or continuing to use them... Mine would probably be worse too since they would be normal use in snow, salt, and rain. That's kinda how I think about all used stuff I get. Unless something's wrong and its broken its no different then the parts on my car right now. Plus it allowed me to save $700 from buying new coils

I guess. They look brand new to me and the two shops I brought them to both said I got a great deal on coilovers that look like they're barely used. As long as they look new and perform with no issues I could care less if they were tracked, driven through snow daily, had salt poured on them, etc... I'm just happy I picked up a set of good coils for almost half of what they cost new

Edit: Plus if all goes well I plan to track my car this summer so buying coilovers that were tracked really doesnt bother me.
