If it were my turn to buy CO's, I'd be going with the TC Kline single adjustables.

Yury · 06-19-2015, 09:29 AM

depends what u want to get

I would go with AST 4100 for xdrive, I got one on my e90, for me personally feels better that my previous KW V3.

Misterp214 · 06-19-2015, 09:47 AM

I know there's a problem with the xi not going low enough and I want to do that without killing the ride too much. How much did you get the ast 4100 for?

Yury · 06-19-2015, 09:58 AM

There is no ready set from AST fro XI, only for RWD e90, my set was custom made to be able to go 2 cm below stock. It can be changed to go lower by shortening strut rod, that must be specified at order. I got mine for 1500 EUR.
If interested I can make some pics and post it here.

I just met someone with Broadway statics this past weekend. I guess his were built to spec to get lower. The car was pretty damn stanced for an xi.

Thanks in advance.

Very hard for anyone to help you without knowing what your goals are. Looking for street or track performance, going to drive year round, care about longevity, appearance purposes, etc?

SPJR · 07-01-2015, 01:44 PM

Personally I would go with KW's. I guess my opinion is biased because I have them but major differences are:

KW v1 - Only height adjustable
KW v2 - They don't make them for XI's for some reason
KW v3 - Fully adjustable

If you didn't know the ST's are actually made by KW and are practically the same except for the outer plating. If you live somewhere it snows and they throw down a shit ton of salt I would highly recommend going with the KW's since they're stainless steal. The ST's would just rust away unless you kept up with cleaning them.

I don't have any input on the BC's but I'm sure someone else could give you info, hope that was helpful.

+1. In fact, that's what I purchased for my E91 a few months ago. Installed at the TCK facility in Santa Barbara by TC himself. Quite pleased - they totally transformed the car.

ST V1 for Xi if not in a salt/winter area. Otherwise KW V1.

jose_sonictuning · 07-07-2015, 07:05 PM

We are on our 4th batch of the new coils for the XI platform now.

Suitable for those that are looking for adjustable damping, better handling with comfort.

Let us know if you have any other questions.
