H&R for XI

I am seeing the sport spring for Xi's part number is different with i, but both of them are lower the same (F 1.3, R 1.2). Origianally Xi is higher, so is that mean after using sport spring for Xi (50494) will still higher than I oem stock? or no gap at all? Thanks.

18LLC ........ I had been told by dealer (who looked at manual) that 330 Xi was .29 in higher than stock (Non ZSP ) 330i ....... in which case, you should ride ower than i by .75 to 1.0 ....... though not likely as low as 330i ZSP.

great, thanks for the info, so it won't be as bumpy as zsp, right? because it's different shocks.

The H&R springs for the xi are exactly the same as the 325.

but the shocks are different, so the ride quality should be different, I don't want my parents notice it when they ride in my car...

I have racing dynamics wheels on my car now, and also the replica acs roof spoiler from fucy626. Of coz with the pmb from longtran. waiting more data or result for the h & r spring. kershear kit is pretty, but it's builded by fiber glass, don't like the meterial, looking for some company in china who can make it by abs plastic or same meterial with oem.

zsp is only 0.6 lower than non zsp, so if that's .75 to 1.0 lower than non zsp, that means it's also lower than zsp about 0.15 to 0.4. But still thanks for your info, the data is very helpful.
