The only drawback is creaks from the thrust arm bushings if I park with the wheels turned which does go away after a few turns. Along with my M3 rear end parts, the XI now handles amazing. I'm sticking with OEM springs for now because I don't want to deal with the NVH from doing lowering springs.

If you want a noticeable improvement over stock, I would recommend doing the poly bushings first. If you find yourself craving more, then open up the wallet for the other mods (which are significantly more expensive).
Thanks- would you have a link to the parts list for the poly bushings!!??

Would be great to do them with some bilstein hd -
