xdrive suspension purchase decision

Boosted12a · 06-23-2020, 04:38 PM

I just installed the dinan springs and koni yellows on my xi. I'm happy with the ride too. My rear only dropped 3/4 an inch and it looks like it has dropped a hair in the front. I haven't re measured since installed em. I've put a few hundred miles on it so far. Going to get an alignment Friday or Saturday. Figure the springs will have set by then. If the front hasn't dropped any I may add a spacer to the rear like you did

If you literally just installed everything, it will probably take a week before it all starts to settle. Give it some time and drive it around before getting an alignment also.

What did you install for shocks / struts? Bilstein B8s?
