What spring/shock works for an xi?

blue92coupe · 07-22-2009, 12:39 AM

After reading around this forum, the only options I see are:

KW V1/V3
H&R Sport Coilovers
H&R Sport Springs
Eibach Pro Kit

I know the xi didn't come with sport/zsp springs even with sport package, is that right?
Will non-xi sport/zsp springs fit on the xi? Are e90 and e92 springs interchangeable?
Any help would be great...thanks.

For the Xi models, KW only offsets the V3 system for your car. This is ideal of you need the adjustment for height and stiffness (rebound and compression adjustable). However, if you are after a drop with a firmer setup, springs will work just fine. Just remember that your stock shocks will wear out sooner with aftermarket springs.

Ideally you will want to replace the stock shocks if you decide to go the spring route. We do have a few options available for the xi models that can be found here on the website:
