Update, having issues adjusting front, I have 2 finger gap currently that I am not happy with. The rear can go stupid low though.

The handling has improved drastically even at current drop. There are 24 levels of dampening adjustment, I currently have it set on front 4 and rear 4 and it is very comfortable.

If you run into this issue with certain model of the 335i. Give us a ring, we have few ways to bolt up your OE strut bars.

Quote from Ray at Sonic Tuning:

"You will need M10 1.5 x 30MM Bolts. And 4 of the 3/8 Flat washer on each side.

One on top of the strut for the bolt, and three of them under the strut to raise the strut bar."

Sorry 12hr days at work have been getting to me and forgot to post it earlier.

Thanks bro for the follow up, my set is still sitting in my entrance foyer. Just in search for a place to install them and covering all the bases if any problems.

One of our customer right after install.

Mild drop 1.5 Front and 1.3 rear.

Keep the corners balanced to OE spec.

Another thing to note is that the OE run-flats always runs a bit stretched on the front.

Thats about how mine is up front right now.

That's perfect drop for me

[Chris_506]

Lowest setting for the front..pleaseeeee

[M335Xi]

I couldnt make it any lower up front, waiting to see if it settles more. Might try different springs if I am not happy with it.

[ZhengHai]

In for more updates and pictures. Especially the clearance issue with the washers.

Side note: my v1s are way lower

[amr_e90]

just ordered these will post some pictures when installed. Super excited to finally get rid of my HR springs/xi shocks ...

im kind of dissapointed if this is about how low it will go in the front, specially since sonic tuning states the go 2'' plus or soemthing like that.

We didnt go to the lowest setting with this setup.

Wait for it! We will have more time to work with the next car since we had to do alot of measurement off the stock OE suspension.

Shot a quick pic for you guys. My current settings are front all the way maxed out WITH 3/8" thick round plate I used off of the top factory strut assembly. I did this to help with clearance issues that arise with factory strut braces as mentioned before. You do NOT have to use this if you have aftermarket strut brace or M3 strut brace upgrade due to different design. (I believe this problem is only on the E90 XI models, Rob please confirm this for everyone)

I have about 1 finger gap up front now, with M3 strut brace upgrade or alternative and round plate removed there should be little to no gap in the front and it will bring you down lower. I have rear adjusted to match the front currently but they can go ALOT more lower than you can see in this picture.

My wheel setup is 18x8.5" with 235/40/18 tires all around, 15mm spacer rear and 10mm spacer front. I have dampening set on 5 front and 5 rear and I am very happy they way it handles and the comfort.

car looks good, but the drop is definitely not near what they advertised. Seems like false advertisement if you ask me.

This may be because of the 3/8" plate he had to use for his install. I'll be doing coilovers + M3 front strut brace this weekend so it should settle a bit lower as he stated. I'll take pics once I install.

Like the OP stated, it can go lower on this setup.

We are going to do another install next week, this time we will drop it all the way.
