Finally lowered my XI

reeltime · 05-22-2013, 02:02 PM

I bought her a while ago and always told myself I wanted to drop it. Bought a set of KW V1 xi coils from Tiago@VRSF. Couldn't be any happier.

Just installed them today so they still need to break in. Fronts and rears have tread left.. Pretty sure I can go much lower.

Ride is much better. Not bouncy or anything. I like it!

Nice. That's about where I'd like to lower my xi to as well. How many more threads/inches do you have left on the front?

I don't exactly remember but I know I could've gone lower. I think I probably had about an 1-1.5 inches of threads on the fronts

I just got teh kws from Tiago earlier this month. Amazing setup and much better suspension (no surprise) than the floaty xi suspension we have. Get some 12 and 15mm wheel spacers from BMS or somewhere, and that will look perfect!!

Completely agree.. No more floaty feeling at all. I saw your thread earlier, car looks great! I'm planning on running some spacers soon but these coils and some other things have depleted my mod money for the time being

CWysong · 05-24-2013, 02:35 PM

either way, it looks great! I like the wheels and the drop is great!

Thedouceman · 05-25-2013, 01:27 AM

What size tires are you using on this setup? Looks nice tho, thinking I might be doing this soon also.

Thanks! I'm running 255/35/18 for the rears and 225/40/18 for the fronts.

douwe22 · 05-25-2013, 10:20 AM

looks awesome, glad you like it.

zipstic · 05-25-2013, 10:21 AM

Looks great! I'm glad you went with the V1's and like them!

I love SG with black wheels and trim.

Those orange reflectors are hurting my eyes hahaha!

Where did you get it installed? Looks good

infidel335 · 05-29-2013, 04:35 PM

I have the same suspension on my 335xi and am very happy with it. Making the car not look so off road ready and the dramatically increased handling is awesome for under $2k.
