I think that a decent sway bar up front should change my mind on that, but I havent done it yet. AC Schnitzer, Dinan, and Hamann -- they are good,and were popular in the past, but as time has gone by and newer products and technology have come out, i think that people have come to the conclusion that those brands are OVERPRICED and you can get better items elsewhere. Audi Quattro is WAY different than BMW X drive. If I were going AWD again, I would go Quattro. Quote:

Im looking to keep my ride height about the same but looking for a more sportier ride with the least amount of drop due to using my car as a DD and snow. Any suggestions on suspension components (coilovers, springs, shocks) with the least amount of drop?

kw v1 for $1300 shipped is the best solution, since its height adjustable and really improves the handling.

Im sure they fit. Try in the for sale section because some of the vendors are selling them or ask tischer for a part number.

How about the Eibach Sportline? The list shows both H&R Sport and Race, yet only the Pro-Kit for Eibach. I'm definitely not thinking of getting coilovers to avoid any noises from any of those, not H&R due to the rake look and stiffness.
From the picture researches I have made, it looks like the "i" with the Eibach Pro-Kit drops the car a little lower than on the "xi" by the appearance even with the struts replaced as well. Just wonder if there are other components on the "xi" that causes the car to be higher than the "i"? Please advise.

Its just the springs that make the xi higher. If the spring fits on the i, then I will assume it fits on the xi. If its not on the list it might just be because I haven't seen anybody with that particular mod yet. That doesnt mean it wont work.

The springs are interchangeable. Its the struts/shocks that are not.

Front: Springs 1.0" + height diff. from non-sport 1.2" = 2.2" total drop Rear: Springs 0.8" + height diff. from non-sport 1.2" = 2.0" total drop after if the math is correct....

Perhaps someone with the Eibach springs can take a quick measurement of center cap to fender? I did read somewhere on this board that the sport i to the Xi is not 1.2" lower and that it is more like .7". I think the guy who posted that did an informal measurement between his sport i and his wife's Xi. Suffice to say he was shocked the difference wasn't greater.

If I buy the eibach pro kit will the rear of the car ride lower than the front? I'm sure this has been asked before. Sorry FNG here
